Wrist Roller

Another simple one. Good for Popeye arms.

Ultimate Sandbags

Several new options for sandbags have been provided. The company calls the product the "Ultimate Sandbag" and we have purchased several options for varied size/weight. More information from the company website can be found here. http://www.ultimatesandbagtraining.com/

Each station has a total of 4 new bags.

• 2 "Strength" bags
• can be loaded with 20-80llbs
• 2 "Burly" bags
• can be loaded with 80-160llbs
• 5 filler bags
• each filler bag can hold up to 40llbs.
• currently, each station has 3 bags filled to 20llbs and 2 bags filled to 40llbs
• additional weight can be used from the old duffle bags which contain homemade weights ranging from 5-10llbs each

Use common sense with loading the bags, try new exercises with lighter weights until you are comfortable with your technique. The different sized bags allow for use with heavy loads, but also allow for a moderate load that is more dynamic as it shifts in the larger shell. Keep this in mind when you are selecting a bag for your workout, as it can add to the dynamics of your training, but if you aren't prepared can also be a safety hazard.

Below is one of the introductory videos for the USB that was provided by DVD with the kit. The rest of the clips will be up ASAP.

This one isn't so exciting, but it's plenty difficult.

 

 

Introduction to new Equipment

In an effort to keep everyone informed about the new equipment that has arrived, information will be posted on the main blog page for staff to review. A post on the battle ropes and prowler sled has already been posted (see below).

Please take the time to go over the articles or review videos when they are provided, as this will help ensure everyone is following the same safety guidelines while getting the most efficient methods of use out of the new equipment.

Thanks for checking back regularly, hopefully this will help in decreasing the amount of extra emails in your inbox, and will also allow for quick reference while in the gym away from the corporate PC.
