One downside of overpacking a is that one cannot complete a clean as expected. Since the fingers won’t be able to rotate over without being caught in the mid seem.

One option to overcome this hindrance is to use less fingers, so either 3 or 2 instead of the standard 4.

Additionally, one should consider using gloves, especially regarding the fingers being caught in the mid seem, which can cause tearing of the skin.

Gloves with also reduce some friction between the sandbag material and the skin.

One key information point that is missing is which handles on the sandbag are being used. The mid seem issue can be a problem using the vertical over horizontal handles.

One reason one would opt for the one form over the other is the force trigger point. One can compare this trigger point as in normal over fist push ups.

Now if one would opt for other over the head exercises, specific hand placements on the sandbag can ease the movement and permit more control over the bag.

Cleans, thrusters, jerks, or overhead static holds are easier done with horizontal hand placement whereas triceps extensions are done easier with vertical placement.
