SANDBAG | WEEK 09 | 02/21/2021

 

Street Parking Sandbag is posted once a week - on Sunday. You will find a sandbag "option" several times during the week (usually in Program C) of the regular programmed workouts. This workout, however, was programmed specifically with the sandbag in mind.

We typically suggest that instead of adding this in on top of the regular workout on any certain day - that you simply swap one of the regular programmed workouts out for this one. We will provide suggestions each week in the daily workout write ups for Programs A, B, and C - for which workouts make the most sense to swap.


WARM UP
SANDBAG GENERAL WARM UP

WORKOUT

60 Bear Complex Reps

10 Hop Overs every minute on the minute*

Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Time

Goal: 12-16 Minutes

*Start Hop Overs at the 1:00 mark.

COACHES NOTES
The goal for this one would be to maintain a pace of 4-5 reps per minute. If you are working with a heavier bag, consider shooting for 3 a minute and lowering the total reps to 45-50. Make sure you are standing all the way up on the first part of the clean and the arms are locking out on both shoulder to overhead portions!

SANDBAG BEAR COMPLEX
You have a few options: You can do it as written - Squat Clean
- Thruster
- Back Squat
- Back Rack Thruster

OR

You can do:
- Power Clean
- Front Squat
- Push Press or Jerk
- Back Squat
- Push Press or Jerk

Do not RUSH through these reps. Get set up well for the clean. Keep the back flat and focus on a great clean (either version).

If you are doing a thruster, make sure the sandbag is on the shoulders/biceps, heels are down, knees are out. Feed the press with the drive from the legs.

When lowering onto the back - BE CAREFUL and absorb the catch with the knees! Then make sure you are reset before squatting.

Reach the butt back and down, keep the heels down and chest up. Feed the press with the leg drive for this thruster or push press/jerk too!
