[0069] As used herein, expansion refers to the increase in the bag's internal volume, which may correspond to an increase in one or more dimensions, including but not limited to the effective depth of the bag when subjected to internal weight or loading.

[0070] The term bag assembly referenced as element 100 as used herein refers to the combination of the main body and any attached or integrated components such as panels, in particular a front panel, a rear panel, a peripheral panel, the peripheral panel refers to any portion on or near the boundary of the main body, one or more surfaces, torso support members, handles, fasteners, removable rollable surface(s) access configurations, pockets, compartments, weight straps, cavity hole(s), connectors.

[0071] The present disclosure relates to bag assemblies, hereinafter referred as a bag assembly, configured with various access configurations, offset members and attachment features to suit specific operational needs. In some embodiments, the bag assembly incorporates an outer compartment for additional storage, while in others, this feature is omitted to maintain a streamlined profile. Similarly, certain configurations feature a detachable surface to enable rapid reconfiguration, while others maintain structural continuity for maximum durability. The addition of an access flap in select embodiments represents another optional access configuration within the same inventive framework, providing an alternative entry point to a compartment when the primary access method is impractical.

[0072] The bag assembly configured to accommodate weighted objects and/or fillable materials in one or more compartments via one or more access configurations for resistance for carrying, shoulder carrying, hand carrying, dragging and mounting on external support structures. Specifically, one or more surface assembly of a panel configured to conceal one or more removable or fixed torso support members, offset members, handle members, at least one compartment to accommodate internal weight distribution when carrying and/or dragging the bag assembly for resistance.

[0073] FIG. 1A illustrates a bag assembly 100 in a front perspective view comprising a handle assembly 1014, removable fastener strap assembly 29, wherein the removable fastener strap assembly 29 are operatively secured to at least one peripheral panel 1004 and extending to at least one opposing peripheral panel, the removable fastener strap assembly 29 further comprising a glider 1018, wherein the glider 1018 comprises at least one layer of fabric further comprising at least one securing mechanism such as a hook and loop fastener configured to selectively retain excess strap 1016. The handle members 1014, 1015 are referenced as a whole, wherein the base and additional features such as offset members 2008 and securing elements 2009 are listed separately, however maintaining its function and intended purpose, for grasping. In operation, when the bag assembly 100 contains a substantial amount of weight in the compartment, the removable fastener strap assembly 29 is selectively positionable at an increased distance from the terminal portion of the removable fastener strap assembly 29, and when a minimal amount of weight or substantially no weight is disposed within the compartment of the bag assembly 100, the removable fastener strap assembly 29 is selectively positionable in proximity to the fastener 2010 on at least one peripheral outer surface 1004 to reduce the effective length of exposed fabric, thereby maintaining the removable fastener strap assembly 29 in substantial adjacency to the bag assembly 100 with minimal displacement.

[0074] FIG. 1B illustrates a bag assembly with an outer surface of a fixed rear panel 1005 comprising at least one layer selected from a group consisting of rubber, latex, petroleum, and functionally equivalent minerals with at least one layer of water-resistant coating selected from a group consisting of chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) synthetic rubber (CSM), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), PVC tarpaulin, and combinations thereof, and materials selected from a group consisting of metals, aluminum, silver, copper, and alloys operatively secured by at least one layer of adhesive and stitching disposed on and circumferentially about the peripheral panel, internal surface, and outer surface, in any combination thereof. In certain implementations, the rear panel 1005 may be disposed in a slightly elevated configuration relative to adjacent surfaces, the elevation being dependent upon the quantity of layers and corresponding thickness established during manufacture. It is to be understood that a rear foam surface can comprise substantially similar or identical elements and construction when manufactured.

[0075] It is understood that the rear panel 1005 is configured for high-impact slam exercises and dragging activities, which will be described in subsequent embodiments. However, a bag assembly 100 can be constructed and manufactured with a single layer of PVC coating and/or PU coating to be selectively dragged across particular surfaces.

[0076] In certain embodiments, the outer surface of the rear panel 1005 of the bag assembly 100 is manufactured with an overlapping configuration circumferentially about the peripheral panel 1004 of the bag assembly 100. Optionally, prior to manufacturing, at least one side of the peripheral panel 1004 of the bag assembly 100 may incorporate at least one additional layer configured for dragging workouts, which will be explained in examples.

[0077] The frictional characteristics of the rear panel 1002 enables the bag assembly 100 to decelerate to a stationary position when a user completes an exercise on any surface, the deceleration being relative to the composition of fabric and coating disposed on the rear panel 1002. This particular functional feature and method could potentially cause a user to experience disruption in smooth-running form, and potentially cause apparent injury if the bag assembly 100 were to displace the runner in a non-optimal direction, or fail to decelerate when the runner ceases running.

[0078] In certain embodiments, at least one layer of a rear panel 1002 comprises ballistic nylon and/or functionally equivalent bulletproof textiles for combat training. For example, a user can operatively position the bag assembly 100 as body armor. The bulletproof rear panel 1002 can provide protection to a user, thereby functioning as a body shield. It is to be understood that at least one layer of ballistic nylon and/or bulletproof fabrics selected from a group consisting of synthetic fiber, Kevlar, and functionally equivalent materials may be disposed around the durable surface and/or the entirety of the outer surface and/or internal surface of the bag assembly 100.

[0079] In certain implementations, the primary fabric composition of the entire bag assembly 100 comprises at least one layer of a rear panel 1002 configured for intensive activities.

[0080] In certain implementations, during initial manufacturing processes, at least one layer of the rear panel 1002 is seamless, smooth and substantially flat configured in an overlapping arrangement of at least one-fold, thereby enhancing the durability of the bag assembly as depicted in FIG. 1B. For example, at least one layer of durable material constituting a rear panel 1002 may be visible from an inner surface of the bag assembly. The purpose of this configuration is to reinforce that the rear panel 1002 is not merely a flat sheet of fabric but rather a complete rear panel 1002 without additional fabric from the peripheral panel and front panel. In certain embodiments, the rear panel 1002 constitutes the primary surface of the inner surface of the compartment of the bag assembly 100, thereby enhancing the durability within the compartment when containing weighted objects.

[0081] This configuration may be interpreted as the rear panel 1002 extending into the inner surface of the compartment via an access configuration. In addition, a fastener 1020 is secured to a peripheral panel 1004 configured to increase, decrease and/or secure attachments such as removable fastener straps.

[0082] FIG. 1C illustrates a removable fastener strap assembly 29, wherein the removable fastener strap assembly comprises at least one adjustable working strap 1021, at least one fabric strap 1016, and at least one glider 1018 configured to be selectively coupled to the bag assembly 100. The removable fastener strap assembly optionally comprises a fabric material or a water-resistant fabric material having a customized length dimensioned in accordance with the size of the bag assembly during manufacture. For example, prior to manufacturing, a removable fastener strap assembly may be constructed with an increased length dimension, wherein a bag assembly 100 of reduced dimensions may incorporate a removable fastener strap of correspondingly reduced length comprising at least one layer of fabric. In particular embodiments, for a bag assembly 100 of reduced dimensions having minimal expansion capability, the removable fastener strap may be provided as a single fabric strap 1016, whereas a standard-dimensioned bag assembly 100 may incorporate a greater quantity of fabric straps 1016. The removable fastener straps are configured to be selectively coupled to the top peripheral panel 1004 and/or front panel 1000, and in certain embodiments, to the rear panel 1002. It is understood that the fabric is configured to encircle at least one buckle 2012 bar, extending over or under at least once to define at least one layer of fabric strap 1016. It is to be understood that all references to particular materials and dimensions are provided to detail example embodiments, and should not be construed to limit the composition and dimensions of all embodiments.

[0083] As previously referenced the handle assembly 1014-1015, FIG. 2A-B illustrates the handle assembly 1014-1015 arranged and secured to a panel of the bag assembly 100 via one securing mechanism in a substantially vertical orientation, the at least one handle 1014 comprising at least one layer of fabric, and in certain embodiments, at least one handle 1014 is secured by at least one securing element 2009 in a substantially horizontal orientation relative to the vertical handle 1014.

[0084] The bag assembly 100 with at least one offset member 2008 extending outward from the outer surface of the bag assembly 100. The offset member 2008 projects away from the main body of the bag assembly 100 in an upward position, forming a curved structural element that connects to the opposite end of the bag assembly 100. This configuration creates a handle structure that maintains a predetermined distance from the main compartment of the bag assembly 100.

[0085] The offset member 2008 incorporates a dual-layer construction comprising an outer gripping layer such as a strap fabric and an inner cushioning layer. The outer layer consists of durable black textile material with high tensile strength properties. The inner cushioning layer contains foam material with specific density characteristics providing optimal compressive resistance during carrying operations.

[0086] The offset member 2008 extends from the main body of the bag assembly 100 at a predetermined offset distance, creating an ergonomic gap between the user's hand and the load-bearing plane of the bag assembly 100. This configuration distributes gripping forces across a broader surface area of the user's palm, reducing pressure points during carrying operations. The offset configuration further provides thermal and impact insulation between the user's hand and the contents of the bag assembly 100.

[0087] The bag assembly 100 further includes multiple securing elements (2009) in the form of fabric straps attached to the bag assembly 100. Each securing element 2009 consists of a high-tensile tan/brownish webbing material that creates additional reinforcement for the bag assembly 100 structure. The securing elements 2009 have a width of approximately 2.5-3.5 centimeters and thickness of 0.2-0.4 centimeters, with reinforced stitching patterns along their length for enhanced durability.

[0088] The securing elements 2009 attach to the bag assembly 100 at multiple anchor points, creating a reinforced perimeter that stabilizes the load distribution across the carrying system. The placement of these securing elements 2009 follows a strategic pattern that encircles rather than bisects the main compartment of the bag assembly 100 This arrangement creates a distributed load path around the entire bag assembly 100 structure.

[0089] The securing elements 2009 connect with the offset member 2008 at specific junction points, establishing a three-dimensional force distribution network across the bag assembly 100.

The transparency feature mentioned allows visual confirmation of the webbing adjustment mechanism through the padded section 3102, enabling users to monitor strap positioning and tension without compromising the structural integrity of the assembly.

[0342] FIG. 22B illustrates the bag assembly 100 The MOLLE attachments 1006 on the outer surface of the padded section 3102 remain functional in both shoulder straps 7000A-B and waist strap 7002A-B configurations, providing consistent equipment attachment capabilities regardless of the selected carrying method. This dual-functionality design eliminates the need for separate shoulder and waist strap components, reducing overall system weight while maximizing versatility. In addition, the rear view of harness system comprises of an additional bag assembly secured to the rear portion of the harness 14.

[0343] The bag assembly 100 incorporates multiple attachment methodologies to secure the assembly to a user's back or external support structure, providing versatile mounting options for different operational requirements. The primary attachment system utilizes MOLLE attachments compatibility through integrated webbing loops and attachment points 1006 and 2007 that interface with standard MOLLE mounting hardware on tactical vests, plate carriers, or backpack systems.

[0344] The MOLLE attachment configuration employs interwoven webbing straps that thread through both the bag assembly 100 attachment points and the receiving MOLLE panel, creating a secure mechanical connection that distributes load forces across multiple connection points. The attachment points 1006 and 2007 are specifically positioned to align with standard MOLLE spacing requirements, ensuring compatibility with existing tactical gear systems and allowing the bag assembly 100 to function as a modular component.

[0345] Alternative attachment methodologies include hook-and-loop fastener systems integrated into the rear surface of the bag assembly 100, enabling direct adhesion to compatible surfaces on vests, backpacks, or other gear platforms. The hook-and-loop system provides rapid attachment and detachment capability while maintaining secure retention under normal operational conditions, with the fastener coverage area sized to provide adequate holding force for the expected load requirements.

[0346] Snap fastener systems represent another attachment option, incorporating heavy-duty snap connectors positioned at strategic locations around the perimeter of the bag assembly 100. These snap fasteners mate with corresponding receptacles on host platforms, providing positive mechanical engagement with audible and tactile feedback to confirm proper attachment. The snap fastener system enables quick deployment and removal while maintaining reliable retention under dynamic conditions.

[0347] Buckle-based attachment systems utilize adjustable straps with quick-release buckles that route through dedicated mounting points on the host platform. These buckle systems permit secure attachment to irregularly shaped surfaces or platforms without standardized mounting interfaces, with the adjustable straps accommodating various thickness and contour requirements of different host platforms.

[0348] Magnetic attachment systems provide an alternative mounting methodology using rare-earth magnets embedded within the rear surface of the bag assembly 100. The magnetic system creates strong attraction to ferromagnetic surfaces on steel plate carriers or other metallic gear platforms, offering tool-free attachment and removal while maintaining adequate retention force for operational use.

[0349] Combination attachment approaches integrate multiple attachment methodologies within the same bag assembly 100, allowing users to select the most appropriate attachment method based on available host platform interfaces and operational requirements. The multi-modal attachment capability ensures compatibility across diverse gear systems and user preferences while maintaining the dual-function capability between carrying configuration and exercise harness 14 configuration regardless of the selected attachment methodology.

[0350] The bag assembly 100 may incorporate a comprehensive connector array 1006 distributed across the peripheral outer surface 1004 for modular attachment capabilities. Individual connectors within this array function as slots featuring openings with characteristics similar to cavity hole 1800 components, wherein primary and secondary slots position themselves horizontally and/or laterally across peripheral outer surface 1004 with engineered spacing intervals.

[0351] In some embodiments, connector sets secure to bag assembly 100 surfaces wherein the primary connector comprises fabric construction while the secondary connector inserts through the primary connector during manufacturing, with the secondary connector receiving welded attachment. These connectors may integrate between outer surfaces of the bag assembly 100 with concealment beneath fabric layers featuring characteristics similar to the padded fabric systems depicted in previous figures.

[0352] Individual straps secure within the bag assembly 100 enclosure with lengths adaptable for torso circumnavigation, inserting through primary slots and wrapping around secondary slots, wherein adjustable working strap fasteners secure the bag assembly 100 to the user's torso. The outer compartments 2007 accommodate straps of varying lengths, wherein primary straps exceed secondary strap dimensions with length expansion capabilities.

[0353] Multi-unit configurations enable the connection of multiple bag assembly 100 units via integrated strap systems 2602. Individual straps 2602 deploy from outer surface compartments incorporating fasteners such as buckles, wherein male or female buckle components of the primary bag assembly 100 engage with corresponding components of secondary bag assembly 100 units. This interconnection method enables the simultaneous deployment of four straps from the primary unit, each extending to engage with corresponding straps from the secondary unit, creating a comprehensive weight vest system through strap-to-strap fastener engagement.

[0354] Each strap 2602 incorporates foam padding layers and/or airway mesh construction for enhanced comfort during physical activities. Compartment sets secure peripherally in both vertical and horizontal orientations across primary and secondary bag assembly 100 units, wherein complete four-strap engagement transforms the dual-unit configuration into an integrated weight vest assembly.

[0355] The primary bag assembly 100 may function as the posterior torso component while the secondary unit serves as the anterior component, wherein the secondary unit incorporates adjustable ladder lock fasteners. Primary unit straps configure for top and/or bottom wrapping with subsequent wrapping to opposite strap fabric ends, wherein glider or hook and loop fastener systems enable securing closures that eliminate excess strap fabric, creating a streamlined, professional appearance suitable for both fitness and tactical applications.

[0356] It is understood FIG. 21A-B comprise of the substantially same or similar features, components as FIG. 22A-B however, with respect to the flexibility and positioning of FIGS. 21A-B and 22A-B may have different interpretations. The shoulder strap arrangement differences between the front perspective view and rear view represent the same apparatus in different configuration states, demonstrating the adjustable and repositionable nature of the securing straps 2602 and shoulder elements 7000A and 7000B. The variation in strap positioning occurs through the inherent flexibility and adjustment mechanisms built into the harness system, allowing the straps to adapt to different wearing orientations and user preferences.

[0357] In the front perspective view, the waist-level securing straps 2602 are positioned in a horizontal configuration that routes close to the user's torso, creating a compact carrying profile suitable for standard bag carrying applications. This configuration positions the straps to wrap around the user's midsection in a manner that maintains the bag assembly 100 close to the body for balanced load distribution during transport activities.

[0358] The rear view demonstrates an alternative configuration where the waist-level securing straps 2602 are positioned in a downward orientation, extending below the bag assembly 100 in a manner that creates clearance from the user's torso. This arrangement accommodates exercise harness 14 applications where the straps need to route under the user's arms and around the back without interfering with arm movement or creating pressure points against the ribs or lower torso.

[0359] The repositioning capability stems from the adjustable attachment points that permit the securing straps 2602 to rotate or pivot around their connection locations on the bag assembly 100. The shoulder elements 7000A and 7000B similarly adjust their angular orientation relative to the bag assembly 100, allowing the upper straps to accommodate both over-shoulders carrying positions and cross-body exercise harness configurations.

[0360] The strap arrangement flexibility enables the same product to function in multiple wearing configurations without requiring separate components or different product variants. Users can reposition the securing straps 2602 from the horizontal torso-hugging configuration to the downward-extending configuration by adjusting the strap routing and buckle positions, transforming the carrying system into the exercise harness 14 configuration while maintaining all attachment points and structural elements of the original bag assembly 100.

[0361] In alternative embodiments, a shoulder strap 7000A can be disposed and wrapped over a user's left shoulder to the upper-mid section, continuous to the right waist strap 7002B wherein the female component of the fastener 1020 is engaged with the male component of the buckle of the peripheral panel bag assembly, wherein a shoulder strap 7000B can be disposed and wrapped over a user's right shoulder to the upper-mid section, continuous to the right waist strap 7002A wherein the female component of the fastener 1020 is engaged with the male component of the buckle of the peripheral panel bag assembly. This configuration creates a cross sectional of the rear harness with respect to the shoulder straps 7000A-B overlapping and/or engaging with each other via a securing mechanism such as a fastener. In some instances, the shoulder straps 7000A-B and the waist straps 7002A-B may be formed and joined together as a whole, as depicted on FIG. 13A. The bag assembly of FIG. 22A-B would replace the distinct apparatus 8300 of FIG. 13A.

[0362] To enhance operational stability, the system includes a counterbalance mechanism that may be integrated into the host vest or distributed across sections of the bag assembly 100. This counterbalance feature employs distributed counterweights to offset the downward gravitational forces of the loaded assembly, ensuring even weight distribution across the mounting platform and reducing fatigue during extended use periods.

[0363] The attachment system employs MOLLE compatibility through integrated webbing and attachment points 1006 that interface with standard MOLLE attachments mounting hardware on tactical vests 2009, plate carriers, or backpack systems 2010.

[0364] FIG. 23A illustrates the bag assembly 100 attached to a backpack system with strap members, wherein the strap members include one or more securing straps 2602 visible, demonstrating the MOLLE compatibility interface, handle assembly 1014-1015, shoulder strap 7000A-B and/or waist straps 7002A-B as depicted on FIG. 9, 13C-D.

[0365] FIG. 23B shows the bag assembly 100 mounted to a tactical vest with MOLLE attachment points 1006 clearly visible, while components 1002, 1004A, and 1004B provide additional mounting interfaces. FIG. 22C presents a distinct vest apparatus configuration with the bag assembly 100 positioned centrally and securing straps 2600 distributed radially around the assembly to create the comprehensive restraint system. The MOLLE attachment methodology utilizes securing straps 2602 that thread through both the bag assembly 100 and the receiving MOLLE panel in a specific interlocking pattern. The attachment process involves releasing the securing straps from compartments within the outer surface panels, then inserting each strap from the top opening of a MOLLE attachment point 1006, transitioning underneath, and releasing at the bottom opening of each sequential MOLLE row on the vest or backpack system. This interwoven pattern creates multiple connection points that distribute load forces across the entire mounting interface, wherein at least two securing straps 2602 provide redundant attachment capability to minimize movement during physical activities. The front panel 1000 maintains structural integrity while supporting the distributed forces, with components 1004 providing additional reinforcement at critical stress points.

[0366] The bag assembly 100 incorporates an interlocking panel design wherein the rear surface includes interlocking grooves or clip-and-slot systems that enable the assembly to slide into place and lock securely using twist-lock or snap-fit mechanisms. These mechanical interfaces provide positive engagement with corresponding features on host platforms, creating secure mounting without requiring additional hardware or tools.

[0367] A reinforced magnetic locking mechanism may be embedded within the rear surface of the bag assembly 100, utilizing high-strength rare-earth magnets for secure alignment with corresponding magnetic plates on compatible vests or carriers. The magnetic system includes a mechanical latch component for added redundancy, ensuring firm connection even under rigorous activity conditions while providing tool-free attachment and removal capability.

[0368] The attachment system features elasticized webbing straps with anti-slip rubberized coatings that provide flexible yet secure mounting capability. These elasticized components absorb dynamic movement and prevent stress concentration points, reducing user discomfort while maintaining secure retention of the bag assembly 100 during operational activities.

[0369] FIG. 24-25 illustrates the bag assembly opened exposing an inner surface 1002A, the inner surface opposite of the outer surface of the rear panel, weight straps 1100, weight strap base 1101 offset members 1108, fastener hooks 1104 and pockets 1204, 1206 when the compartment is revealed via disengaging the first component 2010A the second component 2010B.

[0370] FIG. 24 illustrates the bag assembly 100 reversed, opened substantially upon a surface. The term reversed is define as the inner surface of the compartment via an access configuration of the bag assembly is flipped in an upwards position, creating a top perspective view of the inner compartment. The elastic padding 1210 prevents the bag assembly from a complete flat configuration, configured to keep the rear panel 1002 and the front panel 1000 as a bag assembly 100.

[0371] It is understood the weight straps 1100, weight strap base, 1101, offset connector members 1108, fastener mechanism such as hook fastener 1104, and attachment points 1106 and compartments 1204, 1206 are substantially similar to FIG. 11 with respect to the structure however, FIG. 24 illustrates the weight straps and components arranged differently configured to secure a smaller weighted object such as weighted plates.

[0372] FIG. 24 further illustrates a demarcation reference line A-A configured to separate a top portion, a bottom portion, comprising three weight straps 1100, wherein one or more weight straps are secured to a weight strap base 1101 wherein the middle of the top and bottom portion comprises of an additional weight strap, on or near the central point of the compartment surface, in particular the rear panel inner surface 1002. The central weight strap extends diametrically across the inner surface of the compartment and connects to the peripheral securing mechanism at opposing sides of the bag assembly 100.

[0373] It should be noted that the central weight strap is secured to an inner surface of the compartment of the bag assembly, positioned beneath the visible three weight straps and is not shown in the drawings for clarity. However, this underlying strap is functionally identical and is intended to be included as part of the described embodiment.

[0374] When a barbell plate is positioned within the compartment, the central weight strap passes through the central opening of the plate, while the peripheral securing mechanism maintains tension and secures the strap ends to the outer peripheral panel of the bag assembly 100.

[0375] The central weight strap thereby prevents lateral movement of the weighted object during transport or use, while the peripheral securing mechanism distributes the load forces around the circumference of the bag assembly 100. This configuration allows the apparatus to securely retain circular weighted objects of various sizes while maintaining the structural integrity of the flexible material forming the bag assembly 100. It is understood the central weight strap may comprise of substantially similar features, materials as the weight strap 1100 and the base of the central weight strap is secured to the inner surface of the compartment via a securing base and may share the weight strap base 1101 with the three weight straps 1100 as depicted on FIG. 23.

[0376] The lowermost portion of each peripheral panel is joined together with a layer of elastic which. An expanded view of the layer of elastic 1210 is depicted on FIG. 24B illustrates the bag assembly 100 partially opened via an access configuration 102 revealing a set of compartments 1204 and 1206, weight strap 1100 positioned between the peripheral panel inner surface.

[0377] FIG. 25 illustrates the bag assembly exposing one or more barbell plates 2502, the barbell plates secured by three weight straps 1100 when the fastener components 2010A-B are disengaged with each other. The central weight strap referenced on FIG. 24 thereby prevents lateral movement of the weighted object during transport or use, while the peripheral securing mechanism distributes the load forces around the circumference of the bag assembly 100. This configuration allows the apparatus to securely retain circular weighted objects of various sizes while maintaining the structural integrity of the flexible material forming the bag assembly 100. The central weight strap is inserted through the center hole portion of the barbell plate, elongated to an offset connector as illustrated on FIGS. 11A-C and 23 via a hook fastener, wherein the hook fastener is then pulled to increase tension to maintain a secure position, minimizing or preventing movement of the barbell plate during movement. It is understood various attachable accessories such as a hydration pack can be inserted to the inner surface 1004A as depicted on FIG. 24, secured or unsecured via a weight strap and/or inserted to a pocket 1204-1206 with or without barbell plates secured within the compartment 102 of the bag assembly, wherein a set of weight straps 1100 are secured overtop of the hydration pack, minimizing or preventing movement and the hydration tube of the hydration pack is disposed and extending from the inner surface to the outer surface of the cavity.

[0378] A method of preparation to secure weighted objects within the inner surface of the bag assembly comprises the steps of: (i) disengaging the hook fasteners 1106 and offset member 1104, (ii) placing one or more weighted elements such as a barbell plate 2502 overtop the weight strap base 1101, (iii) pulling an offset member strap of the central portion weight strap through the barbell hole, (iv) pulling the central portion weight strap 1100 and securely engaging with the offset member strap 1104 of the central weight straps, and (v) engaging each hook fastener 1106 with each offset member strap 1104.
