Episode notes
Sandbags Demand Intensity
- Sandbags challenge your entire body with intensity unlike traditional weights.
- They push you mentally and physically beyond ordinary stopping points.
Breaking Plateau with Sandbags
- Cody hit a plateau at 142 pounds after years of barbell training.
- Switching to sandbag training boosted him to a lean 160 pounds and overcame his plateau.
Constant Intensity with Sandbags
- Sandbags require sustained high intensity every session because they are awkward to handle.
- This intensity keeps you from coasting and builds strength endurance early in training.
