Lift Your Sandbag From a Platform For Max Gains (Seriously!)

  I whole-heartedly agree. I feel like ive gotten a lot more strength and muscle development in my upper back, especially my traps, from doing all my bear hug carries from a platform. I also feel huge gains in the feeling of core stability, which is critical for me post back surgery. <br><br>I sometimes feel a little unsure of how im using my sandbags, but honestly im seeing and feeling results, and using the platform is a part of that.<br><br>Also, as a quick aside, I got 200 box squats last night, which is my highest rep count to date, with my heaviest sandbag (125lbs). I broke them up into 6 or 7 sets, so not one big rest pause set, but still a personal accomplishment. 4.5 months post back surgery, 3 months or so into sandbags, and going STRONG!!! 💪

  Fair points here. Im definitely guilty of wanting to do it all from the floor at times. Felt like I was &quot;being lazy&quot; if I used a platform. But when training, getting better is all that matters. If my floor to shoulder gets stronger, all is well.

  I love Florian&apos;s accent. In my head his narration keeps merging with the voice of Werner Herzog. It just adds to the image of the (slightly evil) mad exercise scientist.<br>And thanks to both of you for this contribution.

  These videos feel like listening to Mike Mentzer. Just very concise, logical information. These will stand the test of time. Very well done.

  I just noticed, in terms of views, this video has already overtaken our first collab by now. Let&apos;s call it a trend! 😁

  Not long ago, me and a couple of guys from my mens group set up a few truck beds -- 50 and 100 feet apart and set up a 200 and 265 pound bags, we also had a station with a set of kettlebells and worked in rotation for 60 minutes. Goal was:<br>- bearhug carry 50 feet with the 265 <br>- set of Double KB cleans<br>- bearhug carry 100 feet with the 200<br>- set of Double KB presses<br>Over and over for an hour. The bags being at chest height allowed for the unexperienced guys to carry without having to do a bag pick. One of the single most sinister workouts I&apos;ve ever done and the guys had DOMS for nearly a week. Being in the mountains made the aerobic effect that much more potent too!<br><br>Thank you for the channel!
