I tried a 130kg / 286lbs pause front squat… Most front squats fail because balance & stability break down BEFORE leg strength. Long pause squats teach you to find your center of balance.

Can you do unassisted sissy squats? I like my third rep because I went deeper, took a pause, and managed to come back up. Sissy squats train so much at once. Your balance, focus, coordination, joint stability, tendons and of course the muscle. also one of the few moves that loads the rectus femoris in a fully lengthened position, something regular squats just don't do.

LEG EXTENSIONS BEFORE SQUATS Here’s why: If you do your set(s) of Hack Squats BEFORE you do your set(s) of Leg Extensions, you will see a pretty large decline in your output on Leg Extensions….it might be something like 20-25% less than what you could do fresh On the contrary, if you do your set(s) of Leg Extensions BEFORE you do your set(s) of Hack Squats, you will NOT see nearly as large a decline in Hack Squat performance comparatively….the decline in Hack Squat performance may only be 5-10% less than what you could do fresh This is mostly due to the resistance profile/overall demands of each exercise and it’s the main reason I often program Leg Extensions before any sort of Squat pattern on Lower days in my training plans A subtle but GOATED fatigue management play! (Btw…you can easily verify this for yourself by A/B testing it)

He squatted 528lbs / 240kg with a PAUSE! By eliminating the quick “bounce” in the bottom you build raw strength & your ability to maintain quality technique. This can improve overall squat performance & help break through plateaus.

Old Guys Lift: At 64 I can manage a double on the front squat with 220lbs (100kg) and I followed this with a set of overhead squats with 80lbs (36kg). But I still can't muster the athletic coordination to do a clean or a snatch. Christopher Smith

One of the fastest ways to rebuild athleticism after 40? Start balancing on one leg. This simple A-walk drill improves: • Balance • Hip mobility • Coordination • Single-leg stability 1-2 sets of 15 reps before your workout. Train muscles. But move like an athlete.

He squatted 660lbs / 300kg BAREFOOT!🦶🏼 Removing the confines of narrow tight shoes can actually be a performance ENHANCER, allowing you “root the ground” to find optimal balance & stability!

Here’s a look at what we want when we pause at the catch of a hang power clean Good counter movement Keep it close Move it FAST Catch it & GET TIGHT QUICK. Don’t let the bar push you down at all after the catch Balance THIS IS THE EXACT PLACE YOU PULL IT ON THE NEXT REP

This might be one of the most under-trained muscles in your whole lower leg. It's called the tibialis anterior, it runs down the front of your shin, and its main job is to lift the front of your foot up when you walk. At the lowest point of your step, your toes may only clear the floor by about a centimetre. Also called, minimum toe clearance in gait studies. This muscle is a big part of what keeps your toes off the ground. So when it gets weak, especially with age, your toes can scuff the floor and you trip more easily. That slow, foot-dragging walk you see in a lot of older people often comes down to weak shins. It's also what helps lower your foot down gently after your heel lands, instead of letting it slap flat. And because most people train their calves far more than the front of the leg, that imbalance can contribute to shin splints. A go-to for runners Also shows up in knee rehab Try this wall-supported version. You can do it anywhere.

Slow down your life, say no to things you don’t want to do, ground and sungaze, pause before you respond, grow a garden, be with nature, don’t watch the news, and recognize which thoughts are yours and not yours, say out loud “I choose love” to clear your head.
