I splurged and bought the 26 pound one from Suples. I got the synthetic leather and saved a small amount of money. The thing is frankly awesome. It really taxes everything. Especially whe doing the overhead swings. Man your abs really feel it after a few swings.
I actually own 2 Bulgarian bags. The guy in California was really nice through the transaction and the video was pretty helpful. The straps as a safety precaution and the end handles come in handy from time to time. With that being said I am no stranger to making my own equipment. I can remember making my own ladder drills in middle school, cones and weight vest. Great video, great idea and totally useful. I can make several like this when the summer starts. Thanks a lot.

I've heard people say they have problems with the sand slowly spilling out and therefore I was thinking of using rubber mulch too. What exactly went wrong with the rubber mulch, was it filling up before you got the entire 30lbs in? Nice instructional video, thanks for sharing.
Just made my first one of these. I used a 19 inch inner tube bought in a tire store. I use only wood pellets and my bag turned out to be around 15 pounds. Too light for the long run but a great tool to learn the movements and I was able to get a great conditioning workout by swinging the bag for time. I promise, you will get tired before the bag does.
Hi. I have a couple of questions about your bag. I looked in the comments but no one seems to mention them: 1; What size tyre tubes did you use to make yours? 2; Didn't you find the tape to be slippery once you hand start sweating? Thanks.

How long do you train each time, and how long is good. I do about 6 exercises (5 reps per exercises) then repete for 15 min (amrap). I need some help here
I've seen several comments asking where to get the inner tube. I personally couldn't find it at any store. However I found it on amazon and ordered it. While youtube won't let me post the link, all you have to do is search martin wheel 23/850 and there should be only one result. I'm positive it's the exact one he used in the video. Hope this helps.

DUDE!!! That's good stuff right there. I've been wanting to put one of those together myself. Let me ask you this, though: did the duct tape cause any grip issues once your hands started sweating? I was thinking about using athletic tape (duct tape's totally underrated little brother).
@thebooraa I dont recommand any tape at all. I only have tape over the clamps/zip ties now, the rest is bare and i like it better, just grab the rubber and go
great video good shit im a make one myself but damm there are some humorous parts in ur vid like the mulch i knew off hand that was gonna be too light and the workout in the parking lot cracked me up when u started jumping up and down like a frog but I am professional so I understand.....but still kinda funny but good shit bro!
Now that's real manliness folks. "I ain't payin $300 for some damn bag I can build maself". "I ain't payin $500 for some round trip tickets when I can build a perfectly good plane outta some 2x4's and duct tape." "Ta hell with those doctors. I've got some JD, a bullet, and ma dad's swiss army knife. Who needs an appendectomy" This guy is a real man.
@Obsidian1392 did you hear or see anything about building muscle in the video? NO! not one word was mentioned about building muscle. This is for conditioning only. I didn't even promote anything. I didn't try to sell anything, I tried to save people money by suggesting a very cheap alternative to other expensive conditioning items. I got "muscles" from doing heavy barbell, dumbbell and bodyweight training with low to moderate reps. This is a great addition to your training if you choose it. thnx
@mwich40 calm the heck down. My sound isn't working so I couldn't hear the video. I just wanted to see it in action so I looked up a video on youtube. The time you took your shirt off looked like you were promoting it as a muscle building exercise also I've seen someone else say it is that's why I asked, sheesh
@Obsidian1392 I hate CLOWNs like you! If your sound wasn't working then why would you speculate on what the video was about, shut the F@(% up next time. "calm the heck down" , you just took a jab at a guy and you didn't have a clue what he was saying or trying to explain in the video. What did you expect??? I can only imagine how much of an arrogant, small pricked, self centered person you are. I dont even know this guy but reading your post made me waste my time to comment on your dumba**.
@mwich40 "haha, not really, you will get shredded thick slabs of muscle hanging off your body like meat cakes!" You just said that right up there you stupid asshole.
Thanks mate. Built it this evening... 16 kilograms of sand inside. Free punctered tire... total cost: 5$
Excellent complement to my 20Kilos and 12 kilos kettlebell and as it's flexible, makes me suffer much more than my 20kg kettlebell... excellent for explosivity
does this help you burn fat or build muscle? orrrrr both? :D cause im really trying to get rid of my lower body fat, and this training bag looks like it can do some serious progress on the body...
oh and where do they sell the inner tube at. i can't find it anywhere. not even at autozone! :O
originally saw this video last summer. ive made 4 bags. weve gotten a lot of use out of them. ive checked out your other stuff too. lot of inspiration, thanks man.
I had just heard of "bulgarian training bags" tonight on one of my forums. Being a do-it-yourself kind of guy, I applaud your clever adaptation of cheap stuff to do an expensive job.
This looks like a particularly useful training device, non-impactive and yet as intense as you'd like. I'll most likely be doing one of these as well.
Thanks for the inspiration. Gonna make me one or 3. Suggestion: weigh the sand/rubber mix and adjust to your liking before closing it up, and theres probably a way to fashion some rope into handles on the sides as well.
its been a while since you made this, but another thought would be to put the rubber bits in first, say 3/4 way full....weigh the bag, and add the necessary sand to get the final weight you want to achieve...
I love these bags! i made one about a week or so ago cause i watched a video on it. Been busting it out every day since! I train for MMA fighting and this is gunna be a great one for trainng my BJJ grip and strength for controlling my opponent!
I have made my bulgarian bag, but realized the inner tube was too small, so it got too light! So, I got another from the same size, assembled them togheter nice and tight, and now it rocks!! Thanks for the tips! I have made proper handles too! Thaks again!
I'll definitely try this out if I manage to get my hands on inner tube. Sand, duct tape and zip ties are easy to get, luckily. All in all, nice work. By the way, you're a beast.
Hey there. Great video. How much weight would you recommend for someone who isn't already completely ripped? Im just starting to work out and am what you might call weak. Or would I be better off starting somewhere else?
Just made one. Landrover inner tube, cable ties, black duct tape and builders sand. Weighs 26kgs (57lbs). It is murder but you really know about it. For squats and lifts it is great however for swinging around it is a bit heavy in truth. I would recommend 15 to 20kgs as a good start.
This is a brilliant idea, this looks like a great workout, im going to try it. Thanks for the content! I like kettle bells as well but the Bulgarian bag is better for some things.
Dude I'm bulgarian and I never hear anything about this sh1t bag or douchebag that manifacture it. Thou your lesson is cool I don't like the cheap tricks that put my nationality in bad light. Guess some f**n smartass that "wannabe rich in a day" did this crap.
@mwich40 Why don´t you do crossfit anymore? I do crossfit, but sometimes i think it lacks movements from one side to another, like the russian twist. These movements are important for throws. How do you train, whats yout take on my thoughts. BTW, thx for the DIY-Video!
I was looking for home-made kettlebells, but I think I'm gonna go to the hardware store right now and make this. Good video. Any other major exercises you do with the bag?
I just wanted to say, I really liked this idea. However, I am new to the exercise, so knew I wouldn't be able to handle anywhere near 50 lbs. What I did was go to my local bike shop and asked for any spent bike tire tubes they had, particularly those from mountain bikes. I made up a bunch of sand filled tubes with rope loops at the ends (held on my the zip ties). I use as many as I want depending on how much weight I want. Some velcro keeps them together in the middle so they act as one.
i finally made myself one (16kg) and it felt heavier than i thought it would be when i swong it. Don't rely to much on it when it comes to swinging and heavy duty jerks, but great for squat jumps, lunges and jogging in the forrest etc. (just how i felt it).
Just to let you know i bought a tube from tubesandtyres a uk internet site i used a 185 x 14 inner tube and filled with sand made it really easy and use it all the time cost very little to make
When you were doing the overhead swings, could you feel the tube stretching really bad? Also, what about a motorcycle tube with sand? i think it would be hard to find a car tube, since cars haven't used tubes since the 1950s.
um... what? All cars use tubes. They're called 'Inner Tubes', the are inside the tire, filled with air. And if they can support a 3000lbs vehicle, 50lbs of sand should be no problem
Have you ever changesd a car tire in the last 30 years? What do you drive? A Studabaker? Get with it and don't lie to people. Cars do not have inner tubes. Car tires are tubeless. The tube he is using is not a car tube but from a slow moving farm vehicle which still use tubes. Bicycles, tractors, old cars, offroad motorcycles, atvs, use tubes ... but not cars!
Between the air and the rim, you idiot! Quit bothering me and go ask any tire guy or mechanic when was the last time he put an inner tube on a car wheel.
I splurged and bought the 26 pound one from Suples. I got the synthetic leather and saved a small amount of money. The thing is frankly awesome. It really taxes everything. Especially whe doing the overhead swings. Man your abs really feel it after a few swings.

who plays triple A baseball, got ahold of it and used it in his preseason training
and he's really cranking the longball along with greater throwing velocity(infielder).
Considering the cost of making this thing , sports trainers are nuts not to have one.Thanks for the original post.

I have made my bulgarian bag, but realized the inner tube was too small, so it got too light! So, I got another from the same size, assembled them togheter nice and tight, and now it rocks!! Thanks for the tips! I have made proper handles too! Thaks again!

I'll definitely try this out if I manage to get my hands on inner tube. Sand, duct tape and zip ties are easy to get, luckily. All in all, nice work. By the way, you're a beast.

Hey there. Great video. How much weight would you recommend for someone who isn't already completely ripped? Im just starting to work out and am what you might call weak. Or would I be better off starting somewhere else?

i was just about to buy one too for $250+ ! but now ill make one for $20.

Just made one. Landrover inner tube, cable ties, black duct tape and builders sand. Weighs 26kgs (57lbs). It is murder but you really know about it. For squats and lifts it is great however for swinging around it is a bit heavy in truth. I would recommend 15 to 20kgs as a good start.

I just wanted to say, I really liked this idea. However, I am new to the exercise, so knew I wouldn't be able to handle anywhere near 50 lbs. What I did was go to my local bike shop and asked for any spent bike tire tubes they had, particularly those from mountain bikes. I made up a bunch of sand filled tubes with rope loops at the ends (held on my the zip ties). I use as many as I want depending on how much weight I want. Some velcro keeps them together in the middle so they act as one.

i finally made myself one (16kg) and it felt heavier than i thought it would be when i swong it. Don't rely to much on it when it comes to swinging and heavy duty jerks, but great for squat jumps, lunges and jogging in the forrest etc. (just how i felt it).
What you think?

When you were doing the overhead swings, could you feel the tube stretching really bad? Also, what about a motorcycle tube with sand? i think it would be hard to find a car tube, since cars haven't used tubes since the 1950s.

go to a farm supply store like "Farm and Fleet" or Tractor supply or Fleet Farm. I made my own and saved myself about 255 dollars
MrStitch105 2 years ago
um... what? All cars use tubes. They're called 'Inner Tubes', the are inside the tire, filled with air. And if they can support a 3000lbs vehicle, 50lbs of sand should be no problem
kawana87 1 year ago
@kawana87
Have you ever changesd a car tire in the last 30 years? What do you drive? A Studabaker? Get with it and don't lie to people. Cars do not have inner tubes. Car tires are tubeless. The tube he is using is not a car tube but from a slow moving farm vehicle which still use tubes. Bicycles, tractors, old cars, offroad motorcycles, atvs, use tubes ... but not cars!

... where do you think the air in the car tires is stored exactly?

Between the air and the rim, you idiot! Quit bothering me and go ask any tire guy or mechanic when was the last time he put an inner tube on a car wheel.
