A Power bag looks like a cross between a sports bag and a punch bag used by boxers. They have two straps in the middle, some also have straps on the end for wide grip exercises and a strap in the middle for carries.
Made from leather or plastic and filled with sand, gravel or heavy material – they range in weight, starting at 10kg’s and increasing in 5kg increments all the way up to 50kg.
They’re great for indoor training because unlike iroon weights, they can be thrown and dropped without damaging the floor or harming other gym users.
They’re also great for outdoor training as they can be transported easily and don’t require much space when transporting.
Power bag and sandbag training differ from traditional strength training tools like dumbbells and barbells because they can be used to shoulder the weight unilaterally. This style of training carries over into real world strength because everyday activities like carrying a young child or bag of groceries challenges the body to work unilaterally.
Sometimes we avoid some beneficial barbell exercises like the Olympic lifts because of their complexity and the amount of time it takes to coach.
Complex barbell exercises that require much coaching and explosive exercises that will challenge your stability and core can be performed far easier with a Power bag.
Power bags can be dragged, thrown and carried which is very beneficial for wrestlers, rugby players and people looking for a challenging workout.
They are relatively cheap to purchase, require no specialized equipment, are easy to learn and are very safe. They can also be applied to a very large demographic without concern for safety or previous lifting experience.
