Weighted Sandbag Forward Lunge
The forward lunge with a sandbag across the shoulders; the bag shifts as you step, so the trunk works to keep it still.
How to do it
Setup
Sandbag across the upper back, hands holding it at the shoulders, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Step forward, the bag held tight to the shoulders.
- Sink until the back knee hovers above the floor.
- Drive back to the start through the front foot.
Common mistakes
Bag sliding off one shoulder: grip it firmly and re-set between reps. Torso tipping forward under the load: chest up, abs braced. Short step: the front knee shoots forward; step longer.
Breathing
Inhale on the step, exhale pushing back.
