HOW TO SQUAT WITH WEIGHT


FOR MAILING LIST SUBSCRIBERS ONLY!

A progressive series of exercises that will safely prepare you to squat using weights.

True Squats = knees and hips the same height

If you're going to reap the multitude of benefits that squatting can offer, you gotta get low enough. Where's that? Well, we want your hips to get as low as your knees, which means your thighs are parallel to the ground.

For each exercise, make sure you can do 3 sets of 10 repetitions without too much difficulty, before you go to the next level. You'll need a chair and a dumbbell for this series.

SQUAT 1: SIT TO STAND TO SIT

SQUAT 2: TAP DOWNS

SQUAT 3: HOVERS

SQUAT 4: SQUAT WITH WEIGHTS

Made it to squatting with weights and ready to progress?
