Sandbag Training

Wrestlers and Sandbag training have a long tradition. Here Denis McNamara, British wrestler (and policeman), is shown doing lunges or carries with a good size sandbag on September 23, 1964 while in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics which would take place a few weeks later. McNamara ended up finishing fifth in Tokyo despite fracturing his thumb during the competition.
