Sandbag training is a great way to develop grip, core strength and midline stability as well as good old fashioned horse power, building the "hurting bombs". I put the following bag exercises in a format to challenge the metabolic conditioning system too.

5 Rounds of the following circuit for time:


  • 8 reps each discipline per round.

  • Deadlifts

  • Romanian Deadlift

  • Bent Over Row

  • Shouldered Squats

  • Overhead Press

  • Zercher Squats

This is a challenging way to train whilst breaking the monotony of the big box gym routines and attitudes there. For more info contact me direct or my good friend Barry Gibson over at Grapplefit(link at bottom) who is a real sandbag afficionado!


Here is a BWF special challenge for the brave! Try taking 100lbs sandbag into Fitness First, JJB, Esporta etc start lifting, throwing and pressing it and see what happens!!
