heaviest sandbag lifts...

[Damian Lee]

Do anyone know what was the heaviest sandbag loaded, shouldered or pressed? If not what was the heaviest sandbag lift you personally know of?

[Jarett Hulse]

I don't know the heaviest. But all sandbag lifting discussions start with Arthur Saxon's 300 + lb overhead lift with a bag tightly packed with flour with a plate inside it.

There is a good sandbag lifting article in the most recent Milo.


A few months ago i saw some really impressive sandbag lifting on YouTube, but I can't find it now

I wonder if it might be this one, by Dave Ostlund:

Pretty impressive performance, I thought!

[Jarett Hulse]

I do believe that was the one.

Ridiculously strong!

That was impressive. I have it in mind to carry sandbags with me in case Im ever at a cabin, or somewhere camped up due to work. I figured it would be a good idea to have the option to work out loading and shouldering stones and bags, as well as a few weighted calisthenics or something to fill in the gaps.
