Gunny Sack Hybrid Strongman Sandbag
Gunny Sack Hybrid Strongman Sandbag
A true hybrid strongman sandbag. Load up the Small & Medium sizes a 1/4-1/3rd full for a compound rotational/swinging tool (think Highland Games style hammer swing). Fill up 1/2 - full capacity for an awkward strongman sandbag. Great for carries, squats, cleans, deadlifts, pressing etc. The Large size is just an awkward beast. Best of all completely scaleable to your unique strength and fitness requirements.
Sizes:
S: (Most popular) Great for scaled down strongman movements but with the ability to fill with a good amount of weight. Fillable up to 63kg/138lbs. Amazing for two hand swings, swipes, hammer swings, pressing and many more movements when filled halfway or below. Great for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. Most of the strongman tools are far too bulky for some smaller stature people. For heavy rotational swinging movements and club/mace style movements I personally have mine loaded at 16-20kg.
M: Fillable up to approx 73kg/160lbs with sand. Can still be used for heavy two hand swings, swipes and hammer swings when filled half way or below. Still great for most people as can be loaded light or fairly heavy depending on your abilities. For heavy rotational swinging movements and club/mace style movements I load at 16-30kg. For scaled down strongman/stone style lifting I have it between 30-70kg.
L: A beast of tool. Just pick it up and move it. Fillable up to approx 82kg/180lbs with sand, a bit too big for swings between the legs but you can still fill it halfway or below and throw it over your shoulder….get squatting, lunging, carrying…..get creative. I personally like this size loaded between 45-80kg.
BACKGROUND ON THE DESIGN: I spent a lot of time on & around farms in Scotland as a child and seeing these huge sacks that were used to transport various items. It always stuck in my head & as I got into training I always thought that would make a very versatile training tool so here it is. Pretty much 30 years in the making….The Sandflail ‘Gunny Sack’.
Created to be the most versatile & travel friendly strongman style tool on the market. The shape is unique and lends its self amazingly for certain movements that the standard strongman sandbag doesn’t. I made them in different widths so that people who want to do scaled down strongman can do so with ease no matter your shape, size or fitness level. The shape when empty also folds up relatively small for travel, which is a must for me.
The system I created to close the Gunny Sack is very easy to adjust compared to other tools on the market. I get so annoyed with having to get through 3-4 layers of strong Velcro and a zip to change the weight. I want quick access so I can load quick making one tool so much more versatile.
Coming in at 40” long which you can fully load it to this length creating an unruly awkward tool or simply fill to desired weight, so versatile it’s unreal.
To secure the sand/crumb rubber/rubber mulch etc I supply industrial strength bungee cord. After filling simply tie off the Gunny Sack with 2 bungee cords (make sure they are decently tight), I then tie at handle opening with another bungee cord. Simple and way quicker to adjust than any other tool of this type on the market. I hated having to mess with 3 different layers of Velcro and a zip. I want all my training tools to be fairly easy to adjust and extremely versatile hence this creation. It’s a heavy kettlebell, club, mace and a strongman sandbag all in one.
The Sandflail ‘Gunny Sack’. Designed & Handmade in Scotland, UK. Utilising The best premium Military Spec Cordura™️ material available (actively used in the military & police force) DWR coated and water resistant, do not confuse this with cheap inferior material used in a lot of other products, the material I use is on a different level, tried and tested out in the field where it really matters. Dual layer Cordura & triple stitched with bonded nylon thread and an extra reinforced bottom seam for durability. Load it as little or as much as you desire. Can be used as a heavy club/kettlebell hybrid or as a strongman sandbag depending on how much you load it and which size you get.
The amount of material was chosen to be the perfect width to make great use of that handle, too thick and it’s too much, too thin and you can’t grip it as well. A lot of thought has been put into every aspect of this tool.
Does not come with any filling.
WARRANTY:
Two year sensible use manufacturer warranty. Do not slam these on the ground and excessive impact on hard surfaces is not covered in the warranty, it’s a material based product and even though it’s using the best material, any material based product will break or wear down over time if slammed or continually scraped on rough/hard surfaces. Normal drops and shoulder tosses are fine, I’ve never had one break on me.
