Sandbag Squat Double Suitcase

Video coming soon...

The sandbag squat double suitcase workout is a powerful exercise that targets the quads and glutes.

By holding a sandbag in each hand, the weight is distributed evenly, intensifying the engagement of the leg muscles.

This workout primarily focuses on the quads and glutes, providing a challenging and effective lower body workout.

While other muscles may be activated, the sandbag’s role is to enhance the engagement of the target muscles.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly turned out, holding a sandbag in each hand at your sides.
Engage your core and maintain a straight back as you slowly lower your body into a squat position, bending at the knees and hips.
Continue descending until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as close as possible, while keeping your heels on the ground.
Pause briefly at the bottom of the squat, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
As you rise, maintain control of the sandbags, keeping them close to your sides and your elbows slightly bent.
Repeat the squat for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower and exhaling as you rise.

Ensure proper form by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out, and sandbags placed on either side of your body, just like you’re holding two heavy suitcases.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine, maintaining a straight and tall posture throughout the exercise.
Initiate the movement by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, as if you’re sitting back into an imaginary chair. Keep your weight evenly distributed on both feet.
Focus on driving through your heels as you push yourself back up to the starting position, squeezing your glutes and quads at the top of the movement for maximum engagement.
Control the descent and ascent of the sandbags, avoiding any jerky or sudden movements. Remember to breathe in on the way down and exhale as you push back up, maintaining a steady rhythm.
