r/sandbagtraining

Holy crap, I’ve not gotten soreness in new places in ages. It’s obvious I needed sandbags in my life long ago. I’m not even lifting that heavy but the movements, the dead weight not on a bar is a whole new level that I’m glad I found. All I’ve done is carries and throws over the shoulder and pick ups and wow, back, shoulders, glutes, arms, shoulders all have some new doms.i assume this is normal but I’m gonna make sure I recover so twice a week to start is the plan. Sound good as a newbie to sandbags?

does anyone walk stairs with their sandbag, or do their carries on a hill? I keep my 175lb bag in the basement and find I feel glute activation most on days where I walk up the stairs to the backyard. Got me thinking my next bag should be 200lbs with handles so I can take it to the hiking trails by me and just walk the hills for my leg day.

Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to sandbag training, and have a question about what everyone recommends for my next bag purchase.

I currently have a 50, 75 and 100 lb. bag. My internal debate is if my next bag should be a 125 or 150 lb bag. My dilemma is that i am limited on space, and don't want to have sandbags throughout my home gym. however I don't want to get something so heavy I won't be able to use it.

Do you think jumping from 100 to 150 lbs is too much of a jump? I'm 33 y/o M, bodyweight is about 165. Long term goal is to be able to use a 200 lb sandbag for my heavy lifts.

Possibly asked before, but could not find.

I travel on 30-day rotations. I was looking for a sand kettlebell as KB alternative. What is y'all's experience with Rogue or GoRuck kettlebells as they travel light? How do you guys stay yoked while traveling?

(Singles with 60s rest, not consecutive reps!)

Winter is about to start here, which means back to heavy lifting.

Was surprised how easily these went up!

I've set a goal of 250x15 by the end of winter and believe I will get there.

Accessory movements I've been working hard and think have been making a difference:

- Weighted back extensions

- Double kettlebell snatch

- Sandbag row with pause at chest
