Say if I wanted a 180kg sandbag, how would it be done? Would there be a way to do this fairly cheap?

Thanks

Im guessing a builders yard, that sort of place. I've never heard of an ironmind one being filled anywhere near that

I take it this is to be used as garden furniture or something, cause your never gonna lift it or do anything useful training wise with it

It would be an extremely pointless object.

I'll bet a hundred grand your wrong. I've been lifting carpets for 10 years, they go to upwards of 400kg. Trust me, I'll lift it.

The biggest I've managed is 165kg and that's pretty damn full at that point. I use an army style duffel bag. In fact it's probably easier to attached a video of me arsing around with it.




If you want something heavier then you'll likely need to bulk it out with some heavier filling. Replacing some sand with steel or lead shot might be an idea.

Anyone else got any ideas? Maybe if you fill a big duffell bag with gravel and compress it down as much as possible an then duct tape it a f**k ton?? Or that be nowhere near?

So this is just sand?

This guy has the same style bag as me but he stuffs small plates into the centre of the bag to bulk them up. I've not had much success with this method as I usually end up getting a face full of metal.

You can lift a 400kg carpet?

Yes, well mostly, there's one gravel bag in there but it's the same size and weight.

I once lifted a 1000kg carpet, stuffed in a sand bag. Then went fishing.

Yes, though it's rare they go that much. I've done a 349kg for 10 reps just the deadlift part, obviously I'm meaning lifting one end here. I have also snatched a 187kg roll up then fingals finger walked it to the shoulder, span round 360 degree then ran it into the bay. I don't do stupid stuff like this often just if somebody challenges me and still most of the time I say no.
