Powerbag Exercises

by Duncan on May 18, 2011 in Bootcamp Equipment & Exercises, Powerbags with No comments

Powerbags are a great piece of functional training equipment.

By functional I mean the exercise applies loads to us that we will experience day to day in the really world.

Power bags do this precisely, the soft exterior of a powerbag allows you to be far less careful with the weight and literally chuck it from shoulder to shoulder and person to person.

Powerbags exercises

Powerbag squat

Firstly the powerbag Squat is the perfect introduction to weight training for any client. The powerbag fits comfortably on the shoulders and so allows the user to relax. The added weight of the powerbag will engage the Quads and glutes to perform the lifting. Unweighted squats allow poor technique and if the user is recruiting incorrect muscles unweighted exercises can allow these weaker muscles to continue doing the work.

Powerbag BOR

Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulder width, slight bend in knees. Bending at hips forwards keeping back straight. Lower bag with both handles and arms straight. Now as in a standard BOR Pull both arms to chest keeping elbows in.

Power bag Squat and shoulder press

Nice explosive exercises, which is also a very large compound exercise and so uses loads of muscles and energy. This is great for bootcamps or circuit training.

Start with the powerbag on your left shoulder, squat and as you power up with your legs use this momentum to perform a shoulder press and switch the bag to the other shoulder and repeat.

Kettlebells - if they don’t already train with kettlebells then 2 to 3 kettlbells will be enough for them to train most clients, I recommend a 8 a 12 and a 16kg kettlebell. Kettlebells really are a fantastic piece of equipment.

Powerbags are a great piece of exercise kit.

What is a powerbag?

Powerbags are tough padded Cylindrical bags filled sand, they have a strong handle on each end.

What makes the powerbag so different?

The padding allows the user to perform much more dynamic  exercises than with a solid hard object with sharp edges.

This makes powerbag training perfect for contact sports, because you are able to hold the powerbag close to the body and really grip it with your arms and shoulder.

Power Bags are a for boot camps, obstacles courses, rugby training and a lot of the forces use them for training including the Arm and RAF.

Size range of  powerbags:

Powerbags range from 3kgs up to 50kg, so there is a massive range to chose from.

They really are an excellent piece of equipment.
