I actually just recently did this but with 2 50lb bags of cat litter, and no contractor bags. I just duct tape'd the heck out of them. the pea gravel would have apparently been cheaper though.
3:30 For the record, nowadays this'll cost more. Just went to the store; - Pea Gravel was $4.68 each - Contractor Bags were $27 for a 30 pack of thick, 7 Mil bags - Duct Pro tape was same specs as Gorilla (saw no extra wide) and was ~$7 vs Gorilla ~$10 All in, ~$37 to make the one bag, though cheaper as you make more since contractor bags ate up the most cost. Still way cheaper than buying a Cerberus bag for $90 online. You either pay in time or money.
Ok since my last store heavyduty strongman sandbag ripped within a few months i will have to try this. Is it really strong enough with just the duct tape? Or is it cheap enough to replace when it breaks? I don't have that much money and i need something that will last. The price is indeed amazing compared to store bought.
Updated: i got the materials today for around 25 euros here in the netherlands. I did not try it out yet besides lifting it and it allready feels way more durable then my last " special " online crossfit sandbag. I almost bought another one online with the canvas bag, tie wrap, ring and ball method. For 80 euros... but when i asked if they could tell me if it was durable... all they could give me was the websites info... hoping the selfmade one will last. It was fun making it 😃👍🏻
why ....why dear lord is everyone's stock youtube music so much louder than the dialogue !??!
My wife and I just made this thanks to your video. Sandbags is something new im trying out and its pretty fun so far.
A blend of Sanbags+barbell workouts would make an ultimate training ever😎💪
You could even make handles. Wrap loops around bag make maybe 10 loops per handle then stuck duct tape to the handle area so its not sticky.

Nice!
Excellent video!
Thank you 🙏🏿
Instead of using a bunch of duct tape do you think buying a roll of stretch wrap and using that would be more cost efficient and sturdy?
Sure! Great idea. We've never done it, but it sounds like a great solution. Thanks!
@@badgercrossfit amazing thanks for the reply
Thank you brother
Yw!

Dude you're making that look like 20lbs. Nice work.
The goal was just to show how to make. But thanks man!
That’s cuz they are lol😂
Great idea!!
Thanks Cain!
But it doesn't have handles :(
That's the point ;)
Add a strap and go length wise for a handle and one could do farmer’s walk 🤙 as well
Well there you go! The creativity is endless! Thanks for the idea!

Great video 👍
You could use an old duffel bag with this and make it even better
100%. Good idea!
"dont good cheap on this one" goes with cheaper option
Lol! yep, I noticed that after. I meant cheaper tape of the premium stuff, not the crappy, cheap, generic grey standard duct tape.
Wouldn’t be easier put the pea gravel bag into a backpack???
It could. This is one of many ideas. Play around with it.
This was an awesome idea and should have more views
Thanks Mark! :)
“Don’t go cheap on this one” proceeds to buy the cheaper option… 😂

Don't like too be a critic but careful with your deadlift, that's how you blow a disk out your back
his deadlift was fine.
I've been teaching and doing it many, many years. We good sir!
