25 Repetition Roulette Sandbag Workout

Zach and I built a couple of 80lb sandbags today, just like in the video from Mountain Athlete. I gave mine a baptismal name, Larry Storch, and then christened it with one of Ross Enamait’s workouts. 25 reps of the following:

  • Burpee with hands on the bag
  • Clean and press the bag overhead
  • Perform a lunge with each leg while holding the bag overhead

Total time: 10:57. Looking back at the instructions from Ross, I realized that I mistakenly left out the jump part of the burpee. It was still tough and made even tougher because the canvas bag ripped up my knuckles a little bit. As revenge, I ripped up the bag a little bit when I was storing it. Dammit. Thank god Zach’s a gifted seamstress and offered to patch it up.

Oh, I also practiced some sandbag get ups with Larry Storch afterwards and did 3 reps on each side. We’re gonna have lots of fun together, me and Larry Storch.
