Aquabag Overhead Squat

Video coming soon...

The aquabag overhead squat workout is designed to primarily engage the quads.

The aquabag acts as resistance, challenging the quads to work harder during the squat.

By holding the aquabag overhead, the quads are targeted more intensely than with traditional squats.

While the aquabag may engage some auxiliary muscles, its main focus is on the quads.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward.
Hold the aquabag with both hands, gripping it firmly and raising it above your head.
Engage your core and keep your back straight as you lower into a squat position, bending at the knees and hips.
Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the squat, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
Keep your arms extended overhead throughout the entire movement, maintaining a strong grip on the aquabag.
Repeat the squat for the desired number of repetitions.

Position the aquabag securely on your shoulders, ensuring it rests comfortably in the groove between your traps and neck. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
As you begin the descent, engage your core and maintain a proud chest, keeping your gaze forward. Initiate the movement by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, ensuring they track over your toes.
Focus on driving through your heels as you push back up to the starting position. This will help activate your quads and ensure proper engagement throughout the exercise.
Keep your upper body stable and avoid any excessive forward lean. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, keeping your spine aligned and your torso upright.
Control the movement throughout the entire range of motion, maintaining a slow and controlled pace. This will not only enhance quad activation but also improve stability and balance, allowing you to maximize the benefits of the aquabag overhead squat.
