Our personal training studio in Kansas City is located next door to an awesome strength gym. Even though we have our own entrance and signage, we technically sublease from them and share some amenities like bathrooms. Recently, the owners, whom I’ve come to know over the last few months, informed me of a powerlifting meet they are hosting in May, which I decided to participate in. It’ll be my first official powerlifting competition, and I’m really excited about it.
However, if you follow my emails, blog or social media posts, you may know that I’m also into distance events, like Spartan races. I’m considering doing a 50k Spartan Ultra Beast event later this year, which seems to be at odds with my powerlifting goals. Nevertheless, I’ve found a way to balance both by reducing my running mileage while maintaining my conditioning level with unorthodox workouts, like the sandbag/duffelbag conditioning workout I’m going to share with you today.
