I’ve been doing sandbag high pulls every morning for a few months now and honestly, it’s changed the game for me. Not just a movement—it’s a full-body wake-up call. Your traps, shoulders, core all firing at once.
Here’s what I do: 4 sets of 8 reps. Speed means nothing if your form’s sloppy. I’m lowering for 2-4 seconds every single rep—that’s where the real strength happens. Rush it and you’re just shifting weight around.
Why sandbag over dumbbells? Simple. The load’s unstable. Sand shifts. Your stabiliser muscles have to work harder to keep you honest. That’s functional. That’s useful in real life.
I’ve added the RDX Sandbag into our system because you don’t need a fancy gym. You need your living room and something heavy. That’s it.
Start heavy enough that rep 8 actually feels hard. If you’re cruising, add load. No shortcuts.
Film yourself. Check the eccentric. Those 2-4 seconds are doing more work than you think.
