Brute Force Athlete Sandbag, Adjustable, Weighted Heavy Bag, Workout Equipment for Home Gym, Strength Training and Weight Lifting, Sandbags for Working Out, Made in USA, Black, 25-75 lbs

Bought this for working out to condition myself in functional fitness. Only fill it with sand if you plan to use it outside, because it kicks up sand dust inside the house when you use it. I replaced the sand with pea gravel in the included bags and put tire shred mulch around those bags to provide some cushion if I drop it on the floor or on my feet. It weighs approximately 75-76 pounds like this.The bag is sturdy and the handles allow you to use it at many different angles and exercises.Overall, I am very happy with it, but wish it was a little bigger because I really wanted bag weight of 100 pounds so I can do the Szatstrength or Brute Force Training bag routines.

What can I say?! Full body exercise equipment, two bags for sand (I was able to fit 73 LBs all in, divided between the two bags). It is a tight fit for the two bags. Sturdy, and the handle designs are intuitive. It's a great product, perfect for the price. These things don't come with sand, but Home Depot can remedy that for you. I use it everyday, usually after a heavy weight session. Motions: Kettle bell, squats, presses, rotate swings...it's great. It's very versatile and you'll probably use it every day. I've only had it a month and I don't see myself stop using it. Getting the wife one now, as she is super jealous :) Stop reading this and buy one already!

Quality: Well designed and rugged. Have been tossing the olive green one around in the grass and such for a few weeks and haven't noticed any staining or rips/snags. I drag it through the grass doing bear crawls/spidermans, throw it around like a medicine ball, hoist it over my head in power cleans, etc. None of the stitching is having issues. All seams are well reinforced and stitching is top notch.Workout: This product is great! As the sand shifts it causes you to use your stabilizing muscles and adjust on the fly. You can curl it, throw it, drag it. Put it over your shoulders and lunge with it. Carry it and run with it. Extremely versatile and heavy. I used to work out heavily but life pulled me out of the gym. I put fifty pounds of sand in this and spend about 30-60 minutes 3/4 nights a week outside working with this. The girlfriend wants the smaller bag and has had fun using this product with just the small bag in it (not ideal as the bag is really loose and floppy, but it would work long term if you need two styles and are on a budget.)

If there was a word better than awesome then it would apply too! I have used other sandbags before and none of them can hold a candle to Brute Force. The quality of the bag is second to none and everything about it is tier 1. It is rugged as heck and inspires confidence in it as soon as you start beating on it and yourself. The handles are comfortable and placed perfectly, the materials and stitching are solid and it is sized just right. The filler bags are equally of high quality and fit perfectly into the bag itself. This bag feels almost indestructible, unless you drag it down the street behind your truck or set it on fire, it is going to last for a long time. It may cost a few dollars more than some other bags but is worth every cent and you get what you pay for. Good gear is not cheap and cheap gear is usually not good! The customer service at Brute Force is equally as impressive. I had a minor shipping issue and with one call Brute Force attended to and took care of the issue immediately. No phone trees, no unanswered messages just prompt assistance. Can't thank Brute Force enough not only for the great service and the great gear but also for their unwavering support of our Military, Law Enforcement and Fire Fighting circles!!"Train with Sand!!" "Pray for peace.....but prepare for war!!"

The whole notion of sandbag workouts is a revelation. And the Brute Force Athlete Sandbag is a fantastic expression of that revelation!! Having worked out with Garage Fit sandbag, which is a pretty nice product, I had a bit of basis for comparison. I chose the Brute Force based on the nature of some of the reviews, and also some of the design features (and yes, I'm provincial enough such that it being a Colorado product was a factor in my purchase decision, albeit a minor one). When it arrived it was OBVIOUS that it was an extremely well made bag - both the main bag and the sand bags themselves. The velcro on the sandbags is in itself an "olympic event" just to get them open. That is extremely important, of course, because their ability to retain the sand is hugely important. I have worked out with the Brute Force Athlete Sandbag twice, and it is AWESOME!! The different handle types, and their different placements around the bag make this an extremely versatile workout tool. You will not be disappointed with this product. The quality of the materials and the workmanship is truly outstanding.

Great product. I have a weird work schedule during the month of August which makes it hard to get to the gym. I've been keeping this in the back of my car and getting it out anytime I can get a workout in. Here are my thoughts:Pros:It's tough - a month of punishing use often on concrete and still looks brand new.Easy to switch weights - so it can be 25-50-75lbs depending on what I want.Lots of handles so there are lots of potential movements.Handles are a great size and soft - I don't do really long workouts (20-40min) but my hands don't get too sore from the handles.ConsIt's more of a wish than a con - but wish there was more variation possibilities in weight - my wife would like to use it but the jump from 25-50 is too much for some movements.Overall - a great bag at a great price. You get what you pay for and this is an overall fantastic bag.

It's going to be tight fitting 75 lbs of sand into this bag; I was able to get 66 lbs in, but it's not going to fit another sandbag, so I guess my only option is pouring in sand to fill the cracks.Otherwise the bag has been good; seems to be holding up well.

good quality and perfect for my needs!
