Thanks for sharing

i could squat 405 and deadlift 500 before I started martial arts. it didn't help very much

Bro which exercise contributed most into building your upper traps? They look nice combined with a thick neck

Hey man. Love all your stuff thus far! Can you list the sweet music you use?

🎉🎉🎉

This is why Farmers are strong.

Great point, Paralysis by analysis!

So you're saying I won't learn to play the guitar as long as it sits in the corner collecting dust?

It's a very simple question. Are you a boxer who lifts? Or are you a lifter that boxes occasionally? Figure that out first and then decide which one is your sport and which one supplements your sport specific training.

push work in Nature!!!

5:29 I needed to hear this so bad, I ain't know if I was training wrong but I guess I'll just keep going and have faith 😭

So if you like lifting weights, go lift weights. If you want to box, go boxing. Get a feel for your body and arrange your training routine in such a way that both feels good. I'm in the same spot, marrying kickboxing with lifting big weights. My squats took a slight hit, but I have much better results for upper body lifts like benching.

Universally applicable - great video. I just started med school and my methods of studying are mediocre to say the least. The way I'm going feels like I'll never make it through all the material. But as you say, I'm better off spending a few hours in the library every day and eventually, I'll get better. PS - any chance of a Q&A video on increasing sandbag weights in relation to height and weight? Cheers dude.

I totally agree! It's definitely important to just get going with what you eventually want to do instead of undertaking more and more "preparations". That being said, I know from my own experience that it really does feel good to be strong and functional when starting martial arts training.

In my case i want to do boxing, greco-roman wrestling and build functional strength i do try to organize a time table for it but to just think of doing all of that makes me tired.

Done and done. Succinct and well said. Cant agree more. Want to get better at something do it, suck at it, keep doing it until you don’t. 😊

out of 3,000 languages, he chose to speak facts

You are a man of action

Really well spoken. I've been slacking in some areas but i want to incorporate everything. It just takes 7-8 hrs a day to do it so it's clearly hard to do everything everyday but the results always show when you do. Btw sandbag is crazy good. I see why you love it. Have you gotten bullworker yet? Im doing both now and feel a lot stronger

Goddamn that was solid bro, well spoken and great message. We’ve all been guilty of this shit many times in life… the cold hard truth is nothing ever lines up, there’s never a right time for anything, so just fukn do it!!

Well said bro

💯

My philosophy is calisthenics to build muscle, weights and sandbags to strengthen the muscle. Makes a good physique and a strong functional body.

I've been homeless numerous times and bc of that even after having my own place i still make it a habit to carry my assault bag around, which is around 50 to 70lbs, when i go on walks, which is often 5 - 7 miles

❤😂🎉😢😮

You are amazing! 😊

Is walking to school with 10 kg bag counts

Nice detailed video on pike pushups ! 💪💪

Upload workouts as shorts help grow the channel without much extra work

2 hours 5 days a week.

Callisthenics are primordial exercises. I have only been training in callisthenics for around 6 months the last 4 seriously (2-5x a week). My strength and endurance as accelerated exponentially from collapsing after 3 press ups and taking over an hour to rep 100, I am now in sets of 10-30, managing 100 in less than 15 mins. I know this is a small deal to most but I am 55 and always struggled with correct form press-ups all my life. I’m continuing on my journey with the press-ups. The next goal is a free handstand, then pull ups thereafter… I have never been so excited about training- I used to be an elite rower in my youth but never saw the gains then, that I have now!

Love this stuff man, I've acquired (4) sandbags over my journey. Oddly though do you do any type of cardio in the week? I personally love trail running, but don't want to overdo the running in favor of the lifting. I was just curious as to what your cardio regimen (if any) looks like. Keep up the lifting man

Sneaking hundreds of push up is not really effective too I would believe. Cut it in half and put squats into the program. Simple that's it. Adding weight into it definitely cuts time later on

Really cool video! Short or micro workouts,work well alongside heavy,intense sandbag workouts. Bodyweight is king for shorter warmups for sure! What are your views on rucking? In regards to active recovery,mental health ( being outside) etc? Would be interested in your opinion.

Very important advice! 👍

Hi! New viewer! You might be a good person to ask this: I'm currently training at a gym for the very first time (im 27) to get enough strength and health to carry a ~100lb food barrel backpack by about this time next year. Or as close as I can possibly get to that, since I'm 130lb. I know I want to start hiking at least once a month, ideally twice, but should I wear a regular backpack with gradually increasing dumbells in it, or do you think it'd be better to borrow the food barrel I would eventually be using and load that with sand or dumbells or something over time? Surely the size of the barrel would make a difference in what muscles I'd be training, right? Or should I not worry that much and just start rucking/hiking? Thank you!

Hey Cody! Got your book in the mail. Really enjoying it.

did doing zercher squats grow your legs a lot?

Doing the sandbag warm up, and sandbag program.. gets me around 2hrs in a sandbag session. Even mobility, etc days takes time. I do 2hrs/day with a rest day every 4th day. It's hard to find the time tbh.

10 to 15 minutes.

Being 44, I do 3 days a week of heavy sandbags mixed with bodyweight/weighted calisthenics for about 45-60 min depending on energy for that day. Routine is pull, push, legs and then maybe a mile run in between one of the days and 10 min of heavy bag the other day between the routine for cardio. Learned rest/recovery is important as I’m aging, a hard thing to accept but feel better tendon and CNS-wise.

Another cool method is “one lift a day” … I used to do it based on 5 days, but it could easily be expanded to 7. You just work up to one or two hard sets of your exercise for the day, say deadlift or chin up as an example, then you’re done! Even with warming up it’s impossible to drag it out. It actually works really well and allows all your mental energy to go towards the one move of the day

Do you think this could work with one arm pull ups or is it overkill?

calisthenics are the goat for quick workouts. yeah weighted calisthenics are cool but taking my plates out and warming up with ramping weight is annoying

"set-up" considerations are a key insight, especially if training is done at home .... depending on the movements planned to train, this can turn a micro workout, into a time investment one might not be able to afford ✔

As much as i love to be quick with workouts, what i enjoy with sandbags is that effort and strength i feel from the sandbag carries across the longer rests. When i lifted barbells, i really didn't rest much because i was always just incrementally increasing weight at a much lower than my max. But if i don't rest enough with a sandbag, i'm not going to get as clean lifts. That "holy shit i'm strong as hell" could carry me miles

I have 3.25 hours a week with my three day a week Fullbody setup. Adding my sandbag sessions and if I get my runs in for the week, it’ll come out to about 5 hours a week. If I get called in for a manual labor job I skip the sandbag stuff and work for two hours shoveling dirt and compost.

Sometimes those 15 to 20 minute workouts end up being the best ones! Probably because you know you have limited time so you push the intensity 💪🏽

🎉🎉🎉

Well said, sir. I also warm up a lot for lower body.
