Spring 2013 (hopefully)
It has been downright awful this Spring in Calgary. We have had lot's of snow combined with cold and nasty weather for a majority of the Spring. Unfortunately that has dampened the whole "training outside" thing.
Today was cool but sunny and we managed to get outside to train some battling ropes in the field. Sport Sandbags make the perfect mobile anchor for battling ropes. No longer do you have to hunt down the nearest soccer posts or park bench. Even better, you don't need to worry about scuffing up or sullying your rope on some questionable anchor that likely acts as a urinal for the local dog population.

| Even a 25-pound bag works great as an anchor
Anyway, more to come shortly. We are very excited about our new combos that incorporate our leashes and new hip belts into a complete package....for a great price. Also, the long awaited "Battling Ropes Part II" should be out soon on our Youtube page.
Thanks for stopping by!

New video!
This video features hill and stair climbs using Sport Sandbags. With the growth of adventure races such as Spartan and Tough Mudder, there is a need for training tools than can replicate the demands of hill climbs carrying logs, rocks, etc. Sport Sandbags provide a consistent (and comfortable) load for hill training. Obviously you can choose your poison with weights ranging from 25-50 pounds. Our new re-designed SXL (100-lb) bags will be available later in the new year for those that want that extra challenge.
Stay in touch for more exciting developments!

New Year 2013
Happy New Year sandbaggers! As we all know calling someone a "sandbagger"can have negative connotations...... but around here it is somewhat of a compliment!
We would like to thank all of the athletes, trainers, and teams who have supported us over the last 5-years. We would also like to extend our gratitude to all the heavy duty operators out there (military, fire, and police) who have incorporated our products into their training regimens. We are proud and honoured to serve you!
We are excited for the road ahead and have many new things coming down the line for the New Year. 2013 will mark the introduction of our new multi-directional hip belt as well as the re-introduction of our HEAVY bags! We are also excited to showcase new athletes and training videos featuring our Sport Sandbag line-up.
We thought we should sign out with some pictures from the past year as we look forward with excitement to the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Sport Sandbags
That's all folks. Check back soon for new products, videos, and workouts!

Battling ropes
Battling ropes burst onto the scene a few years ago and have made serious inroads into most athletic training endeavours. Still, a lot of people wonder what they are actually used for? Ropes target a pretty specific need in an athletic training regimen and are used to develop muscular endurance and grip strength through the upper extremities. These movements are essential to various sports that rely heavily on upper extremity endurance like MMA, boxing, lacrosse, and hockey.
The advantage of using ropes is that they utilize the kinetic link between the legs, trunk, shoulders, and hands. All these elements are usually incorporated into rope movements which provide a full body blast and target the anaerobic power / endurance systems. Typical rope sets last 30-40 seconds and have you breathing hard by the end. In fact, you often wonder why you are so tired after just "throwing a rope around".
The problem I encounter with ropes is that there is not always a suitable anchor in the field. The ropes need to articulate off of a pretty stable point in order to be used effectively. Luckily Sport Sandbags have large, durable, loops which accommodate up to a 2"inch battling rope. This makes sandbags the perfect, portable anchor for field based rope exercises.
It is important to note that the bag used in this video is only 25-pounds! Despite it's light weight, it moved very little during filming. Our heavier bags work even better for this purpose.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks for Part II of our Battling ropes workout.
Cheers!

Durability
Just wanted to post some pictures of one of our 25-pound Classic sandbags that has been used heavily over the last 4-years. We take great pride in creating durable functional products that stand up to heavy abuse. This particular bag has been thrown, dragged, and dropped thousands of times!
Classic sandbag.....4 years and counting!
Loops and zippers are still holding on strong.
Seams are solid and ready for more pounding!
