I've been wanting to add some sandbag workouts in, but can't find anyplace that sells anything other than the poly ones used in emergencies.
Anybody have a link to some place that sells sandbags made of cloth? Lifting oriented would be nice, since they'd be made not to leak, right?
Thanks.

Great!
I'd considered making my own, but not really a wiz with the ol' sewing machine.
This will be perfect!
Thanks!

I used heavy laundry bags I bought at the military surplus for $10. And filled them directly with sand and tied the ends up real good with the sinch strings then taped around them. Never had a leak or tear and did a lot of throwing and dragging with a 50 pound and 100 pound bag.

You could also buy them from an Army Surplus store, or make them from a proper duffel bag.
