Weekly tips

Each training program I've been in follows a schedule roughly:

  • Mon = Leg Day
  • Tue = Chest Day
  • Thu = Back Day
  • Fri = Arms

So the main movements are Mon = Squats, Tue = Bench, Thu = Deadlift, Fri = Curls

So you have a warmup, some variation of the main movement, and then
accessory work to focus on different muscle groups round the main
ones.

Low Bar Squat improvements

https://youtu.be/NtX8GGbDCuc

The defining difference between the high-bar squat and the low-bar squat is the bar placement. In the high-bar squat, the bar rests on your traps. With the low-bar squat, the bar rests a few inches lower on your posterior deltoids or your mid-shoulder.

Not sure which I prefer.

  • correct grip places the wrists into a neutral position and forearm and spine are closely aligned (do not rest your palm on the bar; avoid flexion). Elbows should be held down close to the torso: PIN YOUR ELBOWS TO YOUR SIDES! Everything that is note a prime mover to be locked in place throughout movement.

When squatting, the knees should be about one inch over toes. FEET SHOULD BE GLUED TO THE FLOOR! With no visible movement. BALANCE! Find your balance by rocking backward, then forward, then find your mid foot.

To practice do a slow controlled squat that lasts 3-5 seconds. Pay close attention to your mid-foot balance. Any shift in balance, stand back up and start over, descending even more slowly the next time in order to develop an awareness of your mid-foot balance.

Ultimately the goal is perfect balance with appropriate angles of the shin knees elbows and back for the lifters performance.

It’s ok to bend over in low-bar squat, and for the ascent, and when driving out of the bottom, it’s ok to stay bent over a little longer than you want to. Point your chest at the same spot you’re staring at (about 5 or 6 feet in front of you.
