The Sandbag workout


The Sand Bag workout!!

As you can probably see I love to work with different types of training. Believe it or not all training is not equal. Different kinds of training offer different types of results depending on what your looking to do with your goals. Myself, I'm a firm believer in trying to be as good as possible in as many forms as training as I can because I want to be as well rounded as possible.

With that being said last Saturday I purchased my 1st bag of sand to start my new adventure with sand bag training:) I've been researching this alot at the Undergroundstrengthcoach. com and learning the many many things you can do with just a bag of sand. Alot of police, military and special forces personnel use this kind of training to prepare for the number of crazy task they deal with day in and day out. My 1st session with my bag with something like this, believe after this workout I was soaking in the bath tub for awhile:):) I was so whipped and I had never pushed myself like this in a long time.

6 reps per movement, 5-6 movements per round, 5 rounds!!!!!

You can make your bag heavy as you feel but mine is about 90lbs.

Sandbag bear hug squats 6
sandbag lunges 6
sandbag bent over rows6
sandbag over head press 6
sandbag cleans6

Your not suppose to let your bag of sand down until you've completed your last rep of the last movement. Trust me your using muscles in your body that you've never used before! Your hands are on fire from trying to grip the bag as the sand moves back and forth, your legs are working big time on every lift and your core is working like crazy trying to balance this thing.

Get yourself a bag of sand and let it rip!!!!!!
