About one year ago you may remember me posting a video and article inspired by the Great Strongman, Hermann Goerner and I gave a little taste of his Kettlebell Chain.
Well, now things are the same AND different…..
Enter The Sandbag Chain….. NOT for the weak of mind or heart, check it and get after it.
Check the Video below…
Coach Reeve and many of the strongmen from the 1800s and early 1900s have inspired me to lift in some very unique and non conforming ways.
My Question for You: Who has been the top 3 most influential people in the way YOU train, AND, those 3 people don’t necessarily have to be someone who is alive today. Psyched to see these answers, drop a comment below!

Check out these next two videos of stone training. The stones weren’t crazy heavy so I cranked away with a circuit for strength endurance and conditioning. This is a great way to condense your workouts while still building strength, muscle and stamina.
If you’re a family man / woman, you know ALL about being limited on time. Check it….
I’ll be back to mixing the various odd objects in my workouts with powerlifting once again. I miss the barbell TOO much. Deadlifting and squatting make me feel stronger and more explosive, even if I don’t attack them with full blown heavy loads, which isn’t always the best way!
Question for YOU: How has your training evolved in the past few months. Looking forward to reading your comments and sharing with others!

I have a SERIOUS passion for all types of lifting, but, I especially LOVE throwing weights overhead, ALL types of weights. Remember, I’m a SOUL Lifter, rules need NOT apply.
Check out this medley of overhead lifting in the Underground Video Below…..
There are certain lifts that are just a sure fire way for packing on muscle and developing Brute Strength.
Lifting weights overhead via the press, snatch, clean & press and even THROWING weights overhead will get the job done. Some of the objects were lighter and some of them were heavier.
If you’re a beginner I suggest you only hit one overhead lift but if you’re more advanced and have spent plenty of time under the bar, go ahead, see what it’s like to be a BEAST and lift like a SOUL Lifter.
Time for me to get back to WORK!

Check out Part II of my last workout video, 5 Rounds of Hell, The Underground Strongman Circuit.
I step it up a notch, NO limits, hitting 60 lbs on the chin ups. Round 3 starts getting tough, Round 4 was Brutal and Round 5 kicked my ass BIG time.
After 3 Rounds this workout was purely mental. It woulda been easy to call it a day, but I was dead set on completing 5 rounds.
Not all workouts look like what you see above.
Yesterday’s workout was:
Squats: 7 x 3 Reps
Deadlifts: 10 x 2 Reps
Later that night, I performed 5 Rounds of:
A) Glute Ham Raises x Max Reps
B) Weighted Back XTs x Max Reps
C) Hanging Leg Raises x Max Reps
Due to time constraints I split up my workout in 2, sometimes 2 chunks through the day.
Doin’ what I gotta do and constantly pushin’ the limits.
What about you? Are you pushing the limits, breaking records or taking it easy?
How you train and how you live tend to go hand in hand. Want results? Then go the extra inches. Every single inch counts.
Drop a comment and let us know what you’re doing with life AND lifting.
Time for me to take action.

Lots of people often ask for my recommendation on how to set up a home gym, especially when limited on space, funds and time.
Well, as you can see, I just cranked out some nasty Sandbag Complexes with The Underground Sandbag.
Being in a new home myself AND not being close to my gym I’ll be setting up a nasty corner of Underground Equipment by simply using a Russian Kettlebell and The Underground Sandbag.
In my office you’ll find a Power Wheel, Jump Stretch Band and some Grip Training Devices.
With fresh air and the beach near by I will also by hitting more running and mountain bike riding. My runs will be on the streets, the sand and the trails of the nearby state parks which are HUGE and offer plenty of odd objects for lifting as I make my way through the trails.
I love training with free weights, but, with my lack of space I’ll be forgoing any traditional home gym equipment here and will save my powerlifting for my time at The Underground Strength Gym in Edison, NJ.
When you get a chance, try the sandbag complex I cranked in the video above.
1A) Sandbag High Pulls
1B) Sandbag Bent Over Row
1C) Sandbag Zercher Squats
1D) Sandbag Back Squats
1E) Sandbag Reverse Lunges
1F) Sandbag Good Morning
Before I attacked the sandbag complex I cranked a bunch of reps of the clean, press & squat combo.
Give it a shot yourself and get the bucket ready!
