  • Strength Drills: Incorporate sled drags and heavy rope pulls into weekly training. Emphasize lower body and core strength.
  • Specific Exercises: Deadlifts, bent-over rows, and seated cable rows can help build the necessary strength.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:29 slower than average):
  • Form Correction: Ensure proper posture with shoulders back and core engaged during lunges.
  • Strength Training: Include weighted lunges and Bulgarian split squats in your routine.
  • Endurance Building: Perform longer sets of lunges with lighter weights to build endurance.
