Squat Strong, Squat Safe

This Saturday, you’ll be taking on 10 sets of double back squats. The back squat is a fundamental strength-building movement that targets the legs and trunk, and it's a cornerstone for anyone looking to build a solid foundation for weightlifting.

As always, our top priority is maintaining proper form and mechanics. If your technique is consistent and solid, feel free to increase the load across the sets and aim to build toward a new two-rep max. However, if your form starts to break down, it's better to stick with the same weight and continue focusing on movement quality rather than chasing numbers.

For those progressing in weight, start with larger jumps early on, then taper to smaller increments as you get closer to your top sets. The goal is to finish strong, with confidence in both your positioning and your power. 

See you all in group classes, on the zoom, or in the open gym.

Cheers,
Big Cat
