It's Time to get Strong Like a Strongman, and Yoked Like a Wrestler
I’m just gonna get straight to it.
If you want to get yoked and strong, you’re in the right place.
That's why I created the Sandbag Hypertrophy program.
Here's what happens to people who run it.
Cody (Me)
I ran Sandbag Hypertrophy myself and saw incredible results. Can you believe that before photo is after many YEARS of training? I was plateaued and couldn't seem to add any more size, hard as I tried. Sandbags changed everything.

"Over the course of 4 months I increased my sandbag to shoulder weight from 132 lbs (60 kg) to 250 lbs (113 kg) while intentionally maintaining my bodyweight of 174-176 lbs (79-80 kg). I leaned out and likely built some muscle, particularly in my upper back and traps."

"Before and after Sandbag Hypertrophy. Just over 1 years difference."
THIS IS YOKED
Neck and traps like a college wrestler.
Shoulders like a strongman competitor.
An upper back so dense it looks carved from stone.
Steel cable spinal erectors running from the neck to the hips.
Forearms like a mechanic.
That's Sandbag Hypertrophy.

Looks Aren't Everything
"Okay sure. I'll admit the program clearly gets you yoked."
"But does it make you STRONG??"
"It’s one thing to LOOK strong, but what’s the point without real strength to back it up?"
Here's where sandbags truly shine. In addition to building lots of muscle, they also give you a kind of real-world strength that goes so far beyond what you would ever get training in a typical commercial gym.
Sandbags give you what can only be described as Farmer Strength.
It’s the strength to succeed in any situation, the strength of a truly useful person. Someone capable of contributing when the going gets tough.
Like the mover who built his strength lifting heavy, awkward furniture, or the stone mason who spends his days hauling stone by hand, sandbags give you the undeniable strength of one who has embraced strength as a way of life.
How About That Engine?
"Strength?"
"Muscle?"
"Both cool."
"What about endurance?"
"Who cares how big and strong you are if you gas out after 30 seconds?"
I’m glad you asked.
This is what makes Sandbag Hypertrophy truly unique. In addition to heavy sandbag lifting, the program also includes a very specific kind of calisthenics training:
Calisthenics Circuits.
"Ahh... Circuits you say..."
"Really though?"
"Circuit training??"
I know.
You probably see the word ‘circuit’ and straight away the typical beginner friendly, “5 push-up 10 bodyweight squat,” workout routine comes to mind.
If only it were so easy.
These circuits are something I’ve spent many years perfecting, and said plainly:
They will likely be the most challenging thing you ever do in the gym.
Sandbags are hard, but these circuits are something else.
Here’s a quick description:
Calisthenics circuit training is designed to wear you down quickly and hold you there. Imagine the final mile of a five mile run. You're exhausted, winded, and the only thing driving you forward is sheer power of will.
Now imagine that final mile is full of obstacles.
With four miles already behind you, rather than a simple run to the finish line, you have to make your way up and over things, under things and around them, jumping, crawling, climbing, pushing, bending, calling on strength you didn't know you have from somewhere deep inside yourself, all the while fighting the constant reminder playing on repeat in your head:
“You still have a long way left to go.”
That's what a proper calisthenics circuit is like.
The circuit training in this program gives you endurance like a cage fighter.
What more can I say than that?
Together, heavy sandbag lifting and high-intensity calisthenics circuits form the perfect hybrid training system, creating an all-around athlete who's ready for anything and knows it.
With Sandbag Hypertrophy, strength, power, muscle, endurance, speed, mental fortitude, and a type of total body integrity you don't get any other way are yours for the taking.

The Sandbag Hypertrophy Mindset
Sandbag Hypertrophy isn’t like most muscle building programs. The mindset behind it is completely different. In fact, while the program does build muscle, a lot of it, muscle and hypertrophy probably won’t even be on your mind at all.
That's for one reason: The Sandbag to Shoulder. That’s what the program is really about. Moving a sandbag from the ground to the shoulder like it’s your sport.
Muscle, strength, power and the rest aside, the sandbag to shoulder gives you something much more significant: Purpose.
Above all else, shouldering a sandbag is fun. It’s less exercise and more game or sport, and if you plan on training for the rest of your life that's likely to be much more meaningful than anything else.
The moment you first manage to shoulder something heavy, you’ll feel it.
A sudden shift in understanding.
“What have I been doing all this time?”
It’s the realization that general physical abilities are nothing compared with learning a skill. Learning to actually do something. To use your body for a meaningful purpose.
In that moment of triumph, sandbag on your shoulder, the victor of this small battle, exercise takes on new meaning. No longer is the gym just a place you go to for all the normal reasons.
No.
Every single thing you do from that point onwards will be in service of the sandbag to shoulder.
Muscle and strength?
Those things will come. Every bit of weight you add to that sandbag will mean more size and strength, but you probably won’t notice it.
Not at first.
Too much of your attention will be focused on performance above all else.
This is the true secret of the sandbag to shoulder. By not even thinking about muscle, you’ll end up with MUCH more of it.
This is what makes all of sandbag lifting so powerful. It transforms you from just another person who goes to the gym, to an athlete.
That's the real reason Sandbag Hypertrophy works so well.
IT'S FUN.
Rather than making your way through the gym like it's a chore, checking boxes on your list of exercises for the day, you get to PLAY. The sandbag to shoulder is more than just a simple exercise, it's a game, a puzzle to be solved, and 'gettin good' at it is the best.
