SANDBAG | WEEK 22 | 05/23/2021

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

75 Bear Complex Reps

10 Hop Overs every minute on the minute starting at 1:00

Suggested Sandbag Weight:
Men: 50-70#
Women: 25-45#

Score: Total Time

Goal: 10-15 Minutes

COACHES NOTES
Ideally, you are doing 5-8 reps each minute in order to hit the goal. If you are working with a heavier bag, reduce the reps to 50 so you can stay within the goal time of 10-15 minutes. Just because you don't have to start with the hop overs, doesn't mean you should try to bank up as many bear complex reps as possible. You will pay for it later if you do!

SANDBAG BEAR COMPLEX
The weight you choose should allow you to be CAPABLE of doing all reps of the Bear Complex unbroken. Doesn't mean you have to - just means you could if you wanted to.

For those complexes. You have a few options:
- Squat Clean Thruster
- Back Rack Thruster

OR

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

OR some combination of the two.

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, 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!

SANDBAG HOP OVERS
Stand next to your bag and hop laterally over the narrow side. You may also do a lateral shuffle. Think fast toe taps on the bag as you step laterally on and over to the other side.
