Before you start

Set up the movement.

  1. 01

    Use a soft training sandbag and a clear, level lane.

  2. 02

    Secure the bag across the shoulders without pressing on the neck.

  3. 03

    Shorten the step or range before adding load.

One useful cue

Keep the first rep repeatable.

Stay tall, plant the whole front foot and shorten the step or range before technique changes.

Training use

Purpose before prescription.

IN YOUR PLAN

Train single-leg strength with a load and range that keep every step stable.

WITHOUT THE EQUIPMENT

Use unloaded reverse lunges or supported split squats while preserving control.
