How to split it
- Pick one way to hand over the sandbag and rehearse it until it is automatic.
- Agree the switch points by distance, so neither of you has to ask.
At Mixed loads the woman lunges with the men's open bag, so the stronger partner usually takes more.
At Pro loads the bag is heavier, so plan more, shorter turns.
Principles only. HyDoubles sets the exact blocks from both partners' benchmarks.
