Just Lift Some Heavy Shit And Shut Up
Take the heaviest sandbag you can handle (preferably without handles) and lift it from ground-to-overhead for 20 reps. If you get the loading right you should start to struggle around 5 or 6 reps and probably end up dumping the bag after some unsuccessful reps later on in the set.
Record the weight of your bag and the time it takes you to complete the 20 reps.
Men and women should aim for a bodyweight sandbag.

The Beginners Guide To Improving Your Health and Fitness
I originally wrote this post on Facebook but thought I'd share it here too as it had such a great response. I make no apologies for the fact that it's very straightforward.
The beginners guide to improving your health and fitness:
1. Lift some heavy stuff. As you get stronger, lift some heavier stuff.
2. Get comfortable lifting your own bodyweight. Work out increasingly cool ways to do this.
3. Move around. A lot. And every now and then do this like your life depended on it.
4. Eat a predominantly unprocessed diet. And don't eat too much.
5. Don't worry about small details. If you just do these things consistently then most of your questions will start to seem quite silly.
