Introduction
It’s been a minute since we had a sandbag focused beatdown. Easiest way to fix that is to Q one. So I wrote my pre-blast and loaded up my trunk with sandbags
Warm-O-Rama
Got the disclimer, credo, and misson statement wrapped while shffling our feet.
Loosening up our shoulders with some arm circles and michael phelps. Getting our core limber with some Imperial walkers and piano man got us ready to jump right into the fun.
The Thang
Thang 1 – Sandbag Complex – sets of 10 deadlift to cleans to squats to OHP. No stopping inbetween. Then repeat at a faster pace. Breaking down the individual movements for properly lifting a sandbag from the ground to overhead.
Thang 2 – One PAX tossing a sandbag either forward or backward overhead down the parking lot while their parner did a bodyweight exercise. Three tosses then run and switch. We made it down and back twice. (with 60lb sandbags). Exercises were Burpees-Squats-Lunges-Back Lunges-Mike Tyson Pushups-Peter Parker Merkins-SSH-Big Boys-repeat from top
Circle of Trust
Listen to one another there are various viewpoints. Not everything is right or wrong or black and white. Just because we dont agree or disagree 100% doesn’t mean we are on opposite sides there is nuance and gradients to all issues that need to be weighed.
Naked Man Moleskin
Thank you to Happy Camper for taking us out in prayer. Thanks to Sparkler for setting the high standard for the Grove. And nice job to Pull Up who didn’t realize until the workout was over that he was tossing a 60LB sandbag.
