There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

Explosive Sandbag Training

Basement explosive strength training with my old friend Larry Storch. 80lbs for all exercises:

  • Sandbag power clean - 4 x 5 
  • 4 x Circuit A
    • Sandbag push press x 5
    • Sandbag jump squat x 5
  • 4 x Circuit B
    • Sandbag explosive floor press x 5
    • Plyometric pullups x 5
  • Sandbag shouldering - 3 x 10/side

Minimal rest (45-60 sec between exercises). Didn’t feel too much fatigue or sweat until the high-rep shouldering for a finisher. Not sure if this is the best method for speed strength/explosiveness, but I thought the push press/jump squat combo was nice.
