	Sandbag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sandbags are burlap bags filled with sand or soil, in an amount that a person can carry from where it is filled, to where it will be used.
		Sandbags used in fortification generally have dimensions carefully calculated so that the finished bags can be interlocked like brickwork, and are of such a weight as to maximise the efficiency of manual labour in filling and laying them.
		Sandbags are also used for disposable ballast in hot air balloons, and as counterweights for theatre sets.

		Sandbags are an increasingly popular tool for temporarily protecting oceanfront structures from erosion while homeowners seek more permanent solutions, such as beach nourishment or relocation of the structure.
		Sandbag projects must be monitored repeatedly to ensure compliance with size, placement and color requirements and to determine that bags have not deteriorated or have become a hazard on the beach.
		Sandbag projects are subject to time limits of two to five years, depending on the type of structure they protect.

		Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent overtopping of streams with levees, and for training current flows to specific areas.

		Old time strongmen used to lift heavy awkward objects like bags of grain, kegs, and barrels as part of their training and strength shows, and they were strong as hell.
		The reason sandbags are so effective is that they are big and bulky, and so lifting them and carrying them not only builds up muscle, but also strengthens tendons and other connective tissue, as well as bringing in more supporting muscles such as those of the lower back and waist.
		Sandbag carry - simply hold one or two sandbags any which way, and walk with them as far as you can.

	The sandbag experiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		At the moment the sandbag is dropped, the balloon is moving upwards at 10 m/s.
		The balloon initial speed is 10m/s; meanwhile, the sandbag while is still in the balloon, has the same speed of 10m/s; at that point, we can think of the balloon and the sandbag as one object.
		If for instance the sandbag has been dropped from the balloon, those standing in the balloon would feel the sandbag going straight downward with an initial speed 0m/s because in fact the relative speed of the sandbag to them is 0m/s.

	CSS Image Text Wrap Tutorial Part 2 - the SandBag <DIV>
		Sandbag divs are assigned specific height and width values according to the image area to be "wrapped." Floated sandbag divs are stacked using the "clear" property, and, with very little effort, it is quite easy to "channel" or wrap, text around even intricate background images.
		This is the grouping for the left side stacked sandbags: #sml-01, #sml-02, #sml-03, #sml-04, #sml-05, #sml-06, #sml-07, #sml-08, #sml-09, #sml-10, #sml-11, #sml-12 {float:left; clear:left;}.
		Determining the height dimensions of your sandbag divs depends on two key considerations; the first and most likely to be overlooked, is font-size.

	Crossfit.com discussion board: Sandbag C&J
		Stuart-The way you clean the sandbag may be what makes the clean/jerk awkward.When you clean a sandbag you must pull it as high as you can, then let go as you quickly drop underneath, then re-grab the bag for the press/jerk portion of the lift.
		I don't do clean/jerks with a sandbag, so I'm not sure how high I could go, but for clean/presses and shouldering, I'm only using a 105-pound bag for sets of 8-10 reps.I'm training more for muscular endurance at the moment, so I keep the weight light and use short rest intervals.
		For a rough guideline, I would suggest between 60-75% of the prescribed barbell weight.If you take a sandbag and a barbell, both of equal weight, the sandbag will always be more difficult to lift because the sand shifting around inside the bag is unstable, as opposed to the way a perfectly balanced barbell feels.
