My sandbag is set up quite compactly at the moment, like an Atlas stone, and weighs only about 150lbs but, as you say, just getting it off the ground is really hard! Glad you appreciated the article.

I put 250 lbs in it and just spent some time walking around with it. The amount of effort--even at 200--just to get it off the ground absolutely stunned me. This is absolutely my favorite and least favorite toy right now. It's so different than anything I've ever tried, and the effort it takes to move it around has to be experienced to be believed. Thanks for the article. That's what got me to make mine. Chris, I just made my first sandbag about three weeks ago. I put 250 lbs in it and just spent some time walking around with it.

I would be delighted to compare notes regarding sandbag training. As you've seen from my article, my approach is very simple - pick up the heavy sandbag, load the lighter sandbag. My approach is also "anyhow" rather than being technique-based. As I've mentioned before, I come from a swimming background so I am only slightly more useful than a penguin on land!

I am a HUGE fan of sandbag training as it really fits with my functional fitness approach and training. Strangely, I am also in the middle of writing a sandbag article, so perhaps we can compare notes when I publish... I tend a do a few more movements with the bag, particularly the clean and press that I belive to be the key functional movement. Chris, thank you for your article.
