Foundational Squat Technique

Share

We use the squat to improve all aspects of our athletes’ performance – speed, strength, endurance, jumping height, and the ability to change directions. They require a balance of mobility and stability of the upper body while also activating the largest muscle groups in the lower body. This forces a coordination of effort between stabilizers and prime movers. The result is a physiological response that flushes strength-building hormones throughout the body, allowing the athlete to grow and adapt.
