Sandbag Front Squat

01 / Set up

Build the position.

1. Bring a declared, submaximal sandbag to a stable bear-hug or front hold on a clear, durable surface.
2. Set the feet where the bag can stay close without blocking the knees, toes, or measured return lane.

02 / Execute

Do the work.

1. Breathe and brace gently, then lower with the knees and hips moving together while the bag stays close.
2. Pause at the deepest position you can control without losing the front hold or foot contact.
3. Stand through the whole foot, regain a tall front position, and stop before the filler shift changes the path.

03 / Troubleshoot

Common ways it drifts.

• Letting the bag drift away as the knees bend
• Chasing depth after the front hold or foot contact has changed
