Strength exercise
Sandbag Bent Over Row
How to do it
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hinge at the hips to grip the sandbag handles with both hands, torso angled forward.
- Keep the knees softly bent and the spine long, with the sandbag hanging below the chest.
- Row the sandbag up toward the ribs by driving the elbows back, letting the shifting filler inside the bag challenge the lats and biceps.
- Keep the torso still and braced throughout, resisting the urge to jerk the sandbag upward with the lower back.
- Pause at the top with the shoulder blades drawn together, then lower the sandbag under control to full arm extension.
- Exhale on the row and inhale on the descent, keeping the hips locked in the same hinge position for every rep.
