Sandbags sandbags sandbags…we’ve all seen them and we all know someone who swears by them, but have you ever really tried a sandbag workout? A true sandbag workout, with a sandbag designed for the rigors of an actual workout?
Today we shine the spotlight on one of our favorite accessories in the gym, the Ultimate Sandbag as developed by Sandbag Fitness Systems. The Ultimate Sandbag is the end result of countless revisions and modifications to “homemade” sandbags that had previously been used, always messy and often times painful; the homemade versions left the user miserable, covered in scrapes and sometimes blood.
The Ultimate Sandbag, which includes handles both on the top and along the sides for better grip and workout diversity, is virtually mess free with no sand spillage at all due in large part to the internal “bladders” that contain the sand, plus, being made of nylon the bag is both durable and very comfortable to hold. And if I just may elaborate on the internal bladders for a second. When I discovered the bladder system I had one of those “why didn’t I think of that” moments. The bladders make the switch from strength training to conditioning training a synch, just unzip the bag and either remove or add a bladder. So simple yet so effective!
I think one of the biggest reasons I love the Ultimate Sandbag is because it’s a perfect compliment to the workouts we do at Punch; they’re one of the few non-kettlebell instruments that can fill in almost perfectly for a kettlebell. One advantage I think it has over a kettlebell is that the sandbag constantly shifts and moves while you lift, making it impossible to get into a "groove" like you could with a kettlebell. Keeping movement of the interior bags makes the shifting sandbag a constant challenge to lift and makes every repetition different.
