Sandbag Squat Suitcase And Shouldering

Video coming soon...

The sandbag squat suitcase and shouldering workout is a challenging exercise routine that primarily targets the quads and glutes.

The sandbag’s weight engages the muscles without overstressing secondary muscle groups, providing an effective lower body workout.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
Hold a sandbag in front of you with both hands, arms fully extended, and the bag resting against your thighs.
Squat down by bending at your knees and hips, keeping your back straight and chest up.
Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground or slightly below.
Push through your heels, extend your knees and hips, and return to the starting position.

Start with a sandbag that challenges you but allows for proper form. Choose a weight that allows you to complete 8-12 reps with good technique.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the exercise.
As you lower into the squat, focus on pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Keep your weight in your heels and maintain a neutral spine.
When you reach the bottom of the squat, explode up using your quads and glutes. Imagine driving through the floor with your feet.
For the suitcase variation, hold the sandbag by your side, keeping your arm straight and your shoulder down. Keep your core tight to prevent any twisting or leaning.
In the shouldering variation, start with the sandbag on the ground between your feet. Squat down, grab the bag, and explosively lift it onto your shoulder. Lower it back down and repeat on the other side.
Remember to breathe throughout the exercise. Inhale as you lower into the squat and exhale as you drive up. Don’t hold your breath!
