Bulgarian Bag Training

First of today's mini sessions starts with the incredible Bulgarian Bag.

Today I chose to use a 12kg bag as grip is a little fatigued due to carrying lots of heavy kettlebells in the last few days for boot camp.

Warm Up
Forward Bends, Side Bends, Good Mornings, Presses, Halos, Squats, Groinals, Hip Flexor Stretches, Rows all done with the bag  - 10 minutes total.

Power Snatch / Lateral Arm Throw Sequence
Perform:-
10 Power snatches, 5 side lateral arm throws to each side, repeat twice non stop
Rest 90 seconds, repeat 3 times total.

Round time 1 min 50 each time.

Bulgarian Bag Spin
10 Spins each way repeated twice non stop (40 spins total)
Rest 45 seconds
Repeat twice more

10 spins each way, repeated 3 times non stop (60 spins total)
Rest 60 seconds

10 Spins each way, repeated 4 times non stop (80 spins total) - needed to reset grip with bag on shoulders.
Rest 90 seconds

10 Spins each way, repeat 3 times non stop, (60 spins), drop bag, shake out hands, 10 each way again, drop bag, shake out hands, 10 each way again for a total of 100 spins and hands that no longer grip!

This was a tough session and it needed to be - the weight is not a problem, grip endurance is.

The last set of spins required a great deal of will power to keep going as my hands were just so fatigued and painful.

Great little session........40 minutes total.

More to come later.
