Sandbag Half Moon Snatch

Video coming soon...

The sandbag Half Moon Snatch workout is a dynamic exercise that primarily targets the Quads, Obliques, and Lower Back.

The sandbag’s unique shape and weight distribution engage these muscles without overemphasizing secondary muscle groups.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outwards.
Hold the sandbag with both hands, palms facing inwards, and arms extended in front of you.
Lower your body into a squat position, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
As you rise from the squat, explosively extend your hips, pull the sandbag towards your shoulder, and rotate your body to the side.
Continue the movement until the sandbag is above your head, with your arm fully extended and your body forming a straight line from head to toe.

Start with a light sandbag to master the technique before progressing to heavier weights.
Engage your quads by driving through your heels and extending your hips explosively.
Keep your core tight and obliques engaged throughout the movement to maintain stability.
Focus on a smooth and controlled motion, avoiding any jerking or swinging of the sandbag.
Maintain a neutral spine by keeping your lower back straight and avoiding excessive rounding.
As you snatch the sandbag overhead, use your quads and obliques to stabilize your body.
Practice proper breathing techniques, exhaling forcefully as you lift the sandbag and inhaling on the way down.
