Sandbag Training Isn’t Just For The Military!
Seriously, a bag with sand in it. Who would’ve thought that you’d have the perfect gym workout swap. On those sunny days when you can’t help but be outside, this workout will more than suffice.
Sandbags have been used by platoons in the Military for decades to build functional strength. Some of the best exercises you can use with a sandbag are squats, cleans and presses.
We hit the beach to give you a workout you can do with your training buddy or buddies.
What you’ll need:
- A Sandbag (obviously).
- A kick-ass workout partner(s).
- A pre-workout. No seriously, you’ll need the energy.
The Sandancer
10-Minute Circuit
- Lay out two place markers: one for the start and the other 25-meters away (for the 50–meter sprint exercise).
- While one partner is doing the sprints, the other should be at the “start” place marker doing the sandbag exercise.
- Cleans
- Clean & Press
- Squat, Clean & Press
You may want to both perform a couple of reps of each exercise to warm-up, as well as get a feel for movement the sandbag.
Aim for speed, but don’t sacrifice your form.
CHALLENGE: Do the whole circuit 3 times. Only rest 30 seconds after each round of the whole circuit is complete.
