I have recently incorporated sandbags into my training.  You know what?  I’m kicking myself in the rear for not using them sooner.  They are an awesome training tool.  You can use them anywhere.  Take one to the gym, your back yard, or a park and you can be sure you’ll get a kick ass workout.

I became familiar with sandbag training about a year ago.  But, like most folks I was stuck in the mindset that barbells and dumbells were all I needed.  While those still are my favorite training tools, I’ve learned that incorporating new ones can help you break through that training rut.

Sandbags can get you strong a hell too.  They require a different type of strength to lift. Don’t believe me?  Try overhead pressing a 70lb barbell then try the same movement using a 70lb sandbag and tell me which one was harder?  Pretty much any movement you do with a barbell or dumbbell you can do with a sandbag.

I’ve posted a video below of a couple of traditional lower body movements done with a sandbag.

Like I said, there are tons of different exercises you can do using a sandbag.  Drop me a comment and let me know other movements you’d like to see or tell me about your favorite sandbag exercise and or workouts.

I want to see at least 3 comments on this one guys.

Lets hear it!
