Jim vs. The Sandbag Clean and Press

This was one that made me say, “I wish I had a 50lb sandbag.” Well, sometimes wishes do come true.

The Sandbag Clean and Press x 50
Clean your Sandbag from the ground to shoulder level and press it overhead 50 times as fast as possible.

Finished in 5:31. Not quite “Nasty, brutish, and short” territory, but I’ll probably still make it under that and “Mid-range”; I’m sure I can get this one under five. In any case, it was well under the 10 minute cutoff, so I’m pleased.

Home version of the light workout today, wrapping up the light workout week

Two rounds very much not for time of:

Push ups x 15
Squats x 10
Sit-ups x 15
Jump rope x 100
Sandbag clean and press (25lb) x 10

Nice way to end the week. Back to the real deal on Monday.

Jim vs. The Sandbag Clean and Press

It’s a gloriously sunny Sunday, and that means a nice 1-mile run with Nina, and then some time with the 25lb bag of road salt.

The Sandbag Clean and Press x 50
Clean your Sandbag from the ground to shoulder level and press it overhead 50 times as fast as possible.

This was the first sandbag workout that really made me want a 50lb bag. I finished it in 2:45, which makes me confident that I could do 50 reps as Rx’d in under the 10-minute cutoff they recommend.

A trip to Home Depot may be in order when I get back from traveling.
