I got my sandbag from the Army supply store we have in town. I think I paid $10 for the duffle bag and he also sells the filler bags that hold up to 50 pounds for $1 each. I can load mine up to 300 lbs for carries, loads, etc.

I also got my tow strap for my sled from there...I think it was a whole $6.

I love that store!!

sweet. ill have to check that out..

the recipe for the gravel bag..

box of contractor bags - mine is 42 gallon heavy duty
bag of sand or gravel (gravel not as messy) roughly 40-50lbs.. didn't say on bag so i estimated..
duct tape

dump sand/gravel in bag and wrap up
duct tape to hell
profit.

pretty cheap and i have plenty of materials left over.. once this bag dies i can toss it in another and duct tape again for more fun..

the cherry limeade tastes like the what-a-burger cherry lemon sundrop.. so full of win.

My 50 pound bag is pretty similar to your's mort.
I took an old excercise ball, poured sand in, then applied tons of duct tape. Then threw it in a duffle bag.

**FrmrHoss** · 03-22-2012, 06:12 AM

I've got vids of all Matt's stuff that I will try to get uploaded tonight. He smoked the 405 deadlift, like I expected it to be a little slow/grindy but it was just straight up no fuss.

Glad to see him making such great improvements close to the meet.
Hopefully everyone gets some good PRs

Did he quit with the 30 second air hump over the bar??

(I'm speaking to you like this isn't his log and he won't read it

)

He did. 5 seconds over the bar, tops. Looked better than his prior rep at 365.

Squat = looked good and fast

Bench = monstrous as always

Dead = 10X better than your last vid AND looked easier @ +40 pounds

**FrmrHoss** · 03-23-2012, 11:02 AM

Yeah, he wanted to stop after that rep @ 360 on squats. I told him it was wayyyyyy too easy to not go for 370.
