01 Apr Josh Henkin – The Ultimate Sandbag Training Experience

This is a fast paced interview that’s “loaded” with great content about a unique strength and conditioning method – DVRT, also known as “sandbag training” (but you’ll learn why we should’t necessarily call it that).

If you have’t experienced DVRT, this will be a valuable learning session to get started with the training system.
