7 BRUTAL SANDBAG WORKOUTS for Getting Shredded, Strong and Functional!

[@indianronin01]

Dude your youtube channel is like lifting library. Thanks man

[@user-cm9ef4fw7m]

@Michael Harris devil rules idiot

[@cobra4961]

@Michael Harris We no care bro go lift

[@dustythejones]

There is something about sandbags that just builds what I call “brutal strength.” Nothing else seems to do the same thing to you as what a heavy sand bag does. Be strong and courageous!

[@bobdole7292]

What is considered strong for sandbag carries ? I feel pretty weak being about 170 and my 180 lb sandbag gives me all I can handle

[@dustythejones]

@@bobdole7292 that’s pretty respectable, really. Once your bags are heavier than your body weight, I personally think you’re handling very a reasonable amount of weight.

[@ClassicPhysique27]

@@bobdole7292 trust me many guys cannot manhandle their own BW, including me haha. I will soon though.

[@Simpleburger1968]

@@ClassicPhysique27 Lol ! would agree there...I weigh 75 kg and the max (max ! ) sandbag I can lift & carry is 40 kg . Love the workout though :-) The hardest part is the lifting off the ground.

[@ClassicPhysique27]

@@Simpleburger1968 I could almost manhandle my body weight. Took a month to get really used with the movement haha

[@deneskiss9756]

sandbags were one of my best gym investments so far, my legdays are actually fun, and I look forward to them

[@tangoalpha94]

Leg days fun? This is very foreign to me. You ain’t suppose to like it lol

[@jayc8442]

I haven’t been on utube last couple years, but glad to see your looking and sounding healthy again brother! Over 200,000 now wow awesome man! Btw all of those looked brutal!

[@AshishSharmaLive]

Man I just bought a 175 lbs sandbag yesterday after watching your other sandbag video and I'm so excited to try all of these workouts. You are an awesome man Brian. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference you have made in my life. Thank you so much !!

[@kevan1873]

This workout is awesome for wrestlers grapplers and judokas. Be blessed Warrior !

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Yes it is, I hope you will find it useful!

[@mikaelsamae6237]

Thank you Brian for everything you have done for us. No matter when I lift, I always go back to one of your do and do nots, Clarence vidéos, Jeff nippards, omar's or Alan's. You guys help us newbie or experienced lifters more than you can imagine. I am definetly getting a shirt and a program just to support you and learn from you. For now I will pursue your advices here and better myself. Good luck on your recovery and health, Lots of love from France brother.

[@luherrera8118]

Loving the profile picture brother 🙏

[@guymontag2948]

I used sandbags for the first time this weekend, and loved it. This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for to get started. Thank you!

[@onestepcloser495]

Have been doing 1 of your programs for the last couple off weeks with some friends, now i know why you are sweeting so much haha. you are an absolute beast brain. keep it up

[@michaelbarrett2968]

I was just telling my son that if I could only do one exercise it would be a heavy sandbag OHP from the floor… requires a DL, a squat, a clean and a push press in one lift.

[@bobdole7292]

What about a barbell clean and press?

[@brandondabbs2593]

Only problem with that is the strength curve. If you're challenging your hammies and quads you aren't pressing it. I love the idea, I definitely prefer sandbag to shoulder though.

[@43bigsteve]

Perfect timing! I've been meaning to up my sandbag work at home. We just got a 265 lbs sandbag at work and we got a little friendly competition for the first person to get it up and over their shoulder. So far I'm the only one to lift it up all the way, just couldn't get it over my shoulder yet. 2 other people can only lap it.

[@evangolebiewski6187]

@Michael Harris relax bro

[@simongendry1823]

I've worked out on traditional heavy bags kzbin.infoUgkxp9-sf95nqfjey-uyzxUzQ7m9MXRPK1BE a spherical stuffed "wrecking ball" bag, and now this thing. What I like about it is that it has the heft to stay largely in place so I'm not chasing it around. It's tall enough to allow for headshots and body shots, but it's short enough to give an uppercut somewhere to land. I'm very happy so far. Filling it was a bit of a cluster. For top-offs, I've learned that you can screw the supplied nozzle onto any basic plastic water bottle. I can't speak to durability as I've only had it a week.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you very much, my friend

[@JustBrian1892]

Thanks man! There’s an old video on here something like ‘mark felix outdoor strength training’ where he does loads of old workouts….. one he has a heavy sandbag , lies next to it….. then grabs it rolls it over his body till it’s on the ground the other side of his body(all while lying down)…..then do these like 10x as fast as possible…. Great for fighters and core!!! Just thought I’d share as I never saw it before!! But appreciate everything Brian, keep it up brother!!

[@OverTheHillTraining]

Explained it better than most sir. Especially on the timing aspects. Looks gruelling but honest.

[@StealthSueYou]

Great video, thank you Brian! My friend's lightest sandbag is slightly more than my bodyweight. Been using it for your powerbuilder program, and my loading has gone up using the heavier bag. Just gotta stick with it week over week so it continues to improve!

[@jonathanrogers9961]

Just getting into sandbag training. Cant say as I will be using any of these workouts specifically, but you have given me some really goo ideas, thank you. I am starting light, I will have a 25lb and 50lb bag, just wailing on them to get delivered.

[@SFRB1187]

Brian, you are the man. This is exactly what I was looking for. Definitely going to be giving these a try. Thank you!

[@druidman2000]

Great tool for general strength that doesn't require a ton of equipment. Going to have to add some of this in. Thanks Brian for the great content!

[@AlbertLeppänen]

I never thought about doing get-ups with my sandbag. Thank you!

[@liamfellows3905]

Been waiting for this one. Can't wait to get started with my sandbags

[@thegooddoctor5573]

Brian, I've been using bags filled with stuff a lot since the pandemic began. I find that unilateral work with heavy bags fills in a lot of the gap left without access to a barbell. Keep up the good work.

[@isaacbridge3623]

I’m not very strong yet, very out of shape. I am going to start with a 75lb sandbag and see what damage can be done with that. I wanted to be all aesthetic and ripped and my goals have switched to completely functionality focused. Looking forward to checking out more of your content.

[@mohamedrebbouj3611]

I too truly truly appreciate your content. a new super fan of yours from Morocco

[@clubsoda6086]

I appreciate this video, it’s very informative and helps a lot. And I like how you said there’s a difference between gym lifts and the sandbag .. I hate working out inside, so the sandbag has been something I look forward to outside. Thanks again mate.

[@lullsbaby9321]

When I own my own garage, Ima pick up a sandbag. Then Ima try and get a tire plus a sledgehammer. THEN a barbell and some weights. All thanks to Brian who keeps me pushing; glad to have these brutal moves man thank you

[@georgesachinidis804]

Man! I'm building a home gym and was searching for ways to use sandbags and boom! Like this channel was not a goldmine already! Thanks for all this amazing content Brian!

[@miguelkams8850]

This is great for my MMA, much love to you brother

[@e.e.8589]

I love my DIY sandbag. Time to use it more often

[@luiscarlossaraiva3786]

Brutal. Un gran video. Me encanta la manera de comunicar que tienes. Gracias a tus vídeos empeze con los sandbag.

[@markhalstead2386]

I love these videos! I have a Home Depot bucket for rice and now can have a bag for sand. Great supplemental training from them at a fraction of the cost of my weight lifting equipment.

[@ronin_9]

Brian is the MAN!!

[@geoffkaminski]

Still on the look out for a gym that has actual sandbags, but I really like using the heavy bag to mimic the same hip pop I would use on a wrestling mat return. Those work great as an explosive primer before my deadlifts

[@lullsbaby9321]

You'd love my gym; has Rogue sandbags (and others) up to 300lbs. Also has a Yoke, car deadlift, stones up to 200lbs, a Viking Press platform, Farmer's implements, kettlebells, 2 deadlift stations, a rock climbing wall, rope, 4 massive tires + sledgehammers AND your run-of-the-mill isolation machines. Its in Eastern Ontario, Canada. "Quest PTS" come on by. (Been going there 2+ years despite 4 other gyms in town)

[@geoffkaminski]

@@lullsbaby9321 dang man that's really cool. Not nearly that much strongman stuff in Ohio

[@lullsbaby9321]

@@geoffkaminski Dang thats rough. Sorry man. Hope you find what you're looking for though

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

There are TONS of strongman gyms in Ohio brother. Just need to know where to look!

[@geoffkaminski]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial if anyone would know, it'd be you. I'll keep looking, in the meantime I'm trying to get my college coaches to see the value of strongman training

[@noPr0Here]

Man I’m just glad to see you doing better and got your medical issues figured out. Heard the news yesterday about John Meadows and he was so wholesome and reminded me of you and how far you have come on your journey and it continues to inspire me to do better!

[@christisking1193]

Best one I’ve seen

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you!

Just started watching your KZbinsast month. Enjoying every one. Glad you're doing well.

[@syedali255]

[@jackemarleeyoung]

Hey Brian, would you make videos talking about your experiences working over seas? Like Lessons learned, funny stories, bad times, or good times?

[@dodgerboyjedward]

Wow perfect timing, my brother and I just bought a couple sandbags so we can workout together on Saturdays, and I was trying to put together a few workout ideas! Thanks Brian!

I'm making a strongman gym for my grp and these are the first things I'm getting. Always awesome knowledge. Ive done a lot of programs but I always come back to Neversate!

[@mihael2509]

I bought a 100kg sandbag as my first sandbag(im 95-97kg) I havent tried the over the shoulder throw, but it workd for other things very well

[@Valkyrie1911]

Yep, adding this to my cardio/active rest days.

[@DracoJakeo]

Love my sandbags, this is the vid for me!

[@pWin317]

hellyeah another sandbag video!

[@handro33]

This looks amazing and completely awful at the same time. I just started into strongman and bought a 125-200 lb sandbag to help simulate carry and log press. I want to incorporate more conditioning work and this looks like it will definitely help! Thank you again.

[@davidperlich9196]

I'm dusting off my sandbags, thank you! Also the looks I get for doing burpie pull-ups are priceless!

[@jefffrasca4054]

I call those "burp ups".

At last! I was waiting for this two years)

My new gym has a couple of sandbags & farmer's implements too. Glad I came across your video, will try the sandbag workout tomorrow. Thanks Brian. 👍

[@roccojohnson4600]

Did sandbag carries at the end of my deadlift workout this morning. Have to make a new 200lbs bag. It exploded when I dropped it at the end of my third set.

[@spiritssnowfall9990]

I can imagine the mess it made

[@tylerhebert8237]

"Dirt" cheap, haha good one. I have a gravel pit I've been using instead of sand.

[@yodgetfit]

I needed this so badd

[@unknownstrongman]

I'm 260 lb and 6'3. I bought a 150 lb this year. I get a good workout with it, but it is getting a little easy. I'm on a budget, and live in the middle of nowhere, so I use stones and logs too. Great video man. Cant wait to do this.

[@bobdole7292]

Check out iron mine or Cerberus. They have bags for around 90-100$ that are adjustable up to 225+ pounds depending on which you get

[@unknownstrongman]

These are badass would like more please

[@dalejansen127]

Just purchased a Titan 100 and 150 pounder. Humbling is definitely the word. Now i am not a person genetically inclined to strength training…built for distance stuff. At 5’10, 160 and built skinny, i do middlin but always try to hit it “harder than last time” as Greg Doucette puts it. The bags definitely Make that happen.

[@dalejansen127]

I am watching this again and now i know why the thought if benching today is just not a good thought…yesterday was squat day and i closed it with over the bar and front carries fof 50 feet with a 100 pound bag. It is literally the second time in my life (at 67 years old) that i have touched these bastards and they are everything Brian says they are. I feel it everywhere and that is GOOD. The Titan bags i purchased were on sale so total was about 160. Play sand from Lowes eas 18 bucks for 5x50 pound bags so really, these two bags fully set up arr comparitively inexpensive. Also, the bags are well constructed, pretty easy to fill snd secure and require no plastic bags or anything else. Added to my farmers walks these are great variables to throw into any program.
