Like a lot of people, I've been finding new ways to work out. I found out I should expect to WFH until June and suspect gyms will continue to be closed regardless of whatever restrictions are lifted in the near-term, so I bought some sandbags.
This is completely new to me and I have questions, but I also suspect I'm not the only person who was either (1) curious, and/or; (2) new to this kind of training. I'd like to hear others' experiences, whether you're learning a new way to workout or have been doing this for a while:
- How should I adjust my expectations? I'm used to your traditional compound lifts with linear progression yada yada. What I've gleaned so far is that one should not hope at all to track weight increases, so how do you suggest measuring progress? How did you manage weight (e.g., you put in approximately X lbs and just used that same weight for all workouts, or you changed the weight each workout, etc.?)
- Any recommended routines for people who have been lifting for a while but are new to sandbags?
- Best practices?
- Things you wish you had known before starting?
- Incorporating a weighted vest?
- Have you worked in any resistance band training to supplement the sandbag training?
Thanks. I've been looking for ways to get outside anyway so I am trying to look at the silver lining, but I'd like to routinize this as much as I can so I'll stick to it.
