Nutri-Sport & Full Potential Training tip: disc split squats

Ryan Irwin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:23:45 +0000

When training, it is important that you not only just do the exercise, but do it in proper form and emphasize the muscles that you want to target. In other words, don’t just lift weights, but “feel” the bodyparts working.

In this video, David demonstrates a great variation in the Nutri-Sport studio to the split squat on the smith machine that helps emphasize the quads and requires more balance and stability, all of which is great for athletes or just those looking for a way to shake up their workout.

Throw this exercise into your leg routine at your next workout to shake things up. For more information on our personal training in the Full Potential Training studio, click here.

In this video, Ryan demonstrates Zercher Squats, which is a very beneficial exercise. Not only is it a great leg mass/strength builder, but it is also great for stimulating the back and core.

Lunges are a great exercise for the legs, especially targeting the glutes. In this video, Head Trainer Tasha Armstrong demonstrates a version with the smith machine. For even more glute stimulation, elevate your front leg to get a more intense stretch.

We recommend 3-4 sets of 8-14 reps, for optimal muscle stimulation.

Nutri-Sport & Full Potential Tip -banded box squats

Ryan Irwin — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:17:05 +0000

Powering out of the bottom of a squatting position is important for both athletes and those just wanting to build muscle and strength. In athletics, getting the initial power to propel your body to whatever it is you are doing. In workouts, the bottom portion of the exercise is when you stimulate the most muscle fibers to optimize the effectiveness of the exercise (which is why people who don’t go deep on squats/leg press are losing a lot of benefit).

In this video, Nutri-Sport owner Ryan Irwin demonstrates an exercise that helps develop power in the squat at the Full Potential Training studio.

Nutri-Sport & Full Potential Training tip of the week

Squats are one of the best exercises to develop leg and hip power, strength and size. This variation called “box squats” forces one to come to a complete stop, then drive out of the “hole” without the rebound effect. By doing so, it really helps to increase the power. This is great for sports, powerlifting and anyone who wants to increase there power or just learn how to squat to the proper depth.
