Sandbag Overhead Squat

How to do it

1. Clean the sandbag to the shoulders, then press or push it directly overhead until the arms are extended and locked.
2. Set the feet shoulder width apart and brace the core to keep the bag stacked above the middle of the foot.
3. Descend by sitting the hips back and down while continuing to press upward into the sandbag throughout the movement.
4. Lower until the thighs reach parallel, letting the quadriceps and glutes control the depth of the squat.
5. Drive through the feet to return to standing, keeping the arms locked and the bag from drifting forward.
6. Exhale near the top and lower the sandbag back to the shoulders under control once the set is finished.
