Dirt cheap, I know, but I gaffer taped handles on a 30kg 3ft punch bag years ago and it's still going strong mate, just keep some tape handy, gaffer tape "the fighters friend" lol

Alex gold (hardcoresportstraining) email instructions on making a sandbag a few months ago, worth checking his site or I can dig out the email for you

Cheers!

after you make a bag like in the link, what would you do with it? how would you incorporate it into a routine? and what kind of weight are they normally made up to. thanks.

[Alex Gold]

The point of the sandbag above is that it is adjustable, so the weight you use is whatever weight you can handle.

I like doing complexes with them, and stuff like loading onto a platform, shouldering and walking with the bag overhead.

How you would incorporate it in a routine is an impossible question to answer.

maybe buy a book off him ;)

i have a couple, i'm a fairly strong and 80kg, and find a 35kg bag is about right for me

here's a quick complex:

6 sandbag burpees
6 sandbag squat
6 clean and press
6 lunges (3 per side)
shoulder sandbag 6 times (3 per side)
6 bent over rows
10 burpees

rest a minute, repeat for rounds.

I use a powerbag a lot and use the above exercises plus -
1. Zercher lunges (holding bag on forearms as if doing bicep curls)
2. Zercher carries (as above but shuttle 'run' 5 to 10m)
3. Clean and throw (like a clean and press but stagger feet after lift and throw on the press movement)

I do these all as a 'time under tension' routine. The most evil way is to have a partner call the exercises at random and to not give you a number so you are working indefinitely on each exercise (1 rep? 15 reps?). Psychologically its really hard and physically very taxing. I use a 25kg bag - cant fathom using anything heavier without feeling nauseous. Do this for 1 to 5 mins depending on your level of sado masichism. Mix in some burpee bounds and sprints - vomit inducing fun! :D

I picked bag from floor and threw it up backwards over my head uphill for a 5 minute round and that was very hard. When you get to top of hill shoulder and run down hill and start again.

That sounds pretty easy to me. I will video myself doing it and put it on youtube.

I wouldn't put it past you Simon. You want to grunt when your doing it as well.

[simon bottler]

Grunting makes me stronger

I think there should be some kind of competition for the funniest spoof simon boulter training montage.
