Great idea. No mess with the rubber mulch

[@crossfitinguz3938]

You got it!

[@wayneparker9331]

Thank you. I was just researching DIY sandbags for just this purpose. ❤❤

[@luisdotespinal]

I like the idea of using rubber mulch. It is certainly better than sand or wood mulch (which attracts termites!)

[@johnmichaels4330]

Except it doesn't weigh very might at all.

[@yourfavuncle_]

Found a empty sandbag at work used two rolls of duck tape and Sand from the beach used old tie down straps for handles ...all free .

[@oldirtydasher]

actual sand! Genious!!

[@yourfavuncle_]

@@oldirtydasher just cheap.

[@johnmichaels4330]

Play sand is cooked (heated) to kill bacteria. That's why most people don't use beach sand. But hey, if it doesn't start smelling, great idea.

[@TheWiseBro]

Great video!! Thanks!!

[@crossfitinguz3938]

Glad you like it!!

[@Mdbr842]

This is brilliant

[@crossfitinguz3938]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!!

[@scottjablow]

I recommend using a demo bag as a liner.

[@crossfitinguz3938]

Good suggestion.

[@toneloco1550]

Like a thick garbage bag that they use for demolition?

[@scottjablow9493]

It’s woven bags for heavy duty trash.

[@toneloco1550]

@@scottjablow9493 thanks for the clarification.

[@johnmichaels4330]

With sand so you can get some decent weight in there.

[@jeffdavis7150]

I’m guessing that the rubber nuggets were not completely dry when you put them in the bags, since rubber mulch usually sits outside at Lowe’s. Have you had any problems with mold inside the bags over time?

[@crossfitinguz3938]

No mold issues that we've seen. Could definitely dry the mulch out before adding to the bag first. Good suggestion!

[@takyrica]

Great idea! Do you have any workout ideas?

[@crossfitinguz3938]

Takyrica Styles here you go! ua-cam.com/video/dlZSYQ_wuKs/v-deo.html

[@takyrica]

CrossFit Inguz yay!!! This is PERFECT! 🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@Saiarts_yt]

Using a 150 pound sandbag with stairs, hills, or any obstacles of choice to get both active cardio training in.

[@garretthicks6341]

Can you throw these over shoulder for cleans? Are they durable enough to throw down?

[@crossfitinguz3938]

Yep...definitely durable enough for that!

[@Dad_Lyon]

Good idea... hate the music though

[@excurrahee]

I don't see those bags lasting very long, especially if you do any throws. Can you give us an update?

[@crossfitinguz3938]

The bags have held up very well so far. No rips or tears...no spilled mulch. The canvas on these seems to be very durable.

[@utubepunk]

@@crossfitinguz3938 Good to hear. How about now? They still holding up just as well?

[@hellman5820]

thats a lot of faith in a duffle bag from amazon man. maybe you should put it in a heavy trash bag, roll it, then put it in the bags so if they rip it wont matter.

[@crossfitinguz3938]

You could definitely do that as an added precaution. They're both holding up very well so far.

[@luisdotespinal]

I've used canvas duffel bags from amazon ... with sand, for over 100lbs and they held fine. Just FYI.

[@jonbialis3590]

How much does a bag of that rubber mulch weigh?

[@crossfitinguz3938]

Each bag weighs about 20lbs

[@TheWiseBro]

How much did the smaller bag weigh?

[@dubitard4388]

41

[@crossfitinguz3938]

Just over 40 lbs

[@iaminvincible9]

Hi
Can we use pea gravel instead. Thanks

[@scotchtowerbibletractsocie8083]

You may not use pea gravel. Good day sir.

[@robertwegner9086]

That’s what I use

[@johnmichaels4330]

Yep, or sand with a construction bag liner. Keep it loose for a harder workout.

[@garylizard]

On my last point..the 400lbs bag would never be lifted. Just my face would get redder and the thing would be stuck to the ground

[@cocopuf97]

Sand is cheaper and weighs more.

[@garylizard]

Is this a video where the guy puts the shit in a bag? Is that it? Seriously dude..I wanted a 300-400lbs bag..there is no point in a 60lbs bag

[@nixcution4935]

Maybe try metal or stones or a lot of metal powder

[@johnmichaels4330]

Construction bag liner and sand. Past that and you need some steel or lead shot.

[@jaleesa00]

Maybe use gold

[@Robert-hf5xr]

Made mine for under $5 lol

[@superbenbenhahaha]

but you can buy one from Amazon for less than $30...

[@johnmichaels4330]

Not with that weight. This is total.
