What do you guys think, still feeling excited about sandbags?! I realize I've probably said some of the same things many times at this point, but I just find this stuff so fun.

What would you like to see in the future, more sandbag stuff? Calisthenics? Bodybuilding? Let me know!

[dennismartin]

In a nutshell, something like a heavy sandbag workout is as old school as it gets. And tells your entire body to get ready!
Full body strength gains.

id add forwards and backwards sandbag dragging would be good. great leg volume and cardio. i went to failure on forward drags and it felt like my teeth were full of bees. that movement where you row a sandbag towards you with a rope are also great imo

[Redacted]

I love doing sandbag to shoulder - 50 meter walk, switch to other shoulder, another 50 meter walk. I just upped to a heavier sandbag yesterday.

[dave_stewart]

Great video as usual Cody! Ive said it before and I'll say it again, you are THE voice for sandbag training, there's no one else on YouTube putting this effort into explaining proper awkward object training, it's appreciated!

[josephdculp]

Nice! Being new to sandbag training I was quite suprised how much my upper back and biceps get sore from these movements. Seeing these guys move 350 lbs, woah

[ActualJesusChrist]

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.

We lift sandbags because tossing a sandbag is like tossing a person

[braedenmoses]

As an old gym rat since 13, I’m just rollin’ sandbags, mace/club, and straight bodyweight play…never felt better


Barbells gave me so many bad habits that didn’t translate to life

[moosevillestrong]

very well done video!! sandbags/stones work very well for their intended purposes, but do not and can not replace barbells! However, working sandbags in along with your barbell training can really help you create a more diverse strength base! appreciate the inclusion!

[robertfeiner]

Really inspiring to see your journey! Started using a DIY 100lb sand bag today. I’m 43 with a history of low back stuff so a modified carry stating from putting the sandbag on a chair and picking up from there really helped! Awesome material man. Keep it up!

[creativetraininghacks]

Awesome video! Thank you very much for including me! 😊

[HagalSkrymir]

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.

[cameronclare]

Mate, your channel is brilliant. Ive learned so much. I've stopped paying for gym membership because I get such wild strength gains just from doing cleans and squats with my 100KG sandbag, which I bought after watching your videos. I get the sense that it strengthens the stabiliser muscles, tendons and fascia a lot more than conventional barbell work. I find the increased complexity/awkwardness of these lifts quite grounding/meditational as well. Been combining it with plyometrics, functional barbell and kettlebell patterns, and weighted calisthenics.

[SolarStrength]

Great video! I've been trying to get the hang of pressing my 135lb bag and managed a few reps, and a few sandbags to the face!

[briancohen-doherty]

Been in/out of gyms, couple years mma. But I'm going to build a traveling gym with a sandbag a few kettlebells.

There's just something about picking up a heavy ass weight 👍

[Runner-Boy]

I have got my first sandbag im excited

[MrFrankvanderhorst]

Sandbag, KB and steelmace combined with animal crawling is pretty much all i do. And i love it. EMOM over the shoulder is one of my favorites at the moment. Never tried the sandbag press. Looks pretty cool. Will give it a go and work on it. 👍🏻

[crawfordov]

Really cool video again, Cody. Thanks for the feature. 🎒🙏👌
