Sandbag Training Complexes
Sandbags are a great tool to add some variety to your training routine. They offer unique loading patterns, a degree of instability and don’t have to be too heavy to offer a great loading stimulus.
To get more bang for your buck in your next workout, try adding some complexes to your sand bag work.
Here are a few exercises to try:
Forward Lunge to Chop
This is a challenging way to incorporate some rotational work into unilateral lower body training
SL RDL to Row
Light up your posterior chain and challenge your stability.
Reverse Lunge to Good Morning
Two great exercises. Why not put them together?
Side lunge to front raise
Really challenge your trunk strength here with the forward raise in an isometric lateral lunge hold.
RDL to Squat
A great way to progress to olympic lifting.
Get your hands on one of these and try them out!
