20KG Cement Bag and a Core of Steel

Training
1

I have a bag of cement weighing 20KG(45lbs).
I need plenty of core exercises for this. Do you have any I might not know of?
Thanks! :smiley:

Right now I am doing standing core twists with the bag. Will now also begin doing crunches.
Anything else?

I have two 45lbs bags of cement.

Staggered carrying?
One bag on one shoulder, walk for 50 steps and come back again. Alternate shoulders between sets. Itā€™ll work your ā€œsideā€(? donā€™t remember the name, sorry) core.

Thereā€™s always the overhead carry, but itā€™s better with a wide diameter PCV tubing, 3/4 full with waterā€¦

Now hereā€™s a stupid question: What kind of bag holds 45 lb of cement?
Like, here, you buy cement in paper bags (which isnā€™t all that great for training pruposes).
I thought about buying a sandsack, but theyā€™re quite expensiveā€¦

What do you guys use?

I actually have just one 80 pound bag and i just duct taped it. Sturdy and not gonna burst onto my floor.

get a army duffle bag, zip lock sandwich bags and gallon freezer bags and duct tape. Then go to home depot and buy some bags of sand. There like 5 bucks for 30pds. fill the sandwich bags duct tape then put 2 or three in the freezer bags and ducct tape. Then throw all of them in a duffle. perfect.

The small bag I have is perfect for running up and down the stairs with.
Iā€™ll keep doing that, and i asked for exercises, not bags. I have two already.

I mean the green army duffle bags with the eyelits on the top. Though i made a 120pd. sandbag with a canvas zip up duffle and it held great! (It had a real heavy duty zipper)
