Tools to make you stonger

What's going on!? I hope everyone is getting after their training programs this week! I just want to talk a little bit about the different types of tools used in my gym. At Warrior Fitness we use many different varieties of objects to add muscle and get ripped at the same time. Some of the different tools we use are: Barbell, Dumbbells, Kettle bells, sandbags, kegs, heavy ropes, climbing ropes, sledge hammers, and tires. Each one of these can help you train like a beast! One of my favorite pieces to use is a sandbag. The main reason is that you can take it anywhere and get a killer workout. Just pop that bad boy in your ride and head to your local park! I use Brute Force sandbags, which I think are hands down the best! We have a link on our website @www.warriorfitnesscenter.com. If you have not tried training with a sandbag I highly suggest you start. Some of my best workouts I have done where using a sandbag. Load it up with 50lb, 75lbs, 100lbs, or if your a beast 150lbs! Basically, get out of your comfort zone and start lifting different objects. If you don't have a sandbag, make one. Real simple, go to your local Lowe's or hardware store and grab 50'lbs of pea gravel and 50lbs of play sand. Then, pick up some heavy duty contractor bags. First part is done. Now, take an old duffle bag or go to your local military surplus store. They usually have some for sure. Your gonna fill up one contractor bag with a half and half mixture. Roll it up like a log but, keep it a little loose. Take that bag and stick it in another contractor bag and do the same. Once you have done that drop it into a the duffle bag and now your ready to roll! If thats too much for you just buy a great product from Brute Force. So, once your ready to go hit up this sandbag upper body complex: You can choose your own rep scheme I went with 5 rounds with 5 reps on each exercise. 1a) sandbag alternate shouldering-transfer the bag up overhead from shoulder to shoulder. 2a)alternate sandbag squats-5 reps on the right,5 reps on the left 3a)push press- 5 reps Here is a full body sandbag complex: 1a)Power clean 5 reps 2a)Sandbag deadlift 5 reps 3a)sandbag row 5 reps 4a)sandbag push press 5 reps 5a)sandbag back squat 5 reps Get after it and get stronger!!
