Sandbag Workout

Build Big Muscle with Sandbags

Shape up by ditching dumbbells for a super sandbag

Pushup with Sandbag Drag

Place a sandbag on the floor and assume a pushup position so the bag is to your right. Grab the bag with your left hand and drag it underneath your chest to your left side. Do a pushup. Now drag the bag back to your right side with your right hand. Do another pushup. Continue alternating sides. "Brace your core to avoid rotating your body as you drag the bag," says Henkin.
