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.

[@LeeDowningKeat]

@@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

[@infusedbyfitness]

Totally Agree

[@warlord2pfa]

Good video mate. Been using sandbags fir a couple months now. They will be a permanent part of my work outs from now on.

[@LeeDowningKeat]

Thanks for watching mate and glad you enjoyed it. They are underrated and should be used more. Do you have a favourite exercise?

[@warlord2pfa]

@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]

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

[@warlord2pfa]

@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.

[@danniseliger5172]

One of my main reasons for using a sand bag rather than a bar bell, is the fact that I live in a flat. Sand bags really don't take up a lot of room (one doubles as a foot rest by my couch. And most importantly- you can train without disturbing your neighbors or damaging the floors

[@LeeDowningKeat]

They are awesome and especially handy in situations like yours. Plus so much cheaper. Barbells and weights aren't cheap either

[@Home_Jimbo]

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!

[@LeeDowningKeat]

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

[@NoRockinMansLand]

So deadhangs too

[@dantekun1203]

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.

[@LeeDowningKeat]

That's a really good idea. Great shout out

[@feldgraufox4927]

Looking forwards to this one mate been enjoying using my sandbag recently.

[@LeeDowningKeat]

Hope you enjoyed the video and how's your sandbag training going

[@patrickbrowder6857]

I replaced my gym with a sandbag, two dumbbells, weight plates, and an old iron bar I hang weighted grocery bags from.

[@LeeDowningKeat]

gains

[@Carey1135]

Pls make videos abt sandbag full body exercises

[@LeeDowningKeat]

Thanks for the recommendation and I'll work on it

[@paolosmaldone8347]

You can buy a 50kilos bag of compost for growing plants and vegetables (very cheap)and put in an old canvas sack or laundry bag or empty heavy bag.

[@SandbagMisfit94]

The all around strength gains you get from training with a heavy sandbag outweigh any of the cons! 💪🏻

[@LeeDowningKeat]

No doubt!

[@DKMRFCBrlz]

Nice video!!!

[@LeeDowningKeat]

Thanks for watching

[@freddygoulet6101]

I’m having trouble deciding what to go with for my first sandbag. The strongman sandbags or the longer sand bags with handles. I will get both eventually, but what do you all recommend for my first? Thinking of starting around the 100 lbs point.

[@LeeDowningKeat]

Tbh I have used anything with handles but the benefit of the sandbags are that you have to grab and squeeze them so handles kind of take the benefit out of it

[@Cedarsunrun]

Strongman sandbags 100%. I have rogue and Cerberus bags and they’re both great quality

[@LeeDowningKeat]

They will last a lifetime

[@lindseymckirdy1830]

Instead of changing weight just change the rep, I use my sandbag in a descending pyramid circuits

[@mrbloby15]

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

[@LeeDowningKeat]

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

[@gundamjoe6586]

Probably been said but if you pre-bagged the sand in smaller viplock bags you could easily control weight changes. So getting rid of the only real con mentioned

[@LeeDowningKeat]

It's been mentioned but it's a very important point and like you said removed the only real con. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more

[@Milpower]

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.

[@HappyGoFunTimes]

Loose sandbags are a bigger challenge than a solid one

[@amiracle1269]

I AGREE...ITS PREFERENCE..BUT I AGREE​@@HappyGoFunTimes

[@haramhartmut2311]

kg or lbs

[@skelatonman]

@@HappyGoFunTimes yeah that "slosh" effect takes it to another dimension. Works different muscles and simulates real life situations.

[@braedenmoses]

Solid breakdown, rn working with 3 bags, 100, 150 and a 220 monster that I can’t shoulder…yet

[@quincy189]

does the sand ever fly out or any dust residue every come out when you slam it? Also just wondering can you hit these? like put them on the ground and pound it without sand flying out? I'm practicing mma too so just curious if I can use this other than just for picking up and training and can use for a ground and pound bag as well like a 2 in 1 combo and would filling this with rice also work? I just dont want sand dust flying out

[@LeeDowningKeat]

The particular bag I have is a bag then it goes a into another bag so no sand doesn't come out, can't speak for others though

[@quincy189]

@@LeeDowningKeat where did you get your bag and can you also hit punch it without ripping the bag? Im trying to get a bag for lifting but also to punch on the bag to strengthen my wrist and fist for mma

[@LeeDowningKeat]

@quincy189 the outer bag is very tough but I can't say for certain if it's OK to punch over the long term. They say they aren't for slamming and dragging but they are pretty strong bags so it's up to you if you want to use it for that. Can't see why you can't but I haven't used it for that so can't recommend it. There are links in video description and a discount code so check them out
