IDK if you have been trying to buy weights recently because you are forced to workout at home.

But if you go on OfferUp and even Amazon. The price for weights has gone trough the roof!

I am talking about as high as $100 for a pair of 10pd dumbbells.

I hate it when people inflate prices and take advantage of others in need. So while I can't give you weights for normal prices.

I can show you how to make your own weights for less than $10!

Honestly F*CK all those people taking advantage of people in need. This crisis is showing the worse in everyone.

THE SOLUTION:

If you need weight to add resistance to your workouts...

MAKE SANDBAGS!

A bag of play sand (for kids) will run you about $5-$6 for 50 pounds at Home Depot

Buy 2 of those and you instantly have a 100 pound weight that you can use to add weight back into your workouts.

Or just buy one and put inside an old backpack & use it as a a "weighted vest" to add weight to your bodyweight workouts.

I personally have 3 sandbags:

1. One is 100 pounds inside a duffel bag
2. Another one is 50 pounds inside an old backpack
3. The last one I plan to make 2 x 25 pounds weights to add more variety to my workouts.

The cool thing about sandbags is that they are HARD to use!

They are unstable and will challenge your grip & stabilizer muscles like nothing else which will force your body to build new muscle to compensate for the difficulty.

I actually made a tutorial on how to make your own home made sandbag. You can watch the tutorial here so you know how to make it sturdy & lessen the chances of the sandbag ripping and leaking sand.

We are currently in a major crisis - You are forced to workout at home & many are not prepared but I am here to help you.

Bodyweight workouts + sandbags make for killer workouts (trust me you will have one of the best workouts of your life)

That's it for today - go make your own sand bag today & get those gains.
