I ordered sandbells for the gym. We’re primarily going to use them train kids, for grip strength, and also for slamming. Our med balls aren’t really made for that. Here’s a nice little workout above with a sandbell for adults.
I was initially turned off of sandbells because they were being promoted as an alternative to the kettlebell and they aren’t that IMO. Not even close. The right tool for the right job. They’re also being promoted as a replacement for barbells and dumbbells — again, a mistake IMO. I see them as being good the uses I outlined above. For heavier work, I’d recommend that people just use a regular sandbag and ours go up to about 120lbs.
Anyway enjoy them when they come in!
