Dead Weight Deck (With Sandbag)

The Dead Weight Deck is a brutal full body sandbag workout built to develop real strength, power, conditioning, and grit.

This bundle includes the complete 70 card Dead Weight Deck and your choice of a 40 lb or 60 lb Death Fitness sandbag. Together, they give you everything you need to turn your garage, backyard, gym, or driveway into a full body training ground.

Shuffle the deck. Draw a card. Complete the movement and rep count. Keep going until the deck is finished or the weight finishes you.

No complicated programming. No standing around wondering what to do next. Just you, the bag, and 70 cards of dead weight.

20 Lower Body Cards

120 total reps

They won’t.

The Death Fitness Sandbag

Choose between a 40 lb or 60 lb sandbag based on your strength and training experience.

Each sandbag is built for hard functional training and includes:

Heavy duty Cordura nylon construction
Commercial grade double stitched seams
Seven non slip handles for multiple grips and positions
Dual Velcro secured inner filler bags
A flexible shape that shifts as you lift, carry, throw, squat, and press

Sandbag Size

40 lb Sandbag: Approximately 23.6 inches long and 8.3 inches in diameter

60 lb Sandbag: Approximately 23.6 inches long and 9.4 inches in diameter

The sandbag ships unfilled. Sand or other filling material is not included.

The 40 lb option is more manageable for newer athletes, higher rep workouts, and faster conditioning sessions. The 60 lb option is built for experienced athletes who want a heavier strength and endurance challenge.

Choose a weight you can control with proper form. The workout gets harder with every card.

Do You Need the Sandbag?

The Dead Weight Deck was specifically designed to be used with a sandbag.

The shifting weight, flexible shape, and multiple handles force your body to stabilize the load differently than it would with traditional weights. The bag can be held against your chest, carried on your shoulders, squeezed between your hands, thrown, pressed, curled, rowed, and moved through different positions.

You can substitute dumbbells, weight plates, or other weights for many of the strength exercises, including squats, lunges, rows, curls, presses, and chest presses.

However, it is not ideal.

Some movements, including Bag Throws, Over the Shoulder Throws, Bag Squeeze Pushups, and Burpee Hop Overs, require a sandbag or will need to be modified. For the complete experience, use the deck with the Death Fitness sandbag included in this bundle.

How Does the Dead Weight Deck Work?

Shuffle the cards and place the deck facedown.

Draw one card at a time and complete the exercise and rep count before moving to the next card.

Work through the entire deck for a full body sandbag workout, divide the cards into shorter sessions, or compete against friends to see who can survive the most cards.

Because the deck is shuffled, the order changes every time. You might get a break between movements, or you might draw five squat cards in a row.

That’s not bad luck.

That’s the workout.
