What is a Bulgarian Bag?
The Bulgarian Bag is the ultimate fitness tool for both serious Olympic caliber athletes and the average fitness enthusiast. If you’re looking for a method of training that maximizes your strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular fitness, mobility, and overall explosiveness then training with the Bulgarian Bag is for you!

• The shape of the bag is designed to allow for both upper and lower body training while emphasizing grip strength at all times.
• The three different types of handles allow the athletes to execute exercises by using different grips.
• Every size bag and weight can be identified by the different colors of the strap handle.
• The Bulgarian Bag strengthens and increases your muscular endurance and overall shoulder and joint mobility.

Bulgarian Bags are perfect for a variety of unique exercises for every athlete and sport because they deliver extreme all-round fitness.

What are the benefits of training with the Bulgarian Training Bag?
The Bulgarian Bag strengthens and increases the muscular endurance of your grip, wrists, arms, shoulders, back, legs, rotational muscles, core musculature, coordination, proprioception, and overall shoulder and joint mobility. Similar tools with the same idea in mind, such as sandbags, rice, bales, sacks loaded with hemp, heavy stones and war clubs were all used for the development of strength by wrestlers and combat athletes long before the invention of the iron barbell.

Bulgarian Bags come in extra-small to extra-large sizes. They are manufactured by hand with pride in Bulgaria and built with the toughness and durability to handle everything you can throw at them. Most, if not all, of the exercises that can be performed with Kettlebells, dumbbells or barbells can be performed with the Bulgarian Training Bag. Athletes of every sport can benefit from the unique training techniques and solutions, which can be offered by training with these training Bags. Here are a few examples: Wrestlers and MMA athletes can use Bulgarian Bag training to develop quickness and agility with a “live” weight” that can be struck, thrown or used in ways that solid iron weights simply can’t. The Bulgarian Bags can also provide an excellent way to “warm up” or “cool down.” The Bulgarian Bag is an incredibly valuable tool for every person, and there is no doubt that just about any movement can be done with the Bulgarian Bags.

The Bulgarian Bags are available in 5 different weights. The recommended weight really depends on your current strength and overall athletic ability. Remember, there is a cumulative training effect with using the bag. Most exercises are designed for short rest periods, so don’t let the weight of the bag fool you. A medium bag at 12kg. is plenty of weight for even a 80kg conditioned athlete! Here are some sample guidelines:

Extra-Large Training Bag – 22kg.

• Recommended for physically well-prepared athletes with good strength and conditioning. This bag is identified by its brown straps.

Large Training Bag – 17kg.

• Recommended for athletes up to 110 kg. This bag is identified by its silver straps.

Medium Training Bag – 12kg.

• Recommended for athletes up to 80kg. This bag is identified by its red straps.

Small Training Bag – 8kg.

• Recommended for athletes up to 60kg. This bag is identified by its green straps.
