Welcome!

Welcome to The Stone Circle! Introduce yourself below. How's your training been going?

I'll start.
My name's Cody, and I have a few goals I'm chasing at the moment.

There's a calisthenics circuit I'd like to complete for 15 rounds (600 total reps) in 30 minutes.
I'd also like to keep pushing my bodyweight sandbag box squat reps further!

Just a reminder: If you're brand new to sandbags, be sure to check out the free video series I created called Sandbag Basics. It covers everything you need to get started!

Hello my name is Ben and I am a sandbag addict.

Long term I want to shoulder 120kg (1.5x my bodyweight, roughly). My best right now is 80kg so I've got a fair ways to go.

Glad to be here.

Haha a sandbag addict I think I can relate to that! Your progress has been speeding up like crazy recently with those box squats and the shoulder PRs, I see 120 incoming no doubt!!

Hey everyone, Han here 👋

Based in Melbourne, relatively new dad and turning 40 this year.

I’ve been training consistently for a while, but lately spending more time out of the gym and enjoying it more. Currently doing gymnastics rings, with kettlebell juggling (super addictive) and rope flow for mobility and recovery.

New to sandbag training and looking to use it to complement my rings work and build more real-world strength.

Main goal is improving posture, not just to look good, but to move well and feel good.

Keen to learn from everyone here 👍

Hey I'm glad you're here man!! Given how easily you were moving that bag in your box squats, I think you really have a lot of potential with sandbags!
