SANDBAG | WEEK 38 | 09/12/2021
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.

COACHES NOTES
This is definitely a longer workout today and it will be a grind. Rounds should stay in the 6-8 minute range. Give yourself 2:00-2:30 for the Lungesters and 1:30-2:00 for the Sandbag Burpees. Definitely adjust the reps on the seated side to sides so they take about 1:00-1:30. If you are working with a heavier bag, consider adjusting the reps of each movement prior to the workout to stay within those goal windows. Test them all out in your warm up.
SANDBAG LUNGESTER
This is two front rack lunges plus one thruster. Make sure you take a long enough step that your front heel stays down when your back knee LIGHTLY touches the ground. Don't allow the forward knee to cave in. Keep the belly tight and chest up.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
2 Sandbag Step Ups + 1 Thruster
Adjust the reps to fit the movement goal window.
SANDBAG SEATED SIDE TO SIDE
Each time the bag goes across your body counts as a rep.
Sit on the ground next to your sandbag with a straight spine, legs extended out in front of you. Twist and grip whatever handle combination feels the best. Lift or drag the bag across your body over to the other side. That is one rep. Keep your chest up the whole time, try to avoid rounding the spine.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Adjust the reps to fit the movement time window.
Dumbbell/Plate Russian Twist
SANDBAG BURPEE
This is simply a burpee holding onto the sandbag. Get all the way to the ground, chest to the bag. Step or jump your feet back in, tighten the belly, drop your butt, lift your chest, and grab the handles. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug and pull/guide the bag all the way overhead.
