Setting up your bag can be strenuous - we like to view it as the workout before the workout. But you joined FightCamp for a reason and this is the first step in your fitness journey!
Step 1: Materials
Sand
Get 350 lbs of silica or basila sand. This can be purchased at your local hardware store.
Do NOT use play sand, moist or wet sand.
Funnel
Use a large funnel to speed up the filling process. This can be purchased online or at an auto shop.
Tape
Use duct tape to secure the funnel to the bag while filling.
Step 2: Filling the Bag Base
Unscrew the lid from your bag base and set aside. Use duct tape to secure funnel to base. Pour sand into funnel. Shake the base to evenly disperse sand. Continue process until base is full.
Heavy hitter? We respect that - add water on top of your sand to add an extra 100 lbs of stability.
Alternative Options
Water:
Water is convenient and will be easier to fill, empty, and move around the house. Your bag will be lighter at 250 lbs, which means it may move during your workouts.
Base Gel:
This can be purchased online. Pour 2/3 of the gel into the base of the bag to fill a high portion of the base with water, leaving a half-inch of room from the top. In 3–5 minutes the gel will absorb the water. Another benefit of this option is that you can always add more water back by adding salt.
Step 3: Attach Bag Top
WARNING: Do not hit the bag top until all four flaps have been fully secured, as this may cause irreversible damage. Hitting the bag before it’s been assembled will void the warranty.
Slide the white bag top down the middle of the base
Once the bag top has been lowered down the middle of the base, pull the flaps of the bag top over the lip of the base
When the flaps are secured over the lip, work the straps through the buckle. Ensure the straps are pulled tight to avoid bag top movement
Once secured, the velcro straps should be flush with the base. If there’s more than a 1/2 inch gap between the velcro straps and bag base, watch the recommended video and try again
