Sandbag Overhead Squat

Video coming soon...

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

The sandbag adds resistance, engaging the core and upper body muscles for stability and balance.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the sandbag with both hands at chest level.
Engage your core and press the sandbag overhead, fully extending your arms.
Keeping your arms straight, lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.
Continue squatting until your thighs are parallel to the ground, ensuring your knees do not extend past your toes.
Push through your heels and return to the starting position by extending your knees and standing up straight.

Start with a light sandbag to master the form before adding more weight.
Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly pointed outwards.
Engage your quads by pushing your knees outwards as you squat down.
Focus on sitting back into your heels to activate your glutes.
Maintain a straight back and look straight ahead throughout the exercise.
Control the descent and ascent of the sandbag to maximize muscle engagement.
Practice proper breathing by inhaling on the way down and exhaling on the way up.
