We’ll have a good discussion in class today about the different ways to squat. ALL squatting is great and its arguably the most functional movement you can do. The bar position will effect your hip angle and your hip angle will determine which muscles you’re working (hope I haven’t lost you already…). So its really helpful to understand why we would use a certain bar position and what the purpose of that particular squat is. Here is a diagram we have come up with to help you understand the different squats.

Strength

1) LB Back Squat: 1 attempt to establish a 20RM – rest 1:00 (before #2)

*Add approximately 2.5-5kg to last week’s number, but do not go heavy enough to fail.

2) Front Squat: Max Reps @ 100% of #1 (after 1:00 rest)

Conditioning

3 rounds of:

20 Hang Power Cleans 50/35kg
20 TTB
