00:00:01.090 --> 00:00:02.480
Sandbag front squat.

00:00:03.170 --> 00:00:06.050
The marine will clean the sandbag to the front rack position,

00:00:06.079 --> 00:00:08.789
so the sandbag is resting on the front of the shoulders.

00:00:09.079 --> 00:00:11.109
The upper arms are parallel to the deck.

00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:13.229
The marine will stand tall with shoulders,

00:00:13.409 --> 00:00:13.640
hips,

00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:14.069
knees,

00:00:14.079 --> 00:00:15.829
and ankles in a straight line.

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:17.399
Execution.

00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:19.479
The marine will drop the hips down toward the

00:00:19.479 --> 00:00:21.989
deck while trying to externally rotate the feet,

00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.159
referred to as tearing the newspaper as they descend.

00:00:25.809 --> 00:00:27.750
They will keep the elbows parallel to the deck,

00:00:27.950 --> 00:00:28.569
chest up,

00:00:28.579 --> 00:00:30.180
and feet flat on the deck.

00:00:30.590 --> 00:00:33.819
The marine's weight should be evenly distributed throughout their feet.

00:00:34.229 --> 00:00:36.240
Once the marine gets to the bottom of their squat,

00:00:36.349 --> 00:00:40.279
they will press into the floor and drive the hips back up to their starting position,

00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:43.909
ensuring their feet stay flat on the floor and the knees do not cave in.
