Thanks Matthew, since I currently only own a light sandbag I decided to go for reps. I'm currently looking for getting a second bag as well, or at least inner bag to be filled with sand. The current ones are filled with wood pellets.
That's the great thing about those types of workouts - you can approach them how you wish. You could also experiment with iron shot (just add it in with any other filling). It adds a huge amount of weight for very little volume.
Well done Dan! It's one of my favourite workouts - no nonsense, just simple hard work. And, as you say, can be quite humbling - which I always find is a good thing
Hi Matt! Sandbag workouts have definitely piqued my interest since I came across this article of yours (http://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/5-week-sandbag-workout-program-week-1-get-started) a couple of weeks ago. Regarding the constantly shifting center of mass, how do you think this affects the risk of injury, all factors (stretching, warm up, prior injuries)?
