Sandbags

Buying guide

Sandbags buying guide

Strongman sandbags create a different handling task from a barbell or handled bag. Compare the 45kg, 70kg and 90kg Solid Strength models around the movements you plan to practise, your experience with bags and the room available for filling, training and storage.

Choose the bag for the lift

Think about how you will pick up, hold and carry the bag. Its physical size matters as well as the intended load, especially when moving it from the floor or carrying it against the body. Use a familiar bag-handling load as your reference rather than assuming a barbell weight will feel the same.

  • Review the chosen model's dimensions and filling guidance
  • Plan a clear pickup and put-down area for your intended movements
  • For shared training, consider whether different users need separate bag sizes

Put the filling plan on the checklist

These strongman sandbags are supplied empty, so allow for suitable fill and time to prepare them. Follow the product instructions for the internal filler bag and closure system; do not put fill directly into the outer shell. Check the filled weight rather than relying on the model name. Keep the fill dry and free of sharp debris, and inspect closures before use.

Frequently asked questions

Do the strongman sandbags arrive filled?

The listed Solid Strength strongman sandbags are supplied empty. Fill is a separate part of the setup. Check the product page for suitable materials and follow the internal filler-bag instructions.

How do strongman sandbags differ from power bags?

The strongman range is intended for handling the bag itself. Power bags use handles and have a different shape. Choose the format that matches your planned holds and movements, rather than comparing weight alone.
