Other/Mixed Does it make sense to fill a Swiss ball with sand to create ~an atlas stone?

[Pasibrzuch]

As in the title.
Typical atlas stone is not apartment friendly. Very heavy (60kg+) slam balls are super expensive. Do you think filling a swissball with sand would be a functional and budget solution?

Why not just use a sandbag?

I bought a used gym bag at a thrift store for a few bucks and bought bags of sand from Lowes. All total the bag weighs a little over 100 pounds and cost 13.00 dollars total.

A Swiss ball might not hold up. An old Army duffel bag w. a liner and sandbag(s) is the old school go-to. I'd be careful about dropping it in an apartment though, especially If you have downstairs neighbors and thin walls.

What do folks use as a liner?
Thinking about going the duffle route soon.

I vote for sandbag too.

Odd duck here. Fill a Swiss ball HALF full of sand. Awesomely fun tool.

Cerebus sandbags are (compared to others of the same size) cheap and sturdy. I've got an atlas stone sandbag that I absolutely love that I could fill up to 300lbs if I needed to. I highly recommend it.

Rogue makes these molds that you fill with concrete for real atlas stones.

Old gym bag full. Wrap in 100mph tape ( one roll ). Will work for a few months before needing more tape
