Sandbag Bear Hug Carry
Squat down and hug a sandbag tightly against your chest, wrapping your arms fully around it. Stand tall by driving through your heels, keeping your core braced and chest up. Walk forward with short controlled steps for the prescribed distance, resisting any rounding of your back. Keep breathing steadily and maintain a firm bear hug so the bag does not slip.
