Powerbag® & the training associated with them has allowed sports-people & trainers from many different areas to really find out what functional training can mean & what results can be achieved when applied properly. Used by Elite performers across the world, Powerbags are finding their way into schools, gymnasiums & into the military. In essence Powerbag training unlike traditional weight training equipment utilizes the movement & instability within the system itself to create an element of unpredictability during lifting. This design feature forces the stabilizing muscles to accommodate to shifts in weight during the course of the movement. This helps to make Powerbag based training more effective than many training approaches towards improving performance in real world situations be they sporting or otherwise. We know the effects of training are fairly specific to the movements trained, & where outside of a gym do you lift a perfectly balanced piece of apparatus by its centre of balance?
