The sandbag one arm bent-over row single leg workout is a challenging exercise that targets the lower back and lats.

By using the sandbag, you engage your core and stabilizer muscles to maintain balance and control.

This exercise also helps improve posture and strengthens the muscles responsible for pulling movements.

While it may indirectly work the biceps and shoulders, the focus remains on the lower back and lats.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a sandbag in your right hand.
Extend your left leg behind you, keeping it straight and parallel to the ground.
Bend forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and your right knee slightly bent.
Engage your core and pull the sandbag up towards your chest, keeping your elbow close to your body.
Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
Lower the sandbag back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.

Focus on maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the exercise. Engage your lower back by keeping your spine neutral and avoiding any excessive arching or rounding. This will ensure that your lower back is properly activated and protected during the movement.
Initiate the rowing movement by driving your elbow back and squeezing your shoulder blade towards your spine. Imagine that you are pulling the sandbag towards your ribcage, emphasizing the contraction in your lats. This will help you fully engage your latissimus dorsi muscles, giving you a powerful and controlled rowing motion.
As you perform the exercise, maintain a slight bend in your knee and focus on balancing on a single leg. This will challenge your stability and activate your glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps. By incorporating single-leg work, you not only enhance the engagement of your lower back and lats but also improve overall functional strength and balance.
Keep your shoulder down and away from your ear throughout the movement. Avoid shrugging or tensing your upper traps. By consciously relaxing your shoulders and maintaining proper scapular positioning, you will maximize the activation of your lats and minimize unnecessary strain on your neck and upper back.
Remember to breathe rhythmically and exhale as you pull the sandbag towards your body. This will help you maintain a steady rhythm and
