Today's workout is based on heavy movements with sandbags or a heavy ruck.

If you're new to sandbag or heavy ruck movements, don't load up heavier than your body can handle and hurt yourself in the process. Be smart. You don't get strong killing yourself day after day. You just get injured. Start with less than you'd be inclined to, and if that feels easy, add a LITTLE more. It's tempting to want to beast out, but you're doing yourself a favor by not. Patience, grasshoppers.
