I’m a huge advocate for barefoot! For many reasons! 💪🏻

@@SandbagMisfit94 is it 10xs better imo but I'm scared of smashing my damn foot with a weight lol

@ there’s a lot of risks with it lol I do wear shoes where and when it’s necessary. And my whole thing about dropping a weight on your foot is that I don’t think a shoe will protect it that much, it’s still gonna hurt!

Thank you sir! Pressing is something I’ve never been that good at compared to other things like deadlift, squats and cleans. That pause is the X factor in the rows for sure!

Yeah rings are savage! That’s something I’ve considered learning in the future! Slow controlled tension with low reps is what I’ve found more effective with pushups, dips and pull-ups rather than going for high reps. But then again it’ll help increase your ability to do more reps over time 👍🏻

​@@SandbagMisfit94i spent about three years doing nearly daily burpees, probably averaged 300 pushups a day. Personally now, i don't think thats healthy for balance, i did try and do a lot of rows and pull-ups too, but still, it's hard on the elbows and shoulders. I agree slower is kinder to joints especially. Rings are self limiting like that, and the rotation keeps joints happy

@ joint pain was what I noticed when doing high volume calisthenics. Banging exercises out is hard on the joints because your muscles don’t have time to engage

Exactly! I believe what you do with the rest of your time outside of working out can maximize your results, specifically how you recover

Thanks man! It helps tremendously!

Thank you! It was brutal 💪🏻🔥

I’m starting to add some more band work, banded and bodyweight isometrics into the workouts 👊🏻

Haha early morning 4am training in the dark. I gotta be at work at 6am 🤣 damn right 💪🏻

It is cumbersome and bigger than me size and weight wise 🤣

@ how much is that? Looks massive, I believe those rogue ones are as wide as Cerberus bags.

@ it’s a rogue 250 but I have it filled to 200. It’s a beast when full

@@SandbagMisfit94 looks like it! How many sandbags do you have?

@ I have 3. One strongman bag and 2 long handled bags rated for 80lbs and 160lbs but I can make them weigh more

Thank you! 💪🏻

Thanks! Zercher and bear hug are my favorites 💪🏻

@SandbagMisfit94 Smashing channel, bro, for a newbie like myself to sandbag training, your channel has everything explained clearly and very well 💪🏻

@ I appreciate that! It’s more of sandbag based training from a functional fitness athlete standpoint rather than the bodybuilding and hypertrophy aspect of it!

I’m here to help newbies to sandbags in their journey by showing mine!

@SandbagMisfit94 💯 bro you're doing a great job.

That’s the only way to go 🔥

Thank you sir! I’m a huge Metallica fan! Seen them twice in concert (with my mom) 🤣 I like just letting an album play and getting to work in the garage 💪🏻 I subbed as well 👊🏻

@SandbagMisfit94 hell yes! 🤘🏽 Never saw them, but had their first 5 albums and blasted that shit regularly!

@@Sheikbaby hell yeah! Same!🤘🏻

Especially unilaterally! It’s great for slight imbalances from injuries as well! That’s what’s helped me the most with my slight imbalance!

If you were to ask me what I train for, that would be a huge reason 💪🏻

@ That’s a great reason! You never know when you might find yourself in that situation.

Especially as a dad and husband!

@@SandbagMisfit94 exactly! My goal is to lift both my wife and kid as long as I can, though kids grow so fast these days I might’ve a hard time keeping up. 😅

Call it progressive overload 🤣

Hey! You’re welcome 👍🏻 but maybe in the sense that I advocate for it and I’m recommending that its worth putting in your routine if you’re not using it already 💪🏻 I’m reloading this into a long form today, it wasn’t meant to be a short 🤦‍♂️

Oh, great. Thanks, I'll try to watch it.

RUclips has been messing with me 🤣

Heck yeah! 👊🏻

Are you an avid Rucker? 💪🏻

@@SandbagMisfit94 Only to de-stress but pretty often. I go from 10kg to 15kg on my hiking backpack

Same! Often I use it as just simple movement throughout the day and sometimes incorporating it into my daily life. Like when I go to work and there’s stairs, I’ll throw it on and take the stairs. 🔥 I don’t have time to do long distance all the time. I believe incorporating it into daily life and steady movement throughout the day is much more beneficial than just working out for an hour then being sedentary for the rest of the day. For both your physical and mental health 💪🏻

In my experience, a strong core, hip mobility, flexibility (stretch the hamstrings). The heavy sandbags build some substantial core strength but an extra I’d recommend are ab wheel rollout. I train in the morning and usually do active warmups. I stretch and do mobility in the evenings and more of it depending on how I feel. Thats what I do outside of workouts Proper lifting technique as well. When lifting the sandbag, put the engagement on your legs and upper back and you won’t have any problems.

Thank you!

Thank you, that’s a good idea. I’ve been tinkering with isometric tension for a few weeks.

That’s a great point! I have definitely noticed being less injury prone since I’ve been lifting sandbags

Thanks man! Thanks for the inspiration!

Well that’s a big part of strength whether we think so or not!

Good idea!

Absolutely! I actually have a ruck and have used it like that before I made upgrades in weight with the sandbags. It will definitely be effective if you’re training with a lighter bag 💪🏻

Gotta be at work at 6am. I’d rather do a 5:30 or later. I go to bed early, I’m a huge advocate for quality sleep and enough sleep. It does wonders!

Heck yeah that brutal rep scheme is one of my favorites! So that’s based off a workout challenge from CrossFit that I like to do every year to beat my previous time the year before. I spent 8 weeks prepping for that and after I did that (in may) I spent 12 weeks running that rep scheme with pushups, pull-ups, squats. And chin ups, dips, squats. It drastically improved my endurance and ability to do more reps unbroken on all the exercises. Since September I’ve been more nuanced in being more strength progressive with calisthenics. Rather than excessive reps for time, it’s been more time under tension, weighted and harder variations like fist pushups, dive bomber pushups and slower weighted pull-ups.

Yeah the Murph is pretty challenging, its so much in such a short time..I have never done it but saw a vlog of someone doing it. For general strength using bodyweight, do you have any thoughts on using modified leverages like assisted one arm pushups/ assisted one arm pullups or are weighted movements better if the goal is to just build strength and not the partial/one limb skills

@@saiketbiswas8444 one arm assisted exercises are good for addressing imbalances. I use weights for unilateral work usually. I have a slight imbalance where my right side is bigger than the left. Mainly because I’m right handed and my left side has taken several injuries throughout my life. The focus for building strength with calisthenics should be tension. Slow, controlled reps. Rather than focusing on quantity of reps. I think weighted movements are much better for building strength simply because of the added stimulus that makes the exercises harder

Glad you think so!

Thank you very much! That’s what it’s all about. Inspiring and helping people better themselves with sandbag training. Best of luck when you start your sandbag journey! Keep putting the work in day in day out 💪🏻

It’s like the concept of “forever heavy”. Consistent practice helps with becoming capable of lifting it. You’re right, no amount of accessory work will get it to your shoulder. It takes doing it to become better at it with lifting a sandbag

It’s all based around shouldering, cleaning and carrying the sandbag. Kettlebell work as well like cleans, snatches. The shouldering is a work in progress though right now

Exactly!

Lol I’ll do some research and learn how to create cartilage of steel. I was really talking about the mental reward in this one!

That was back when I was first getting the feel for it 4 months ago. I keep it close to my body now. Are firmer soled shoes better on the feet? I’ve always gone barefoot or worn running shoes when lifting. Never tried the firmer soled shoes though!

👍🏻 I used to struggle with starting and stopping, working out on and off until I figured out the mindset side of it of how to grind alone 💪🏻

lol I get labeled that too. The government’s “nutrition” guidelines in the fattest, sickest country in the world with a billion dollar pharmaceutical industry. Might be something to that. I’ll just keep eating my red meat, eggs and dairy and feeling superhuman. The foods they say are going to kill me 🤣

Absolutely when it comes to large muscle groups like your whole posterior chain, core and shoulders with press work but I would also fill the gaps with isolation and unilateral work like arms, single arm back exercises, shoulder accessory work like lateral raises etc.

I don’t have very good muscle building genetics so I try to work in the isolation and accessory work as much as I can for underdeveloped areas like my arms, traps and shoulders!

@@SandbagMisfit94 you do bro and thanks👍👍, this helped me

Anytime! Something I’ve learned through the years is to focus on what you can control and to stop worrying about things you can’t do anything about. You can always control whether you train or not and what you put in your body. So I focus on that entirely. I used to compare myself to and want bodies like other people but that steals the joy out of the pursuit and doesn’t benefit anything!

@@SandbagMisfit94 comparison is the thief of joy

The confidence that comes from doing hard things on a daily basis is unmatched. It carries over to every aspect of life. 💪🏻

@SandbagMisfit94 truth

When I first got this sandbag and made a video of picking it up, I kept hearing people tell me that I was going to hurt my lower back. When in reality it’s the way your body was designed to lift 💪🏻

@SandbagMisfit94 amen

Back when I did CrossFit, the box I was at had a #100 and #150 heavy ball and my favorite was tossing it over the shoulder. Functional lifting stuff like that, stuff that involves obstacles and endurance is my sport 💪🏻

@SandbagMisfit94 same brother

Simple advice to help get you fired up! This applies to any aspect of life 🔥

Metal is always the proper choice in music for workouts 🤘🏻

Metal is always the proper choice in music with workouts 🤘🏻

@SandbagMisfit94 Roger that.

lol I can do a video on a 3 day sandbag split. With push-ups and pull-ups. I’m always tweaking and improving it though 💪🏻

I’ll have a 3 day split video on either Thursday or Friday! 💪🏻

Scratch that, If you haven’t seen it already, I have a part one for that video which is The Sandbag Workout Split For Strength Part 1 ruclips.net/video/3GadTbWHR8Q/видео.html 3 day a week sandbag and calisthenics based workout routine!

Daytona Beach. But I work around fort pierce at the moment. I do a lot of my videos in port St Lucie though. How about you?

@SandbagMisfit94 I'm in Coral Springs. 15 minutes NW of Fort Lauderdale.

Very nice! They have some nice parks to train in down there

It’s in the works!

@@SandbagMisfit94I will be there when it drops.

Awesome! I’ve been tinkering with this split I’ve been doing for a few months and I want to make sure it’s tested and works before it drops 💪🏻

It is a rogue 250lb strongman funnel. I have it completely filled now but at the time I made this video I had it at 230. Next week I’m going to make a video about maxing out the weight of it and the progress so far!

💪🏻🔥🤘🏻

I always like finding new pantera songs to add to my workout playlists 🤘🏻
