Exercise: Pause Squat

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend

• Begin in athletic stance with toes pointing slightly out and bar on back
• Focus on high point on wall in front of you, then squat down with control until thighs and hips are below knees
• Pause for two seconds
• Explosively drive upward into start position

Sets/Reps/Rest time: 8/3/90 seconds

Krasinki’s Keys
• Since it’s an explosive movement, you don’t want so much weight on the bar that it turns into a struggle.
• Keep your chest up and lead with it on the way up.
• After the two-second pause, generate velocity immediately, not gradually.
