Sandbag Get-Up

Why Do It?

Nature doesn't have handles. The Sandbag Get-Up forces you to wrestle with a shifting, awkward load from the ground to a standing position. It engages every muscle in your body and builds "old man strength" that applies directly to handling game in the field.

Execution

1. Lie flat on your back with the sandbag on one shoulder.
2. Roll to your opposite side/elbow.
3. Push up to your hand.
4. Sweep your leg under your body to a kneeling position.
5. Stand up tall with the bag secure.
6. Reverse the movement to return to the floor.

Common Mistakes

• Rushing the movement and losing control of the bag.
• Not bracing the core (letting the bag crush you).
• Skipping steps (e.g., trying to stand straight up from the ground).
