I've recently managed to acquire some space where I can train a bit and get back into shape but, I'm lacking the funds as I'm sure plenty of people are now.

So, I've gone about making a heavy bag by filling an army surplus kit bag with shreds of clothes, which I was assured by another website would be enough weight, if I packed it tightly, to make the bag weigh 70-80lbs.

After having packed about 1/6th of the bag, very tightly, I'm starting to doubt the weight of the final result as it only weighs 8ish lbs so far.

Also I found sources informing that the best way to fill a bag is to line it in foam, place a bag of sand at the bottom, wrapped my many other bags to prevent breakage and then stuffing the top with tightly packed shredded clothes again.

So, if anyone has made a bag, or at least knows of the best way to stuff it I'd be greatly appreciative of any info

Thanks guys
