There is something about sandbags that just builds what I call “brutal strength.” Nothing else seems to do the same thing to you as what a heavy sand bag does. Be strong and courageous!
@@bobdole7292 that’s pretty respectable, really. Once your bags are heavier than your body weight, I personally think you’re handling very a reasonable amount of weight.
@@ClassicPhysique27 Lol ! would agree there...I weigh 75 kg and the max (max ! ) sandbag I can lift & carry is 40 kg . Love the workout though :-) The hardest part is the lifting off the ground.
I was just telling my son that if I could only do one exercise it would be a heavy sandbag OHP from the floor… requires a DL, a squat, a clean and a push press in one lift.
Thank you Brian for everything you have done for us. No matter when I lift, I always go back to one of your do and do nots, Clarence vidéos, Jeff nippards, omar's or Alan's. You guys help us newbie or experienced lifters more than you can imagine. I am definetly getting a shirt and a program just to support you and learn from you. For now I will pursue your advices here and better myself. Good luck on your recovery and health, Lots of love from France brother.
I haven’t been on utube last couple years, but glad to see your looking and sounding healthy again brother! Over 200,000 now wow awesome man! Btw all of those looked brutal!
Thanks man! There’s an old video on here something like ‘mark felix outdoor strength training’ where he does loads of old workouts….. one he has a heavy sandbag , lies next to it….. then grabs it rolls it over his body till it’s on the ground the other side of his body(all while lying down)…..then do these like 10x as fast as possible…. Great for fighters and core!!! Just thought I’d share as I never saw it before!! But appreciate everything Brian, keep it up brother!!
Great video, thank you Brian! My friend's lightest sandbag is slightly more than my bodyweight. Been using it for your powerbuilder program, and my loading has gone up using the heavier bag. Just gotta stick with it week over week so it continues to improve!
This looks amazing and completely awful at the same time. I just started into strongman and bought a 125-200 lb sandbag to help simulate carry and log press. I want to incorporate more conditioning work and this looks like it will definitely help! Thank you again.
Man! I'm building a home gym and was searching for ways to use sandbags and boom! Like this channel was not a goldmine already! Thanks for all this amazing content Brian!
Man I’m just glad to see you doing better and got your medical issues figured out. Heard the news yesterday about John Meadows and he was so wholesome and reminded me of you and how far you have come on your journey and it continues to inspire me to do better!
I love these videos! I have a Home Depot bucket for rice and now can have a bag for sand. Great supplemental training from them at a fraction of the cost of my weight lifting equipment.
Still on the look out for a gym that has actual sandbags, but I really like using the heavy bag to mimic the same hip pop I would use on a wrestling mat return. Those work great as an explosive primer before my deadlifts
You'd love my gym; has Rogue sandbags (and others) up to 300lbs. Also has a Yoke, car deadlift, stones up to 200lbs, a Viking Press platform, Farmer's implements, kettlebells, 2 deadlift stations, a rock climbing wall, rope, 4 massive tires + sledgehammers AND your run-of-the-mill isolation machines. Its in Eastern Ontario, Canada. "Quest PTS" come on by. (Been going there 2+ years despite 4 other gyms in town)
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial if anyone would know, it'd be you. I'll keep looking, in the meantime I'm trying to get my college coaches to see the value of strongman training
Just purchased a Titan 100 and 150 pounder. Humbling is definitely the word. Now i am not a person genetically inclined to strength training…built for distance stuff. At 5’10, 160 and built skinny, i do middlin but always try to hit it “harder than last time” as Greg Doucette puts it. The bags definitely Make that happen.
I appreciate this video, it’s very informative and helps a lot. And I like how you said there’s a difference between gym lifts and the sandbag .. I hate working out inside, so the sandbag has been something I look forward to outside. Thanks again mate.
I'm making a strongman gym for my grp and these are the first things I'm getting. Always awesome knowledge. Ive done a lot of programs but I always come back to Neversate!
Btw, dunno if anyone doesn't know this but if you can find a programmable tabata timer it can be really good for emoms. My visions trash so not having to look at things is helpful
Did sandbag carries at the end of my deadlift workout this morning. Have to make a new 200lbs bag. It exploded when I dropped it at the end of my third set.
This is truly bad ass. Thank u and your awesome video. New to channel. I'm 59yr old and want to get stronger And back into shape. Back to jiu-jitsu training. But i want and need to be stronger. Please help. Also brother a safe way to cut weight. You know you've done the too.😂😂 need ya man. Thank brother.
Hey bro I love this type of training i train as well as a trainer an I want to add this type of training to my clients shud do this as a finisher after my workout or just as a stand alone workout also where can I get some sandbags at for reasonable price love u bro u living ur dream an thats my goal to do wt u do its a slow start I hv a few clients but u hv motivated me dreams can happen
So I have completely changed my workout routine from SBD in a gym to pretty much training with sandbags at home. the question is, do you think someone can get really strong and big with just a heavy ass sandbag? the reason i'm doing this is because im trying to workout in mostly the transverse plane. the gym doesn't really promote that plane of motion. So do you think by me dropping the barbell and picking up the sandbag, will I lose my strength and gains?
I've worked out on traditional heavy bags ruclips.net/user/postUgkxp9-sf95nqfjey-uyzxUzQ7m9MXRPK1BE a spherical stuffed "wrecking ball" bag, and now this thing. What I like about it is that it has the heft to stay largely in place so I'm not chasing it around. It's tall enough to allow for headshots and body shots, but it's short enough to give an uppercut somewhere to land. I'm very happy so far. Filling it was a bit of a cluster. For top-offs, I've learned that you can screw the supplied nozzle onto any basic plastic water bottle. I can't speak to durability as I've only had it a week.
Man I just bought a 175 lbs sandbag yesterday after watching your other sandbag video and I'm so excited to try all of these workouts. You are an awesome man Brian. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference you have made in my life. Thank you so much !!
Have been doing 1 of your programs for the last couple off weeks with some friends, now i know why you are sweeting so much haha. you are an absolute beast brain. keep it up
Perfect timing! I've been meaning to up my sandbag work at home. We just got a 265 lbs sandbag at work and we got a little friendly competition for the first person to get it up and over their shoulder. So far I'm the only one to lift it up all the way, just couldn't get it over my shoulder yet. 2 other people can only lap it.
Just getting into sandbag training. Cant say as I will be using any of these workouts specifically, but you have given me some really goo ideas, thank you. I am starting light, I will have a 25lb and 50lb bag, just wailing on them to get delivered.
Brian, I've been using bags filled with stuff a lot since the pandemic began. I find that unilateral work with heavy bags fills in a lot of the gap left without access to a barbell. Keep up the good work.
As a beginner to sandbag lifting, what # bag should I start with? I have a Cerberus 132# bag in my Amazon shopping cart right now lol. I'm 5'11, 56 y/o, 260 (wanting to burn fat) I do full body workouts at the gym 2-3x per week, ruck 3-4x per week for cardio. The gym is getting a little boring, I'm trying to get my home gym together, and would like to start doing more strongman-type workouts.
I've literally done all of those things as part of mma conditioning, but not with sandbags. We used heavy bags, which were not even remotely as heavy as the sand bags you suggested. And man we were fried. Imma get myself some sandbags and then I'm going to outwork probably david goggins. Or I die... We will see 😂
When I own my own garage, Ima pick up a sandbag. Then Ima try and get a tire plus a sledgehammer. THEN a barbell and some weights. All thanks to Brian who keeps me pushing; glad to have these brutal moves man thank you
Wow perfect timing, my brother and I just bought a couple sandbags so we can workout together on Saturdays, and I was trying to put together a few workout ideas! Thanks Brian!
I'm 260 lb and 6'3. I bought a 150 lb this year. I get a good workout with it, but it is getting a little easy. I'm on a budget, and live in the middle of nowhere, so I use stones and logs too. Great video man. Cant wait to do this.
Man i just made me a sand bag full of small rocks very cheap, it's around half my bodyweight which actually ended up being very light, the sand bag get up is insaaanely hard I've no idea how u do it

What is considered strong for sandbag carries ?

Bro Juan is crazy man
Yep, adding this to my cardio/active rest days.
What do you use for liners if you're making your own sandbags? Regular bin liners or something else?
Uphill sandbag carries with 80% BW in sand at a ~40 degree incline will make you strong.
100%
These are badass would like more please

If you want to save money on shipping, then, yeah, I would buy three at one time
Hi what brand / size are your knee sleeves?
Thanks
What weight should i start with the sandbag if i can only afford one at the moment ? , i bench 80kgs for reps , 120 squat ( i know its small )
If you're doing these workouts with a bodyweight sandbag you are strong as FARK!!
For the tosses over the shoulder : should you alternate which shoulder you throw over ?
Can a really fat out of shape person do this? Idk if I can lift 250

Theres no way Im doing these with a sand bag close to my bodyweight. Thats amazing if you can
Can I do it with a heavy ball?
Your brother is named John? Is it Cena?
I wish I had his paycheck!
I'm tired just looking at the bag
Completely not related to this video, but how is your health doing? You're looking like you're back to monster mode.
Dont forhet the large bucket for throwing up!

I haven’t even bought a sand bag and I’m tired 😭
300+ LB sandbag over my shoulder 🤣

Can I do this with just a 30kg makeshift sandbag? I know it's light and it's pathetic
Absolutely not light or pathetic nobody will start with body weight you have to start somewhere
His bodyweight recommendation is for strongmen competitors and power lifters. 30kg is a good start!
If you've never had one before, wait till you start trying to throw it....
i started with 36kg and can now lift 91kg after a year training. Just start and progress by adding more sand when you need to up it.
