I'll admit it, training day after day can be a little bit hard. Motivation is easy to lose without a clear direction and goal. For most people having short and long-term goals are vitally important. Long-term goals may vary from losing 20 pounds, dropping 10% body fat, eliminating back pain, to a host of other things. However, short-term goals are often best laid out some performance benefits.
Because we all can improve in performance rather quickly. Taking on the challenge of a workout can often inspire motivation and better adherence. That is why I wanted to put out the first Sandbag Challenge: Melt. Why Melt, well, if you do the workout right you can feel that you are melting unwanted body fat, but also burning up apathy and laziness.
Simply, you can do this program without being driven. It is challenging enough to be performed by even the most advanced athlete, but can be modified for a beginner as well.
What weight should you use? I would recommend the following guidelines:
Beginning women: 40 pound small bag
Trained women: 70 pound medium bag
Beginning men: 70 pound medium bag
Trained men: 120 pound large bag
Follow the workouts below and get ready as the competitions are coming. Yes, this is the first in a series of videos that will get you prepared for competitions where you can win major prizes by getting in great shape now. Just follow the video and let me know how you like the first Sandbag Challenge!
In Strength,

Josh - I just tried the workout. I used a medium 70# bag for the first 2 sets and had to detune the bag to 50# to keep the speed up. I was able to manage 5 sets or 30 minutes.
Thanks for the challenge.
Great work Mike, how did you feel?
