Tou Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 deadlifts, power cleans, clean and jerk, OHP, carrying, farmer's walk, curls, snatches, sit ups, rows, squat, holds for time, throwing, ... The list could go on and on. This summer, I will work exclusively on sandbags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdawg Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 tou's right, the list is endless. anything you do with a sandbag is gonna work your grip pretty hard. tou, i'm planning on only workin with the bags this summer too. we'll have to compare and the end of the summer and see what kind of progress each other made.

Guest Askalas Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I tried a sandbag the other day and got a great workout. I did front squats, deadlifts (grabbing a rolled up portion of the bag), sholder throws, and bearhug walks. Once I get stronger I will definately add OHP, clean and jerk, that sort of thing. With these your only limit is your imagination. Next time for grip I'm just going to grap two fistfulls of the cloth from the bag and drag it as far as I can. Have fun!

Tou Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I'll make myself two bags. I really want to try sandbags farmer's. My bags will be adjustable so I can add some weigth. I plan to work from 100 to 300+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kINGPIN Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 It is something I am seriously considering trying for a bit of variety. I will get the book soon. I am in the process of looking for matirials for it now. I am thinking of trying that idea of Kubics of using loads of chain as the 'sand'. I am guessing this would cost a bit to be able to take it to heavy weight though but at least it should last forever and not leak. This may sound stupid but, what type of bags do you use? I hav'nt got a clue.....which is why I need the book! Thanx for the responses lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Army duffels or any thick bag will do. Preferably a bag with tough handles for farmer's walk. You NEED the book not only for the sanbags stuff. This book is the best stuff I have encountered so far. It turns you into an animal when you're in the gym.

Guest kINGPIN Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Thanx for the suggestion Tou. The info on his site is great. I have no doubt that the book is the same standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdawg Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 kingpin and tou, i just found a source for heavy canvas duffel bags cheap. i haven't been able to find much at surplus stores or flea markets, so i decided to look online. anyways, here's the link: http://www.majorsurplusnsurvival.com/cgi....2053703 hope this helps you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfitz Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 as far as grip specific sandbag training goes, i've found doing curls with the bag really works the hands hard- especially the fingers. i've found sandbag and odd object lifting to be the most rewarding part of my strength training- good luck, kingpin!

Sybersnott Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Kingpin, If ya need some sandbags, let me know. I picked up some really cool duffel bags from the Army/Navy surplus store, and are great for making those sandbags described in the book, "Dinosaur Training" by Brooks Kubik. Also, go to his website. Lots of good stuff. Here's the address: http://www.brookskubik.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Those bags are cheap Fuel Crusher, and that's what I'm looking for. They look tough too, should do the job. Sybersnott, could I get the same privilege as Kingpin ? I want two sandbags that I can weight over 150 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kINGPIN Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Arrhh, now I know the sort of bags you mean. I can get them here although I am not sure on the price. Snott, the site is already in my favorites. He gives so much away on that site its a wonder he has got anything else to write in his book. Can't wait to get it. Thanx for the advice and encouragement everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Tou, If ya want me to score some duffels for ya, e-mail me - Sybersnott@yahoo.com. Or call my hotline - 1-877-571-7486, and leave a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
