Get Your ASS low on Front Squats

Seriously.

Sink em’!

With the required upright torso position in a front squat you can easily go rock bottom while maintaining core tension. Deep squats require more involvement from your glutes and hamstrings, so do it! Who the heck doesn’t want a stronger posterior chain?!

Get a BIG breath, hold it, then sink your squat and REAP the reward!

Do You Workout With a Sledgehammer?

Emily demonstrates sledge strikes.
YOU MUST hit with BAD INTENTIONS!

Don’t let the sledge do all the work.

At peak height follow through HARD with your core!

Fast and strong.

Rotational Strength must not be ignored – Sledge strikes are great for “extra workouts”.

Train for power off the floor

Squat Clean, Power Clean, Clean Pulls –  All great movements to build explosive strength!

Yes, there are coaching nuances…

“Shoulders over the bar”, “double knee bend”, “Pockets and Jump”…

But that’s what coaches are for!

No coach?

Be your own freakin’ coach! – Watch plenty of video – record yourself – analyze!

No excuses…

BE POWERFUL!

  • Box squats for speed and strict shoulder press x 5 reps each for 6 sets
A good training day and a great start to another solid week!
