Secret weapon

What is the secret weapon the Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders have been using to outwork, outrun, and outperform the opposition? Why it's simple......Velocity fitness sport sandbags of course.

When I first approached Mark Kilam, the Strength and conditioning coach for the Stamps, he was intrigued by the idea of using sandbags for strength and conditioning work. After putting his hands on a few he excitedly stated that they were the "perfect tool for doing strength and power complexes and would be awesome for football specific drills".

After some heavy use (how else do football players use things), Sport Sandbags have become an important component of the Stampeders' physical preparation. From strength and power work, to football specific training, the strength and versatility of Velocity Sport Sandbags have become an important training tool for the premiere team in the CFL.
