Video coming soon...

The sandbag Bulgarian split squat suitcase grip workout is a challenging exercise that targets the quads and glutes.

By holding the sandbag in a suitcase grip, the weight is distributed unevenly, increasing the intensity of the exercise.

This workout primarily engages the quads and glutes, while also activating the core and improving balance.

While the sandbag adds resistance, it should not be overstated as the main factor in engaging auxiliary muscles.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a sandbag in your right hand by your side.
Take a step forward with your left foot, keeping your right foot stationary.
Lower your body down by bending both knees, ensuring your left knee is directly above your left ankle.
Keep your torso upright and your core engaged throughout the movement.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, then push through your left heel to return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Switch the sandbag to your left hand and perform the exercise with your right foot forward.

Focus on maintaining an upright posture throughout the exercise, keeping your chest lifted and shoulders back. This will ensure maximum engagement of your quads and glutes, as well as promote proper alignment and stability.
When performing the Bulgarian split squat, make sure your front foot is positioned far enough forward to allow for a 90-degree bend in your knee when you lower into the squat. This deep range of motion will activate your quads and glutes more effectively, helping you build strength and muscle.
Ensure a strong grip on the sandbag, holding it firmly with your hand in a suitcase grip. This will challenge your grip strength and stability, while also engaging your core muscles. Keep your arm straight and avoid bending your wrist, as this can compromise your form and limit the benefits of the exercise.
As you lower into the split squat, focus on pushing through your front heel to drive yourself back up. This will activate your glutes and quads, allowing you to generate more power and strength. Keep your knee in line with your toes to prevent any strain on your joints.
To enhance the engagement of your quads and glutes, try adding a pause at the bottom of the split squat. This isometric hold will increase the time under tension, intensifying the muscle activation and promoting greater strength gains. Embrace the burn
