Paused Front Squat

Показать описание

Most lifters think of pause squats as a way to build muscle and strength because of the high tension and lack of momentum they're able to use. But by using pause squats at the beginning of your workout, you'll warm up your hips better than all the mashing in the world can do. Add 30-50% of your max front squat to the bar. Squat slowly go down. Hold the lowest position you can while keeping your chest open and hips and legs active. Don't relax your legs. By keeping your legs and core tight and strong, you're telling your body to place the tension on your legs and core instead of your lower back or hip flexors. Hold this position for a count of 5, breathing at the bottom. Stand back up. Do 2 more reps. Do 2-3 sets, increasing the weight to 50% of your max for the final set. – Linden Ellefson
