AussieKettlebells's video: The Bulgarian Bag

Visit Iron Edge http://www.ironedge.com Bulgarian Bag Ivan Ivanov, acclaimed Bulgarian wrestler and strength-and-conditioning coach, discovered that the strongest men he came into contact with in his native country were shepherds. These men carried weak sheep and goats over their shoulders like a yoke as they herded their livestock through the mountains. Similarly, shepherds dominated the local strength contests at street fairs and carnivals which, incidentally, often employed live sheep and goats as the objects of strength. Thus, he designed his Bag to mimic the body of an ovine. The Bulgarian Bag is designed primarily to be swung, and differs from other implements of its kind in that it can be used to unite different movement patterns in the same exercise. Because it is soft and pliable, it can also be easily and safely added to bodyweight for push ups, squats, bounding exercises and the like, and will even lend itself to throwing and catching. Iron Edge now brings to you Ivanov's original strength and conditioning tool. The Bulgarian Bag gains its weight from individually sealed satchels of sand which are then wrapped in wool. The Suples Bulgarian Bag, however, is rigorously constructed of real leather by Eastern European hands (we're pretty sure this doesn't mean child labor) and comes wrapped up in the security of a 24-month guarantee. The Suples Bulgarian Bag; bought to you from a country where men are men, resistance training is unconventional and sheep are nervous. For more info ... http://www.kettlebells.com.au/store/
