Sandbag Workouts 28

For Time

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps of:

• Bar Facing Burpees
• 200 metre Sandbag Carry (80/50 lb)

With a running clock, as fast as possible perform the prescribed work. Athlete must complete 21 Front Squats, 21 Bar Facing Burpees, and 200 metre Sandbag Carry for the first round. Continue with this pattern decreasing 3 reps each round until the final round of 3.

Score is the time on the clock when the last round of the 200 metre Sandbag Carry is completed.

Intended Stimulus

This task-priority workout will challenge stamina, endurance, and mindset.

The Front Squat load is light, so athletes should be able to complete all sets without rest or with no more than one rest break each round. The Bar Facing Burpee volume is challenging, but athletes should be able to maintain a relatively steady pace.

Expect the Sandbag Carry to be the most challenging and time-consuming aspect of the workout due to the load and overall volume.

Striving for 200 metre efforts that are under approximately 3 minutes will be the goal. High-level athletes can strive to complete this workout in under 22 minutes, while most athletes should perform a variation that allows them to complete it in approximately 30 minutes.

Partner Workout 30 – HYROX NICKS

For Time (with a Partner)

• 1,000 metre Run

Then, 2 Rounds of:

• 100 metre Sandbag Lunges (100/70 lb)
• 100 metre Kettlebell Farmer’s Carry (as heavy as possible)
• 100 metre Burpee Broad Jumps
• 1,000 metre Run

Time Cap: 45 minutes

Nicks is a Hyrox Doubles workout, that you should complete in a 2-person-team.

Just like the Hyrox Doubles competition, use the principle “YGIG” (You Go I Go) which means, Doubles Team Member 1 (DTM1) works, while DTM 2 rests and vice versa.

Nicks begins and ends with 1,000 m Run followed by 2 rounds of 100 m Sandbag Lunges, Kettlebell Farmer’s Carry, and Burpee Broad Jumps each.

The 2-person-team needs to complete the entire distance per exercise before moving on to the next exercise. It is entirely up to the team to decide the split of cal/reps, however, we recommend a split of 250 m Run part, 10-20 m for Sandbag Lunges and Burpee Broad Jumps, as well as 20-40 m for Farmers Carry.

As far as the Run part, pick one exercise that needs the most improvement. For Sandbag Lunges use competition weight and for Kettlebell Farmers Carry, go as heavy as possible. The time cap for Nicks is 45 minutes.

Score is the time on the clock when the second 1,000 metre Run is completed.

Scaling Options: Reduce all distances by half and if necessary, adjust the weights. Substitute Row or Ski for the Run.

Partner Workout 31

• 10km Run

*Every change complete

• 5 Burpees
• 20m Farmers Walk (1/2 BW Per Hand)

You can break down the run however you wish but I recommend no more than 500m intervals.

Every time an athlete finishes their run, they will perform 5 Burpees and 20m Farmers walks while athlete 2 immediately starts running, athlete 1 will rest after performing the burpees and farmers walk until athlete 2 has finished their run

Partner Workout 32

AMRAP (with a Partner) in 31 minutes

Partner A performs AMRAP of:

• 8 Thrusters (155/105 lb)
• 6 Rope Climbs (15 ft)
• 11 Box Jumps (30/24 in)

While Partner B performs:

• 400 metre Sandbag Run (45/25 lb)

Partners switch after each Run.

Partner A performs as many rounds and repetitions as possible (AMRAP) of the Thrusters, Rope Climbs, and Box Jumps while Partner B performs a 400 metre Run with a Sandbag.

When Partner B returns from the Run, that Partner picks up on the AMRAP where Partner A left off. Partner A starts the Run. Partners switch after each Run. Mark a round after each set of 11 Box Jumps.

Score is the total number of rounds and repetitions completed before the 31-minute clock stops.

Tips & Strategy

Understanding that this is 31 minutes of continuous movement for both partners with heavier weights, odd objects, and challenging movements, it is all about just finding a way to keep moving forward. It is not about going fast, rather trying to not stop moving for the entirety of the workout.

Finding one of the four movements to become the “mental rest” will better allow teams to keep going.

For many athletes, this will be the box jumps, as this is the only time that they are not holding onto something under tension.

For some, it may be the runs. A slower run means that the buddy with the sandbag can catch their breath a bit as the partner inside gets a little more work done. Find a pace and break-up strategy and put it on cruise control.

Scaling Options

The workout is on the longer side, the Box is on the higher side and the weight of the Thruster is on the heavier side.

Legs will fatigue from the Run and Thrusters, so consider using a shorter Box if you’re not confident with the higher box.

Load the Barbell with a weight you could complete 8+ unbroken repetitions when fresh. If high volume Rope Climbs aren’t in your wheelhouse yet, substitute for Strict Pull-Ups or Ring Rows or another Rope Climb scaling option.

Intermediate

Partner Workout 33 (Team of 4)

For Time (in a Team of 4)

• 400 metre Weighted Walk/Run (190 lb) (together)
• 25 Deadlifts (100 lb) (each)
• 400 metre Weighted Walk/Run (190 lb) (together)
• 25 Thrusters (45 lb) (each)
• 400 metre Weighted Walk/Run (190 lb) (together)
• 25 Sandbag Front Squats (50 lb) (each)
• 400 metre Weighted Walk/Run (190 lb) (together)
• 25 Push Presses (45 lb) (each)
• 400 metre Weighted Walk/Run (190 lb) (together)

This workout requires four team members to perform the prescribed work together.

If performing the workout with gym equipment, use barbells and other available equipment. But this workout was was designed for military units, so it was originally intended to be done with stretcher, a water jerry filled with water (45 lbs.), two .50-cal ammo cans filled with sand (50 lbs. each), a sandbag (50 lbs.), and a rock (45 lbs.).

As originally written, the team will load the sandbag, water jerry, rock, and one .50-cal ammo can onto the stretcher (total weight 190 lb) and run/walk 400m carrying the stretcher (if using gym equipment, load a single barbell with 190 lb).

When they return to the start point, each member of the team will secure a piece of equipment and do the next specific exercise for 25 reps. The exercises are: deadlift, the two .50-cal ammo cans (one in each hand) for 25 reps, perform thrusters with the rock for 25 reps, front squat with the sandbag for 25 reps, and push press the water jerry for 25 reps.

Once each member of the team has completed the 25 reps, they load the equipment back on the stretcher and complete another 400m run/walk.

When they return to the start position again, each member will conduct 25 reps of another exercise with a different piece of equipment.

This rotation will carry on until each member of the team has done all four exercises. Upon completion, each team member will have done 25 reps of deadlifts, thrusters, push presses, and front squats and run a total of 2km.
