The baddest of bad training tools.
For hardcore athletes only.

Warning: Not recommended for amateurs or anyone not ready to feel the pain.

Let's not beat around the bush here. Sandbag training is tough. It’s hardcore and aimed at those individuals that like to push themselves to the limit. If you’re not ready for this don’t go further.

OK, now we’ve got rid of the sissies let me tell you about Power Bags and how training with them can turn you into a hardcore machine.

Power Bags are awkward. They’re not like those perfectly balanced tools you’ll find in those pretty health clubs. They’re raw, ugly and darn right brutal to handle. They literally have a life of their own as the centre of mass continually moves and shifts as you try and tame it.

This means that you have to be on the ball to use them. You’ll be forced to integrate your whole body to keep the bag under control; your back, hips, grip and core will be screaming for a break in minutes. Power Bags give an intense and cruel workout like no other.

There are hundreds of exercises you can use for this old school device. Use it for conditioning or just pure strength. Lift, drag, throw, carry, squat or press it. You are only limited by your imagination. If you want to learn from a pro, pickup Brian Jones’ ‘Complete Sandbag Training Course’ for the most comprehensive book on sandbag training ever written.

Our Power Bags are built to last. Fill the inner bags with sand, close the end and you’re ready to go. You can load it with 10kg (if you’re a sissy) or fill it to the brim with 100+ kg of dead weight sand- we recommend using a courser grade of sand.

The Power Bag pack includes:

• One 60cm x 85cm sandbag made from very heavy duty nylon Cordura fabric. This fabric is rip proof and abrasion resistant.
• Eight 45cm x 75cm inner bags to easily load or unload your sandbag to your desired weight.
• Sand not supplied.

The Power Bag is the ultimate free weight and will give you a break from the tedious and often boring routines associated with gym training.

User Guidelines:

• For longevity of your Power Bag, avoid dropping from over head.
• The strap at the top of the bag is designed to choke off the bag, using the strap as a handle may compromise the seams of your Power Bag.
• Using gaffa tape to seal the inner bags will help prevent any sand leaking out.

Feel the burn bitches
Love this new tool in my kit. Use it for heavy lifting density training and you will definately feel it in the grip department.

Good Stuff
Got the sand bags, bought one for myself, one for the missus, looked at them when they arrived and went pfft what's this.
Ok bought 100kg of sand from bunnings , river sand, costs us about 40 bucks. Put 80kg in mine 40kg in hers and could barely move the bloody thing haha so i pulled 20 out of each bag , mine ended up wieghing in around 67 and hers 27.
Now 67kg , or 60kg on a bar is what i use when doing reps of 15ish... squats stiff leg dls bench and rows etc.
67kg in a sand bag is FREAKIN HARDCORE.
This is by far a phenomenal strength workout.
we do a full body routine , have done 3 training sessions thus far.
goes like this , super set DLs and bench (on the ground or off a step depending whether we go to park or train indoors), BO ROWS/SQUATS , and then to finish up we go for a clean and press. was aiming at 5x5 sets, depending how you hold the bag doing 5 squats is hard. my HR was upto 170 180 after most sets (with the exclusion of bench) and 3 sets was more than enough.
as far as doing bench with a sand bag, it's like peck deck flyes and presse's all at once. can pump out 8-10 reps but your chest REALLY works for those reps.
Squats are the same , if you rest the bag on your shoulder you get more work on either leg, if you hold it in the zercher position or bear hug grip it works your core alot more.
The whole workout is a core-o-thon and we're doing every 3rd day training now instead of every 2nd.
I highly recommend these to anyone who wants good results and wants them fast.
ALSO ... you NEED to buy some good gloves. these things absolutely destroy your fingers,especially the tips. check out a local disposal store for some light wieght multi purpose...
Oh and 1 more thing. The Clean is a beast of a movement that will take it out of you and if you throw in a press with it it's an absolute monster of a full body movement.
After yesterdays training i was spent.

Sandbag
At first look the sandbag seems nothings special but give me a 15 minutes workout and you will see what the big deal about it is.

As always another quality product from Australian Kettlebells! Quick delivery and easy to throw together what isnt easy is using the Sandbag. It looks simple enough but will smash anyone up regardless of athletic ability! Well worth a look
