Bulgarian bags

Bulgarian bags are versatile training tools originally developed for wrestlers but now popular in various fitness disciplines. These sand-filled, croissant-shaped bags are designed to improve your strength, endurance, and stability. They come in different weights, making them suitable for athletes of all levels.

The origin of Bulgarian bags

The Bulgarian bag was invented around 2005 by Ivan Ivanov, a former Olympic athlete and wrestling coach at the Olympic Training Centre in Marquette, Michigan. The inspiration for the Bulgarian Bag came from traditions in his native Bulgaria, where shepherds often carried weak lambs and goats over their shoulders while moving the herd. Ivanov adapted this idea to create an effective training tool that mimics the movements and strength of wrestlers.
