Nutri-Sport Training tip: Pause squats
February 14, 2012 by Ryan Irwin
Hitting proper depth on squats is important and equally so is being comfortable in the “hole”. Additionally, you want to be consistent in your form and range of motion.
Pause squats are a great exercise that will help you achieve this. As Ryan Irwin demonstrates in the video below, by holding the bottom portion of the squat three seconds, it trains you to know and feel comfortable in the bottom portion of the exercise.
This is a great accessory exercise after doing some normal squats or on a lighter leg day. Give this a try on your next squat session.
