Today’s lower body session: Back squat + sandbag walking lunges

Why this combo works so well:
🔹 Global strength + local stability
Squats target global force production, while lunges challenge each leg individually.
🔹 Posterior chain activation
The squat loads glutes + quads, and the sandbag adds upper-back engagement.
🔹 Gait pattern training
Walking lunges improve balance, hip stability, and real-life movement efficiency.
🔹 Core integration
Sandbag position forces the core and obliques to manage shifting weight.

Simple structure, huge carryover to sport, hiking, running, and daily movement.
