MTNAthlete has said that seasoned CFers visit his gym and struggle with his hour-long workouts, and I can see why.

I think Mtnathlete's heavy efforts are better than the mainpage CF WODs, also.

However, he's changed his website and workouts in the last month to prescribe different workouts for his climbers and "tactical athletes." I'm not completely sold yet on the new 'tactical athlete' workouts, where he tells you when and how long to ruck.

I liked the old way, which was doing his generic workouts on M/W/F and skipping the rock climbing-centric workouts on Tuesday and Thursday. I then have the freedom to incorporate endurance efforts on my own.

*-Though with CF nowadays you have to say whether its Mainpage CF WOD, MEBB, CF Gant Hybird, CF W/Strength Bias, etc. At least with all the different branches of CF, some CFers are tacitly admitting that 'old school' mainpage CF is lacking.

I did just build a small sandbag (80#) using the method shown on the mtnathlete web site. Very easy. No mess. I used a smaller civilian duffle bag knock off and think I could fit about 100# of wood pellets in it. Not sure about a big duffle..I'd guess 120-150#??. Anyway, it was a lot easier than dealing with sand.
