Aquabag Burpee Power Clean

Video coming soon...

The aquabag Burpee power clean workout is a high-intensity exercise that targets the quads, abs, and shoulders.

The aquabag, a water-filled training tool, adds resistance to the movement, increasing the challenge and engaging the targeted muscles.

By performing burpees with the aquabag, the quads are activated during the squat and jump, while the abs stabilize the body.

The power clean motion further targets the shoulders, making the aquabag Burpee power clean workout a full-body exercise.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward, and the aquabag placed on the floor in front of you.
Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
Reach down and grab the aquabag with both hands, keeping your palms facing inward and your grip secure.
Explosively extend your hips, knees, and ankles to jump off the ground, simultaneously pulling the aquabag up towards your shoulders.
As you reach the peak of your jump, drop into a squat position and catch the aquabag on your shoulders, with your elbows pointing forward.
Stand up by extending your hips, knees, and ankles, keeping the aquabag stable on your shoulders.
Lower the aquabag back to the starting position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back into a squat, then place the aquabag on the floor.

Engage your quads by focusing on a deep squat position before exploding into the power clean movement. Sink your hips back and down, keeping your chest up and core tight to activate those leg muscles.
To maximize abdominal engagement, maintain a strong and stable core throughout the exercise. Imagine pulling your belly button towards your spine and brace your abs as if preparing for a punch. This will help you generate power and protect your lower back.
Ensure proper shoulder activation by initiating the power clean movement with a strong shrug. As you extend your hips and knees, pull your shoulders up towards your ears, creating momentum to drive the aquabag upwards. This will engage your deltoids and upper back muscles.
Focus on a smooth and controlled movement throughout the exercise. Avoid using excessive momentum or jerking motions, as this can compromise your form and increase the risk of injury. Instead, emphasize the mind-muscle connection and concentrate on each muscle group working together harmoniously.
Remember to breathe! Inhale deeply as you lower into the squat position, and exhale forcefully as you explode into the power clean. This will help you maintain focus, oxygenate your muscles, and provide the necessary energy to push through the exercise.
