Why You Need To Be Doing Pause Squats
The absolute most challenging part of any squat is when you’re in the hole with weight on your back that could in theory..crush you if anything goes wrong.
The mental and physical challenge of holding your position in the most precarious part of the lift and standing back up with it, is what often separates a successful squat from an unsuccessful one.
This is where pause squats come into play.
Imagine not only the strength, but also the confidence level you’d have knowing you can control your body in the hole without bouncing, without shifting and having developed optimal starting power from a dead stop at the bottom?
It’s HUGE.
Challenge yourself to get stronger with different pause squat variations and watch your overall confidence and strength build on this lift.
Examples:
5 sec pauses, 3 sec pauses, 1 sec pauses on the following variations👇
Paused front squat
Paused high bar squat
Paused zercher squat
Paused Comp Squat
Go beltless or add wraps to ANY of these variations to give yourself even more of a challenge.
