Long Sandbag Carries

I’ve recently read your cutting phase masterclass slides and got so motivated by long sandbag carries as a fatloss/conditioning tool that I decided to incorporate them into my own training regimen.

Even though the concept is simple (you carry a bag of sand for a set amount of time), I wanted to ask you if carrying the sandbag in different ways will lower the value of the session?

Let’s say for example you want to do a 20-minute session of long sandbag carries. Does that mean you have to do the entire session with the bag in the same position (bear, shoulder, zercher carry or farmers walk) or can you switch it up?

I guess sticking to one position is more efficient to assess progress for strength or even hypertrophy but does it really matter for fat loss?

I’d like to hear your thoughts on the matter if you want to share them.

Thank you.
