I picked one up from a marketplace deal and it's been my favorite piece of equipment I own. The plate says it was made in 2009 so it's impressive that it only has a few cracks that will be easy to fill. It's a maintenance heavy piece but such a fun piece to have so it's worth it.

These things are really well built and are great for dampening deadlifts and dropping heavy sandbags, but they're just too solid for dropping anything overhead. I can stand on one and barely feel any give, but they've taken plenty of abuse and still look great. The price point is fair for the quality, but the lack of give makes it hard to love them.

Bought an empty keg off of marketplace and bought a bunch of sand an a 2" rubber end cap from the plumbing section at Home Depot. Used a cut up lemonade bottle and a plastic cup to scoop damp sand for a 150lbs keg so it took a while, but 100% worth it. Great training implement to get strong.

Long time sandbag training generalist, relatively recent strongman sandbag training enthusiast. Off rip, these are some of the highest quality sandbags I've seen. The build quality is great, and between the double velcro'd rolled enclosure, heavy duty zipper, then double massive velcro panels, I have zero concern that these would leak sand unlike a lot of other sandbags I've used.

Really high quality banner and not too obnoxiously large so it doesn't take over the wall. It gives me a reminder that big pecs cash checks and rent's due daily.

I used some 2x10s, a sheet of 2'x4' plywood, a garage pulley wheel and an old retired rock climbing harness to build a platform that I can use to thread the cable from my pulley system. It's kind of a pain to set up properly to get enough depth, but I'm the one who designed it so that's on me. But not a bad setup for $50 and an hour with a table saw and a drill.

They work great and feel very solid. Can be difficult to get on and off at first, but that just makes me feel more confident in their ability to hold whatever I throw at them.

These things are great for helping with golfer/tennis elbow tendonitis for cheap. I’m not a doctor, but I personally feel a massive difference in my elbow tendons, especially those attached to my forearms, after a few days with these.
