The Army environment is renowned for being physically and mentally demanding, and hence the constant need to find new and innovative ways to keep the troops in top condition. The requirement for training aids to specific and functionable for the diverse nature of the Army needs, style of training, and products that will last the distance is essential. SPSS products have been trialed and tested and have come out with glowing endorsements from NZ’s best!
In particular, the Powerbags have proven themselves to be a highly beneficial functionable training aid,
with one elite squad’s head PT Instructor having this to say
–
“ …..powerbags are diverse, sturdy, and portable. They also depict a lot of specific apparatus’ that the soldiers use on a daily basis.”
And also,
“…….by using [SPSS Equipment] will increase the performance of the soldiers and enable them to effectively carry out their daily tasks with ease. I highly recommend the SPSS equipment and
XLR8® course to any organisation that is looking to enhance their performance. It is very specific to a lot of today’s functional movement patterns and is great for variety and excitement.”
As part of Corporal Davey Forbes Advanced PT Instructors Course
he completed a study to answer the following question – “Will local muscular endurance circuit training increase power?”. His choice of resistance was the SPSS Powerbag. Being a huge skeptic of new training aids, Corporal Forbes was impressed by the effects of Powerbag training to answer his proposed question. Here are some of his results –
All of the subjects combined (squat + bench) power output increased between 3.7% - 15%.
The SPSS Powerbag was easy to handle, not too bulky so all movement patterns could be preformed easily and safely.
The SPSS Powerbag was very durable as it was subjected to being puched and kicked at, thrown and slammed into the gymnasium floor for numerous repetitions for six weeks straight with no signs of defects or deterioration to the material that makes up the SPSS Powerbag.
In sum Corporal Forbes said –
“ [Powerbags] are a rugged and reliable training tool that would be a smart investment for any training establishment.” To read
