Sandbag Circuit From Hell

November 28, 2007

Sorry I haven’t written as many posts lately, but I’ve been working hard to get the Workout Warriors site and the WW Webstore finished.

Here’s a nice little workout to get your blood pumping and muscles working overtime. I call it the Sandbag Circuit from Hell.

Here’s how it works: Grab a sandbag, 50-100 pounds, and perform a circuit of overhead pressing, followed by bent-over rows and then squats. You can do these by number of reps, by a certain amount of time or by going to failure. Rest one

You will do 3-5 circuits of this routine and the key is – DO NOT let the bag touch the floor at all. If you need to rest, keep the bag in your arms on your head, wherever – just don’t let it touch the floor. Do not rest during a circuit. Only take a breather between circuits and make sure it’s no more than a minute or two, unless you’re not in good enough shape. In that case, work at your own pace.

Overhead Press
Rows
Squats

Notes: Perform 3-5 circuits with minimal rest, 2-3 days per week. Make sure you lift heavy and with max intensity to get the full benefit from your efforts. Get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
