      Keep these videos going with the strongman sandbags
      There is too much on barbell, kb, mace, calisthenics, bodybuilding, powerlifting, power building, etc.
      You and alshrue are the two biggest names that promote the sandbag, but I know alshrue promotes other types of training styles.

    I used to have a sandbag (2 bags of gravel duct taped together (about 100 ppounds)) where i used to live. I had only ever watched 1 youtube video on it and i just wanted something to do at home that wasnt bands. It always felt great, it was rediculously hard and I loved that. I managed to overhead press it at one point. I remember doing carries and floor to shoulder all the time wondering if i was even doing anything worthwhile. I didnt have the confidence to decide it was good for me. I just liked doing something that was hard.

I’ve found that when I’m in the position at 3:30, my quads AND hams and glutes are on fire 🔥 trying to incorporate more floor pressing, s-grip lifts (hits the obliques a lot) and high pulls to hit the upper back and traps to fill in the gaps.

    I find sandbag training highly interesting and very functional for real life applications, making these easier.
    I do like many other training methods as well and like to combine them or switch between them, challenging the body in different ways.
    Like calisthenics, gymnastic training, sprinting, animal walk, indian club, steelmace training, isometrics, running in general, especially in wild nature.
    All of them, including sandbag training, are also fun and at the end, relaxing to me. Good times.

Currently I shoulder my 200 Lbs bag 6 reps on left and 6 reps on right shoulder. It takes a while because I need some rest between lifts as well, its a brutal session for me. Is this a decent amount of reps?

    hi, i'm interested in training specifically towards improving my performance in the bedroom, and sandbag exercises seem like they would be more applicable compared to barbell/machine training. can you speak to this? if this is an inappropriate topic then no worries

    • @thestonecircle
      @thestonecircle  5 месяцев назад +4

      Hey that's actually a great question. In terms of pure athleticism I think sandbags are much more effective than barbells or machines. The main thing I would say is to make sure you're getting stronger on a heavy squat, and a heavy hinge. Barbell squats and deadlifts, or sandbag stuff should both work well for that. I think at the base level they would both (sandbags or barbells) probably work in a similar way for that, but I can think of 2 ways sandbags might be better.
      1. Sandbags seem to gas you out a lot quicker, and cardio is probably more important than pure strength at a certain point
      2. Sandbags don't take it out of you in the same way barbells do. You can push to your limits and feel recovered in a day or 2 with sandbags once you adapt. Whereas with barbells it can cut a lot further into recovery and you might not be recovered for longer. Part of this is because you lift so much more weight with barbells. I think this would matter because it doesn't matter how much better you get, if you're always feeling drained from the Barbell training it won't matter anyway.
      Just a few things I could think of, I hope that helps!
