Barbell Full Squat

Legs · Barbell

How to do it

A normal squat but **pausing 2 or 3 seconds at the bottom**, staying tight and not relaxing. Removing the bounce makes the drive purely muscular with nowhere to hide: use considerably less weight than your normal squat. You feel quads and glutes in the most stretched position. Keep the chest tall through the pause, that is where people collapse.

Also works: Glutes, Core
