SANDBAG | WEEK 28
This workout is great for anyone who wants to learn more ways to implement their sandbag and gain strength from playing with this unstable load. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.

Alright guys, Im not going to lie this one is rough.
For this one you want to make sure you chose the
appropriate weight for your bag so that you can
push to get the thruster unbroken. Try to keep the
rounds in the 5-6 min range.
For the run - the distance should take you 1:30- 2:15
given that you get a 1 min rest inbetween rounds.
If this is still hard for you to achieve - shorten the run a bit to maybe 300m
If you are unable to run for space or weather reasons
you can sub Bike 30 (men)/20 (women) cal bike, Row 500 Meters
or even 2 min of Double unders, Single unders, low step ups, or taps.
For the sandbag thrusters get the bag on one shoulder with the elbows high. Keep your feet under shoulders & heels down.
reach your butt back and down and get to the bottom of the squat position, really
try to keep your elbows high while keeping the midline braced.
Stand hard and fast to pop the sandbag off of the body. Pop the bag up and over your head and onto the other shoulder. Work to pass through a fully locked out position when the bag is over your head before lowering back down.
For the push ups + lat sandbag drag set your feet up in a wider stance
for a stronger base. Start on one side of the bag and perform a
push up, make sure the chest and thighs
touch the ground while keeping
the hips slightly elivated. Keep belly nice and tight.
Come to full lockout at top of the push up.
Reach for the sandbag with the opposite
are while keeping the hips as square as
possible, rotation of the hips will come as
your body starts to fatigue and thats fine.
Drag and toss the bag across your body underneath. Try your best to fully clear
your sandbag across your body.
