These sandbags are a failsafe option if you're looking to invest in a set for home use. You get a variety of weight options, as each of the six bags is 10 pounds, so you can add or take away weight as needed. The training bag itself is versatile and can be used for weight lifting, front squats, bend over rows, or you can even run with it on your back.
If you're new to using sandbags, this set is a great place to start. You'll get six sandbags (four to use, two for backup) that can each hold 10 lbs of sand, so your weight options will be between 10-40 lbs depending on your fitness goals. You'll also get a versatile training bag with multiple grip options, and everything comes in under $60.
Prefer free weights to a training bag? It's still possible to use them with sand. These free weights come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 2 lbs to 50 lbs, so you can stock up on the sizes you think you'd use most. Best of all, these ship with sand already in them, so it takes the dirty work out of it for you.
We love that this training bag has a universal fill option, meaning you're not limited to sand. If sand isn't accessible to you or you just want to switch it up, you can fill this one with water. The bag is completely leak-proof and can be filled with 30 lbs of sand or 40 lbs of water.
These sandbags don't mess around. If you're looking to lift heavy, this is your best bet. Choose between 100, 150, and 200 lb bags made from strong nylon codura construction, so they can easily withstand drops. They're multi-functional, easily portable, and have built-in filler bags so your training bag doesn't get dirty in the filling process.
