Put another way, loading muscles with high resistance acutely improves explosive muscle action.
What happens? Explosive jumping and sprinting performance increases after the heavy lift. – Bronwen Blunt Jake Tuura – Strength and Conditioning Coach Jump first, then squat.įor years we've known about the benefits of something called "post-activation potentiation." Get warmed up, then do a heavy, low-volume squat or deadlift. It's a problem that can get you out of position and make or break your squat. Most people neglect the importance of proper breathing while unracking the bar. Proper breathing and bracing is extremely important to avoid injury. Pay attention to your setup to maintain stability during the movement. Once you become more comfortable with these overloads, your current 1RM is going to feel a lot less taxing. It stimulates your nervous system and makes you feel more comfortable with heavy weight on your back. This is a way to overload your squats, which will allow your body to recognize and adapt to heavier weights beyond your current capabilities. Be conservative if it's your first time trying this. Continue to add 5-10% for each set and up to 20% over your 1RM. Unrack it and hold it for 10 seconds then put it back down. Warm up to about 90% of your max but don't squat this weight. What's your best squat tip? Bronwen Blunt – Nutrition and Strength Coach Do heavy squat stand-ups.
