Few things build a killer set of pins quite like heavy squats and carries, and this challenge smashes the two together for an unbeatable leg workout.
If you can make it all the way through without dropping the sandbag (or chosen heavy object), you’ll be rewarded with bankable leg gains, as well an enviable upper back pump. Grab a heavy sandbag anything from half of your bodyweight is ideal, upwards to your total bodyweight and attempt to get as far through the following protocol as possible without stopping. No sandbag? Grab the heaviest dumbbell you can.

‘Linda’ holds a special place amongst the Crossfit ‘Girls’ workouts, which, appropriately, follow the naming convention of storms (they re not an indicator that these sessions are gender-specific). Linda boasts the very rare inclusion of a chest-specific movement, making her a firm fan favourite.
Men s Health Fitness Editor Andrew Tracey has adapted Linda to be sandbag friendly, not only upping the savagery, but meaning you can tick off this entire workout with nothing more than items available in your average DIY or garden centre (follow our guide to building your own sandbag here)
