The Sandbag Box Squat is Awesome! 

Great video dude. Box sqauts are a go to for all the pros. I love the look of these videos too.

yes! the box squat and “rollups” are one of the best ways to either “put the icing on the cake”, or build some confidence with a weight

Love the channel bro! Used to be a powerlifter almost 20 years ago. Stopped working out almost entirely aside from work, bike riding and a little bit of sandbag work on and off (its been around 5 years ago). Your videos inspired me to get back into it. Been almost 3 months. Started with 75lbs and up to 150, squatting, GM's, shouldering and carries knocking on 175lbs door. Another thing ill do is weighted backpack calisthenics and homemade kettlebells using truck batteries as well as rucking. Again thank you, and ill be continuing watching you on your journey. Havent felt this motivated/excited in years!

I can't say I've ever done a box squat in my life. I'll definitely do this tomorrow. Thanks 👍

2 videos back to back! What a treat!

I really appreciate your approach. Very logical and safe. I didn’t even finish the video before subscribing and purchasing a 100lb sack. It just makes perfect sense to lift sand bags. I mostly do dips pull ups and push ups. Also I do a ton of body weight air squats and weighted vest squats. I see a tremendous amount of strength and size gains from dips pull-ups and push ups. I don’t feel the same about air and vest squats. The sandbag is the piece I never knew I needed. Thank you and good luck on your journey

love doing these, they really have helped me progress with regular sandbag squats

Awesome man… loving the double utilisation of the bags as a “box” Box squats are great in any form 👍 this idea of yours is a gem and makes total sense

I actually just did a few sets of paused a2g sandbag squats today. But I was pausing in the very bottom, in the "third world squat" position. And that fried my quads. I think it may be even better for targeting your quads because you can mostly relax most of your griping muscles at the bottom and rest the weight on your lap, but your quads are still being maximally stretched under load that whole time, so they never really get a break.

In my experience, I don't feel sore in the legs after a stone or sandbag workout. It's usually low back and biceps that are wrecked. I'm going to give this a shot.

Congrats on 10k subscribers !! Quite a milestone and happened pretty fast : )

Trying this today with my sandbag, thanks for showing us bro!!!

This looks like something Kyriakos Grizzly would do.

This is how you get strong right here!

Wow this is crazy , ive been doing heavy sandbag carries for over a year now and i litterally just discovered this exact excersise except with the sandbag resting on my legs while im sitting on a chair , and now you made this video , wow just wow what a coincidence.

Very smart! These las two videos reminded me of the words “position of advantage” - shi. Those words are found in the book The Dao of Capital. Capital should be thought of as a verb, because it’s the action of building up and deploying available tools to make progress. Capital is not a thing it is a process. The Dao of Capital is seeking harmony with the process, rather than chasing numbers. Two important concepts in Daosim are shi and hsing. Positional advantage (shi) through strategic positioning (hsing). Or accumulating strategic intermediate aims from which it becomes more possible and effective to arrive at the ultimate ends. The intermediate advantage is in both the tools and their strategic configuration. The sage positions himself upstream. “Go by way of places that would never occur” - Sun Tzu Now that I think about it, I notice themes from that book running through your channel. From the nature scenery you feature, to yourself retreating to the inhospitable places (the camper & sandbag lifting) to build up strong roots; like one of the most enduring life forms on earth - the conifer tree. In one of your videos you mentioned something about time and the past and the future are the same or something so whatever program one chooses is most optimal. That's not it exactly, but the way you put it was deep. Do you remember what you said or what video it was on? I've been thinking about that lately, but I don’t have time to watch them all again :)

Wow that's an amazing idea!

Awesome! I've been searching for a sandbag exercise to include in my next hybrid ten down circuit. And I believe this is it! All the others appeared too taxing for that purpose. But of course, I'll have to test it on its own first. Maybe I can also do it with Bruiser (much harder to grab, but about 10kg lighter than Floppy the sandbag)

I have been doing just normal squats with the sandbag and stones, but this could be a good method to get more reps in, specially since my legs aren't particularly strong. When I reach the 100kg to shoulder I will inform you of any discoveries I made in regards to sandbag/stone lifting, since I'm actually figuring out some stuff on my own.

I love the functional movement of lifting a variety of body weight “sandbags”.-Zangief

I tried doing sandbag single leg hip thrusts while pushing the bag up on my glutes got destroyed! Tried doing sandbag to shoulder as well, 200 stapled me I love the challenge!

this reminded me ive been meaning to try bear hug walking lunges. you can kinda rest your bag on the lead leg at the bottom, giving your arms/back a break and requiring you to explode with nothing with the quads and glutes.

Great video!!! I think box squats are awesome and definately build muscle!!! As you say you don't have to be technically perfect as on a barbell squat bit can still destroy your quads!! Plus there a fun sandbag excercise!!!

Damn that was pure gold man thank u!!! I work out at work so this awesome - will a steel chair work since i dont have a box

Here in Ireland we call that bricklayer strength. The labourer (brickie apprentice) has to carry cement bags (30k) all day. P. S. Your video would look better in the outdoors. Garden /forest /beach. Keep up the good work. Watching from Dublin Ireland.

Great stuff! Must...get....SANDBAGS!

I'm experimenting with isometrics either at the end of a set or as a finisher set. Doing wall sits with the sandbag after the sets of box squats sounds psychotic lol

Just ordered a sandbag.

I like your Videos, what is your opinion too kettlebells ?

This looks great! Ohh whats even greater, i just made not long ago a second sandbag i can use to sit on! Do you usually do singles for sandbag to shoulder? 5 sets of one?

Any brand recommendations for sandbags? I don’t want to buy one that will fail, and I would love to add something like this to my workouts.

Love this content! But Dude, your videos are darker than a Tarantino film...

What's your rack system? Rogue flat foot?

Which sandbags do you use and recommend? I can deadlift around 200kg, squat 200kg, bench 140kg, Overhead press around 85kg (for context).

I’m new to sandbag lifting and would like to know what the rest period between sets are. I’m currently doing sandbag to shoulder on mon, sandbag squats on Wed and carries on Fri.

Best squat for Bjj

I am a gym/cardio and flexible guy and going to get into sandbag lifting but I am confused on what weight my bag should be. What would you recommend in terms of bodyweight to sandbag weight? half my bodyweight or 3/4 my bodyweight?

I don't have any real heavy lifting experience so i'm wondering if 100lb would be a good starting point? I see the 100lb bags online look quite small compared to what you're using.
