Sandbag Loads are a brutal but rewarding way to develop power and grit. The awkward shape forces your stabilizers to work overtime, making it one of the most functional strength movements. FitnessTracker recommends these for advanced users seeking serious full-body strength.
Instructions
- Position several sandbags on the ground, spaced from a raised loading platform.
- Approach the first bag and wrap your arms around it tightly.
- Lift by driving through the hips and legs, pulling the bag high onto your torso.
- Carry the sandbag to the platform and use your legs to lift it up and place it securely.
- Return to the start and repeat with remaining bags or for multiple rounds.
