Aquabag Split Squat Overhead

Video coming soon...

The aquabag split squat overhead workout is a quad-focused exercise that utilizes the aquabag.

The aquabag adds instability, forcing the quads to work harder to maintain balance and stability.

By performing split squats with the aquabag held overhead, the quads are the primary muscles engaged.

While the workout may also activate other muscles, its main emphasis is on strengthening the quads.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the aquabag in both hands at chest level.
Take a step forward with your right foot, maintaining a wide stance.
Lower your body by bending both knees, keeping your back straight and your chest lifted.
As you lower, simultaneously press the aquabag overhead, fully extending your arms.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, ensuring your front knee is directly above your ankle.
Push through your front heel to return to the starting position, while simultaneously lowering the aquabag back to chest level.
Repeat the movement on the opposite side, stepping forward with your left foot.

Position the aquabag securely on your shoulders, ensuring it is centered and stable. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward, and take a step forward with one foot, extending your leg in front of you.
As you lower your body into the split squat position, focus on engaging your quads by keeping your front knee aligned with your toes and your back knee hovering just above the ground. Maintain an upright posture, with your core tight and your chest lifted.
Drive through your front heel as you push back up to the starting position, emphasizing the contraction in your quads. Imagine the power surging through your legs, propelling you forward with each repetition.
Keep your movements controlled and deliberate, avoiding any jerking or bouncing. This will ensure maximum activation of your quads and minimize the risk of injury. Feel the burn in your muscles as you challenge yourself with each rep.
To intensify the exercise and further engage your quads, try adding a pause at the bottom of each rep. This will increase the time under tension, forcing your quads to work harder and adapt to the challenge. Embrace the discomfort and push through it, knowing that it is a sign of progress and growth.
