Sandbag Front Lunge Zercher Grip Tips

  1. Start by gripping the sandbag with your arms crossed in front of your chest, positioning it just below your chin, creating a solid foundation for the exercise.
  2. Take a step forward with one leg, ensuring that your front knee is directly above your ankle, forming a 90-degree angle, while your back knee hovers just above the ground.
  3. Engage your quads and glutes by pushing through your front heel as you rise back up to the starting position, maintaining control and stability throughout the movement.
  4. Focus on keeping your core tight and your chest lifted throughout the exercise, which will help you maintain proper form and prevent unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  5. To maximize the engagement of your quads and glutes, emphasize the mind-muscle connection by visualizing the muscles working and contracting with each step, allowing you to fully activate and strengthen these muscle groups.
