Today was going to be a good day, I recently purchased a heavy sandbag named ‘FITSHIT’ and was excited to give it a run with the PAX. The heavy sandbag was made up of three smaller sandbags each total 40ish pounds (combined weight of 120-125 pounds).

Moleskin:
YHC learned a lot today about training with sandbags…especially when working with a larger group. Adjustments were made on the fly and by the end of the workout, I think we could all see what is to come.
