As I rest up for tomorrows strongman contest I thought I would share an interesting article I came across this morning. I have several kettlebells, obviously, but I also have an Ironmind Sandbag that is collecting dust in my closet. I used to use it all the time until I moved to Calgary and bought a condo (no back yard!). Anyways, sandbag training is awesome and will make you stronger and more athletic. I would compare it more to wrestling than lifting weights though, as the weight is always shifting on you. There’s nothing wrong with that though, because as anyone who watches mma knows, wrestlers are damn strong!

Anyways, here is a link to the article. Check it out and pick up or make a sandbag if you think it is a training tool you could benefit from.
