A good squat must be stable, the spine must always maintain a natural neutral position, and at the same time, there must be no front, back, left, or right movements during the up and down process. Shift of center of gravity and tilt of pelvis and knees!
There are many trainings to improve the stability of squat movements, starting from basic breathing training, anti-movement training and similar movement patterns. Today we are going to introduce you to a great squat variation to help you make your squat more stable!
Resistance band hanging squats!
at Use elastic bands to hang loads on both ends of the barbell, and then perform squat training! This will create a lot of oscillations and disturbances in the barbell, creating a very unstable environment.
You have to overcome its sway, tilt, and stabilize it!
Unstable and unpredictable fluctuations on the barbell force the operator to tighten every muscle in the body to maintain the stability of the movement. Not only does it have an incredible effect on muscle activation, but it also almost imperceptibly forces the operator to perform movements in the most favorable joint position.
For those who are trying to train for the first time, it is recommended to make the elastic band shorter!
Things to note
The method is the same as the traditional barbell squat! Bend your hips and knees to squat down, always keeping your spine stable and neutral, and use the strength of your buttocks when squatting up
Slowly and smoothly Control the force of squatting and let the bar move quietly and straightly downward. It will take 2 to 3 seconds to squat; the descending time is also approximate.
Don't try to be Hercules when performing this move; you don't need a lot of weight to create a challenge.
