What is the Bulgarian Bag ? A Functional Overview

[@prabpharm07]

I think, during spins, the bag should go at your back instead of just overhead rotation. Great work!

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

You can do both depending on goals , prior injuries and mobility level.

[@prabpharm07]

@@kettlebellmusclegain Have you also tried hydro core? What are your views on that particularly in terms if difference in movement patterns when compared to a Bulgarian bag? Thanks for taking time to respond.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

I have and aquabag ans aqua ball. Theyre fun but not as versatile Great for stabilization though.

[@faisalalsubaie1707]

I got tired watching it lol I’m excited to try it. Thank you

[@jonathandavila7412]

Nice. Thanks for the info

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Welcome

[@leomelvinfernandez7380]

Bulgarian bag come from a Bulgarian Sheep hearder tradition of showing off their strength by holding a sheep the front and hind legs. And swinging it around and putting it on their back and doing Squats , jumps and lunges , Sheesh , a Shepherd workout ,sound crazy, But I would love to See a Cotton-man strength Competition ( Instead of Iron-man competition ) 😂😂😂

[@dacicsak]

awesome! a lot of variations! thanks for this, i must buy a bag like that one!

[@cb2291]

I just got one

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

@nick maresca what muscles do you think it would pull?

[@jeffmoore4869]

I haven’t ever used this bag and looking to buy. Would you recommend the 26lb or the 37 lb to start. Their website suggests the 26. I have been using kettlebells for a while, light ones now because of a few heart issues. I do not want to over reach at the start

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Definitely 26.,perhaps even 17.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Youre right im exhausted all the tine.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

17lbs or 26 lbs are a good start for beginners.

[@michaelvigo6116]

Hey man, I really want to get my hands on one of these bags. Can you tell me what pound bag you are using in this video?

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

This is 26lbs. The first bag i ever bought.,still in in service at Swing This.

[@choccows]

which is better sandbag or Bulgarian bag?

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

I prefer bulgarian bag., to me much More fun.,

[@choccows]

Thank you@@kettlebellmusclegain

[@im4485]

i did this one for about 2 months. this is the 26 lbs one. Then i had to move to 37 lbs , because this first one felt too light.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Nice. So many ways to use the bag. I have a few other sizes now. This was a long time ago

[@steverocca7653]

Hey joe, what would be your two favorite weights for the Bulgarian bag? I was buying a 12kg and also wanted a heavier one.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

The 12 kg and the next up from that I think its 38 ir 40 ish.

[@steverocca7653]

Swing This Kettlebell and Strength Thanks brother. So 17 or 19kg. It’s amazing how far you’ve come and how much better you’re at talking to the camera from these earlier videos! Keep up the good work.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

I think I've never really been one to be flashy in front of other people but yeah confidence comes with experience I also need a new Bulgarian bag as I finally had to retire this 12 kg in one after 10 years of abuse if you take care of them and condition the leather and keep them clean they will last a very long time

[@steverocca7653]

Swing This Kettlebell and Strength Check amazon. I just got my 12kg for 146 shipped.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Is it from suples?

[@theredninja2817]

I should buy one or two of these before they all get bought up like the kettlebells

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Yep. Expensive but worth it. Just retired this one 6months ago. Had a good 9 year lifespan in a gym.

[@DOUBLE0SEVUN]

Check out Titan Fitness. Same exact thing but a lot cheaper! I purchased two bags. 25 & 55 pounds

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Not bad but as im in the industry and Have a good relationship with the makers, I support the originators due to their education and development. But yes get what you can.

[@DOUBLE0SEVUN]

​@@kettlebellmusclegain I agree. If I would go to a professional gym I would expect good equipment. But It's only me in my garage so it works just fine for me haha. Just wanted to offer a cheaper alternative. Sometimes the price of things can prevent us from getting started.

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Youre right I appreciate your input! Thabk you and ill add them to www.thekettlebelllocker.com

[@Avatheskibidiaplphadog]

How does this NOT pull a muscle?

[@mattm1192]

WARMUP a lot.

[@cesarperez2216]

You pull muscles from not warming up. And throughout your warm up, stretch all your muscles. Before you begin any kind of exercise, you should make sure that your warm up made you break a sweat. That should make sure you don’t pull anything

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Because I dont let it. ;)

[@jwesleygill]

Interesting yet funny video. Why didn't you wear work out clothes? I wouldn't have minded if you would have paused the tape between exercises to catch your breathe and speak clearly. Good job though!

[@im4485]

watch Coach Ivan Ivanov on how to rotate this bag. you are doing it wrong buddy boy

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

I have plenty. This is the way to go for my shoulders. My goal isnt wrestling.

[@Andrefitness]

Very bad rotation ( spin) no good tecnik

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Thhat is what my shoulder mobility allowed me at the time. Everyone is different and even that changes. Thats the beauty of a fluid tool to train with. Its not going to look the same with everyone. Thanks.
