Todays Workout - Tabata Sandbags for Super-Conditioning!

Complete the following exercises in a Tabata interval style i.e. 20 seconds of work followed immediately with a 10 second rest period. Repeat for a total of 4 minutes (8 intervals). Take a 1 minute rest between each exercise.

Sandbag Power Cleans
Sandbag Front Squats
Sandbag Push Jerks
Sandbag High Pulls

Aim to complete an equal number of repetitions in each subsequent interval.

Men aim for a 30kg sandbag; women aim for 15kg.

To make timing easy, I'd recommend getting a Gymboss Interval Timer




Add your performance (total reps per exercise) to the comments.

Train hard!

    is a push jerk the same as a push press?

    Hi Nick, yes the push jerk is similar to the push press but it involves a secondary dip under the weight as your arms go to full extension. If you struggle with tech on the jerk you can use a push press as well. Let me know how you get on! Matt
