Wow, that band move is a genius creative training hack, if I've ever seen one! 👍 You shouldering the 300 from Ironmind sooner that the 275 from Cerberus is something I would even bet money on. I may be still a rookie, but that's something I've realized early on from my humble beginnings with a merely 100 lbs tumble dryer: girth makes adverse leverage, and leverage decides about the actual relative weight you have to lift. Also, you were right about shouldering my 100kg sandbag: It felt definitely easier and involved less focus and determination than shouldering Bruiser, my 90-something kg suitcase. So there ...
300 is inevitable no doubt!! Sandbags are the best. I recently got my friend into them. He doesn't really work out and doesn't connect with tradition "gym culture" so to speak. But he loved sandbag training! Hoping he sticks with it. Your channel has taught me a lot about this style of training so thanks!
that 250 moved so well!! don't think ive seen it move that fluidly! this band drill is interesting🤔 an assistance to your main lift✔curious to see what you find...
I think as any lift gets heavier the frequency of heavy days has to go down, so good move brah brah. The band idea is cool AF, be interesting to see where that takes you. I think finding movements that stimulate similar muscle and patterns on a secondary day is a real good way to mitigate recovery and hit the same shit but with different parameters that can continue to stimulate adaptation to the motor patterns ie how I’ll deadlift one day and do lots of explosive jumps and shit another. I’m not Jeffrey Nipples I don’t understand the science but this shit just adds up in my head lol. Anyway …. 300!!!!!! Yaaarrrrr
Haha yes definitely! I might have to work more with that as I get closer to the 300 to shoulder for sure. But actually sorry I only take advice from people with anatomy charts on their wall 😄
Great job 💪 250 lbs look much easier You should add some plyometrics before your shouldering for me it was a huge gamechanger. I feel much more warmed up for shouldering and I am more explosive when I am doing sandbag to shoulder. This is my full warm up before shouldering. First I like to warm up my quads that's why I always start with this exercise as first After this I am doing some plyometrics for vertical jump After this I am doing my main warm up Typically I am doing steel mace for shoulder and sandbag bear hug walk I start with light sandbag and each round I increase weight This warm up work really good for me so you can give a try maybe this will help you also 😁 After this warm up 250 lbs feel like nothing I have training vlog video on my channel as I prove 😁 Warm Up Patrick Step Up 2x20-30 per leg Pogo Hops 2x30 sek Squat Jump 2x3-5 sek Super Set 4 Rounds 1 MIN Rest Steel Mace 360 10/10 Sandbag Bear Hug Walk 30 sek
Just straight play sand! It likes to shift around so I do have to pack it down between every lift. I'm also only 5ft8 164ish so I make the sandbag look bigger by comparison haha
Very well! It's like Brian Alsruhe said, if you can pick up a 300lb sandbag, you can pick up a 300lb anything. Haha. I don't have too many opportunities to use that strength in daily life but I I can easily carry around my girlfriend at any given time so that's a plus 😄
@braedenmoses can def confirm that! I was still working at a dog kennel when I first started working with sandbags. There were kennels stacked on top of each other so I'd have to life 10 dogs up 4-5 times a day. Got way easier after sandbags!
Im new here and I have the simmilar opinion of exercising as you. I didnt see you doing knuckle pushups but i saw you do normal pushups. I just wanted to suggest to you to switch to knuckle pushups because biceps activation is doubled and forearms are more activated..
Only sandbags and calisthenics (plus some band stuff I'm experimenting with lately) for a while now, but I trained a good 7 years with barbells before I ever touched a sandbag
That 250 is so smooth dude. Ask mooseville strong about Cerebus 😆. Your core strength has increased so much over the last 2 years. That explosiveness can only translate to good. A tight core, and the pop in the upper body, shoulders/core, has changed the game for me. I need better leg strength still, I'm definitely improving. Jeff got me doing a lot of core work that changed everything for me. Anyway, here's a comment for the algorithm homie! 😆 💪🪨🪵👣🔥
Thanks man! Direct core work has been so helpful for sure. I'm glad the training with Jeff is going well, he's a smart dude! I've seen him own a cerberus bag haha, he is ridiculously strong with that stuff 😮
Congratulations man. You have made incredible progress!
Hey thank you!!

Thank you for the encouragement, making me think maybe I'm closer to that 300 than I thought!! Shouldering Brusier was such a crazy ft of strength 😮

Thanks! It feels like magic, from the lap it seems like it's gonna be just as hard to lift as ever, then it just makes its way up there somehow haha
Keep it up👍💪
Thank you!
Gave up on sandbags, started lifting the house ;)
Haha dang I need to step up my game, heavy house lifting is the new way forward

@@thestonecirclehaha fair enough, never trust a man who doesn’t have an anatomy chart handy.

"I was goin' to bed last night thinkin' about shouldering a sand bag, as I often do...."
😄
This really makes me want to get more serious about training.
I am taking this as a sign.
Thank you for this, brother.
Hahah 😁
Hey as you always say, we're all gonna make it!!
We’ve all been there with this that or the other involving training haha
@@StopTheDamnTape it's a good place to be haha
Wow, nice plyometric at the end. Zercher Squat jumps?
Yeah basically, with a little reverse added in to mimic the second part of shouldering a sandbag 🙂
Great job 💪
250 lbs look much easier
You should add some plyometrics before your shouldering for me it was a huge gamechanger.
I feel much more warmed up for shouldering and I am more explosive when I am doing sandbag to shoulder.
This is my full warm up before shouldering.
First I like to warm up my quads that's why I always start with this exercise as first
After this I am doing some plyometrics for vertical jump
After this I am doing my main warm up
Typically I am doing steel mace for shoulder and sandbag bear hug walk
I start with light sandbag and each round I increase weight
This warm up work really good for me so you can give a try maybe this will help you also 😁
After this warm up 250 lbs feel like nothing I have training vlog video on my channel as I prove 😁
Warm Up
Patrick Step Up 2x20-30 per leg
Pogo Hops 2x30 sek
Squat Jump 2x3-5 sek
Super Set 4 Rounds 1 MIN Rest
Steel Mace 360 10/10
Sandbag Bear Hug Walk 30 sek
Hey thank you!
What are you loading in your sandbags to make them so full and packed?
Just straight play sand! It likes to shift around so I do have to pack it down between every lift. I'm also only 5ft8 164ish so I make the sandbag look bigger by comparison haha
how do you find the sandbag transfers to everyday strength?
Very well! It's like Brian Alsruhe said, if you can pick up a 300lb sandbag, you can pick up a 300lb anything. Haha. I don't have too many opportunities to use that strength in daily life but I I can easily carry around my girlfriend at any given time so that's a plus 😄
yeah dude, picking up my 85lb dog moves like butter now even if he’s squirmy.
@braedenmoses can def confirm that! I was still working at a dog kennel when I first started working with sandbags. There were kennels stacked on top of each other so I'd have to life 10 dogs up 4-5 times a day. Got way easier after sandbags!
Your content is bad ass bro... keep it up 🔨🔨🫵🫵☝️☝️

Hey that's awesome, sandbags and calisthenics is the perfect combo. Knuckle pushups are awesome!
Friend, do you do all your workout with only sandbags or you lift dumbbells and other gym Weight lifting equipment's?.
Only sandbags and calisthenics (plus some band stuff I'm experimenting with lately) for a while now, but I trained a good 7 years with barbells before I ever touched a sandbag
The hips could be work with a kettlebell/dumbell swing
Hey for sure! I haven't been as much lately but I really like plate swings for building that power
@@thestonecircle thanks for the tips. I just start with the bodyweight circuits that you comment in other videos and maaan its amazing. So thanks

@thestonecircle he's mad as hell at em right now lol. Their belts
@unknownstrongman oh darn ill have to ask him haha
