Fitness Tip

Pause and effect squats for true strength.

In my opinion this is much more effective than ass to grass squats not to mention safer. Here is why. When people squat ATG they drop the glutes fast at the bottom of the rep creating momentum and bouncing out of the hole. If you are interested in building strength, explosion, muscularity while preventing injury then try these pause squats. Get in a good athletic stance, squat til parallel or just below and hold for a solid 4 count then explode up using ZERO MOMENTUM!! I guarantee implementing this method will take your squat numbers through the roof. 4-5 sets in the 6-8 rep range.
