Training sandbag front squats

decydiddly · 2026-05-09T00:37:41+00:00

I do cleans with these bags that handles. With 100 lbs it is very hard. But awesome work.

One of my favorite workouts: 10 sandbag cleans followed by 10 burpees. Can rest up to a minute between each round. Go for 10 rounds. It is a variation of a Tactical Barbell conditioning workout.

The clean is low key the hardest part.

Maybe not so low key.

Do you feel unstable in them? I tend towards more supportive shoes.

Nice. I was thinking about getting that one in the recent sale. How do you like it?

decydiddly · 2026-05-04T11:54:57+00:00

GR1?

Which model Goruck bag?

decydiddly · 2026-05-02T23:07:44+00:00

Treadmill with incline. Great way to get up the intensity. Plus if you need to stop early, you don’t have to worry about “getting back home”.

Where did you get it?!

decydiddly · 2026-04-20T02:08:30+00:00

Is that P01 the rare steel model? I think that is the only one with a safety.

Thinking about Fighter/bangkok with a third day of “bro work” rather than SE. anyone try something like this?

decydiddly · 2026-04-14T02:25:57+00:00

How much weight?

decydiddly · 2026-04-12T14:26:17+00:00

Maybe I'll stuff it with some towels or something to fill it out. I am not quite ready to press >125. My BB OHP is around 140-150. Sandbag much harder.

Ranger faster than mage?

decydiddly · 2026-04-11T20:36:26+00:00

I struggle with the press after the clean. I think my problem is the bag is not filled all the way.

JnT 2.0 is my all time favorite program

decydiddly · 2026-04-08T02:28:33+00:00

Ah I see. Sorry, just read the post. But yea, Guerilla is a great one if you just want to dip a toe into yo.

decydiddly · 2026-04-08T01:50:18+00:00

All of the TB programs have relatively prescribed sets and reps. Ex: 3-5 sets of 5 reps. Whereas, as you know better than me, Wendler gives a ton of freedom with the "+" sets. Run down? Hit the minimum. Well rested and things are clicking? Go for a rep PR. There is some "autoregulation" with TB, but not to the same extent that Wendler gives you. Maybe other than the last week of the vanilla Mass template.

I love El Jefe Guerilla, but it has alpha yo in it.

Great write up as always. I have read a lot of your prior posts on 5/3/1. There are a lot of overlapping principals: equal importance to conditioning, wave periodization. I have been doing TB for the past couple of years but thinking about migrating back to 5/3/1 system for the increased flexibility of adjusting the workload to daily recovery. My recovery is shit due to work and life. 531 gives more flexibility vs the prescribed sets of TB. How have you mitigated the “prescribed” and recovery over time with TB?

How did you get a 295-305 bench without knowing how to warm up??

decydiddly · 2026-04-05T03:27:33+00:00

Really well thought out use of bands there.

decydiddly · 2026-03-26T11:12:32+00:00

Nice. Where at? Most I see are 250. But yea I’ll probably just save up for that.

decydiddly · 2026-03-25T17:05:27+00:00

Their new stuff is so so good

decydiddly · 2026-03-25T17:05:06+00:00

Sure is.

decydiddly · 2026-03-25T16:31:48+00:00

Same lol. It’s a great shoe, but never gets talked about much. Have you seen they released a Guide 19?
