How to do the Sandbag Load
- To load sandbags or other objects, begin with the implements placed a distance from the loading platform, typically 50 feet.Begin by lifting the sandbag.
- Sandbags are extremely awkward, and the manner of lifting them can vary depending on the particular sandbag used.
- Reach as far around it as possible, extending through the hips and knees to pull it up high.
- Shouldering is usually not allowed.Move as quickly as possible to the platform, and load it, extending through your hips, knees, and ankles to get it as high as possible.
- Place it onto the platform, ensuring it doesn't fall off.Return to the starting position to retrieve the next sandbag, and repeat until the event is completed.
