As a frequent sandbag user I can tell there are literally no cons. I would happily swap sandbags for an entire gym. It’s more useful for everyday strength.
@@naagbert6239 what's great about what you said it they cost little and take up little room so if using to replace a gym would be a great for so many people
Great summary sir 👏🏻 I’ve dabbled with sandbags on and off over the years, been back on it for the past few months…quickly reminded why I reverted back to standard BB training - bloody hard work and humbling AF! One thing it’s highlighted is how weak my wrists and grip are 😞 the core/trunk work is unmatched and ripping a heavy SB from the floor just feels like proper ‘man’s work’ 💪🏻 In short, I’m a big fan!
Thanks for watching and glad you liked it. You summed it up very well " sandbags are humbling " Yes they are harder but with that we will get more from it and when going back to the bb I think it will make us stronger. Ifs like doing ring work and going back to the bar , harder at first but will be worth it in the long run
@LeeDowningKeat I like the bag carries, bag to shoulder with carry, and squats from a front carry the most but I also do overhead presses and curls with lighter bags. I do Turkish get ups with kettle bells but I'm thinking of trying them with the sand bags also.
@LeeDowningKeat I've made my own. I have a 70lb bag for curls and presses and I made a 125lb bag from an Army duffle bag. Gonna fill it to 150lbs this summer. Don't plan on going much heavier than 200lbs for carries.
About the con - not being able to change the weigth easily: I have my sand in construction rubble bags in 5kg quantities that are taped off. I can quickly open the sandbag and throw some of the "weight" out.
Army kit bag and bag s of sand from shop come in 25 kg s for like 8 English pounds duct tape everyone should already own your not Gona get that kind of weight any cheaper anywhere else great tool to be used alongside other training I believe
A few things: 1. Solid video. Thank you. 2. Your sandbags are WAY TOO flimsy. Fill them all the way. Not firm, but full. Experiment with various media, i.e., sand, construction sand, river rock, pebblestone, etc. 3. Have MULTIPLE bags. EACH person training NEEDS a 50#, 75#, 100#, and a 125# bag. That is good for at least 6 months. ANYONE building up to 200# "sandbags" will be c0ck strong. 4. There are no cons. a. Changing weight is easy WITH multiple bags. b. Bag sizes. Slow it down, make it harder. c. Core engagement is a good thing. Learn to breathe and brace BEFORE lifting ANY sandbag. YOU are not doing either. d. Prices are what they are. Look online for deals/people selling. I got a 75#, 100#, and 150# TRX set, stitched with Kevlar, for $150 total. GREAT deal! e. There are no cons.

Looking forwards to this one mate been enjoying using my sandbag recently.
Hope you enjoyed the video and how's your sandbag training going

So deadhangs too
Good video mate. Been using sandbags fir a couple months now. They will be a permanent part of my work outs from now on.
Thanks for watching mate and glad you enjoyed it. They are underrated and should be used more. Do you have a favourite exercise?

@warlord2pfa will certainly build full body muscle and strength with them. What size bags do you have?

That's a really good idea. Great shout out
I replaced my gym with a sandbag, two dumbbells, weight plates, and an old iron bar I hang weighted grocery bags from.

Pls make videos abt sandbag full body exercises
Thanks for the recommendation and I'll work on it

@mrbloby15 yes great idea. Super cheap and effective, huge fan of the sandbag

Loose sandbags are a bigger challenge than a solid one
I AGREE...ITS PREFERENCE..BUT I AGREE@@HappyGoFunTimes
kg or lbs
@@HappyGoFunTimes yeah that "slosh" effect takes it to another dimension. Works different muscles and simulates real life situations.
Solid breakdown, rn working with 3 bags, 100, 150 and a 220 monster that I can’t shoulder…yet
