What are Bulgarian Bags?

They look like big leather croissants but far from being a ludicrously large delicious snack, they're a very versatile tool for strength and conditioning, all over muscle development, grip endurance and mobility. Around the world competitions are held to give fans of the bags something to train towards and the opportunity to rank themselves against others.
