Sandbag Overhead Triceps Press Tips

  1. Start with a light sandbag to get comfortable with the movement and avoid straining your triceps.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the sandbag with both hands, palms facing up.
  3. Engage your core and keep your elbows close to your head as you press the sandbag overhead.
  4. Focus on fully extending your arms and squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement.
  5. Avoid locking your elbows at the top to maintain tension in your triceps throughout the exercise.
  6. Control the descent of the sandbag back to the starting position, resisting the urge to let it drop.
  7. Gradually increase the weight of the sandbag as your triceps get stronger, but always prioritize proper form over heavy weights.
