SANDBAG SHOULDERING SQUAT:
The Sandbag Shouldering Squat is a complex, full body coordination movement.
STEP 1: Set the sandbag in between your legs, parallel to your feet. Grab the sandbag by the sides (not the handles). Seek to keep a neutral spine prior to lifting the weight off the ground.
Step 2: Keeping a tight core, explosively pull the sandbag off the ground towards one shoulder. At the same time, drop your hips towards the ground in a squatting motion.
Step 3: Ideally, the sandbag should land on your shoulder at the same time you reach the bottom of the squat.
Step 4: From here, you can either begin dropping the sandbag towards the ground as you raise your hips, or to make it more difficult, lock out at the top of the squat prior to dropping the sandbag toward the ground.
