Why Squat?



















* The Squat is a core movement in the fitness and Strength & conditioning field. It is Neuromuscularly and Biomechanically very similar to a lot of athletic and everyday movements.

 *Bang for your buck* with over 200 muscles working whilst squatting it is an excellent movement for complete body strength. Lighter squat variations can also be used in circuits as they have an excellent metabolic effect.

 *Excellent for lower body injury rehab or prehab, the squat strengthens and stimulates the connective tissues of the lower body.

*Excellent for strengthening the core, loaded squat variations work the trunk isometrically adding stability to the core.

What Weightlifting did for me

What Weightlifting did for me Building the foundation My journey in Weightlifting started as a part of my Strength and Conditioning routine after researching methods to improve my performance levels in Mixed Martial arts. When undertaking my initial fitness instructor training I was introduced to machine resistance training and traditional free weight exercises like the Deadlift, Squat and Bench press. These movements helped me build a solid strength foundation. I was lucky enough to know an ex high level Powerlifter Royston McGregor who took me through a few sessions improving technique and I applied this to my training practices. Chiu (2007) establishes that Powerlifting and Weightlifting training methods can be seen as complimentary in increasing sport performance as building strength is vital to the transition of becoming powerful. When this foundation phase is complete the shift of strength work should be focused on maximal power production ( Bompa & Haff, 1999)...

  Bodyweight training is an age old training method used by militaries dating back to Greek and Roman times. Bodyweight training can be defined by using the bodyweight as the resistance tool via gravity and ground reaction forces. It's a minimalist and highly effective training method that encompasses multi plantar, 3 dimensional training. Demonstration of the side plank Why bodyweight training   With the lengthy lockdown periods experienced during the worldwide pandemic people have had to become more resourceful with training, along with gym closures there has been an equipment shortage. This has been devastating to peoples training which would normally include Olympic barbells, free weights and dumbells etc. I know from personal experience and the experience of my clients that training motivation can be hard to come by as there can be a belief that training without the above tools would not be as effective.

  Introduction Kettlebells have been proven to increase muscular strength  Kettlebells increase muscular power Kettlebells aid in the increase of aerobic capacity The kettlebell originates from Russia, It was initially a counter weight for weighing scales in the 1700s it's only later on that the kettlebell was used as a resistance training tool.  Kettlebells are still reasonably new in the western fitness world and have coincided with the recent ‘functional training’ boom in the last 15 years ( Eckert & Snarr, 2016).    You could describe kettlebells as a cannonball with a looped handle and mostly constructed out of cast iron, although some can be made of rubber and plastics. Kettlebells are similar to olympic barbells and dumbbells in that they are extremely flexible and many different movements can be performed with them. With lockdowns and future potential lockdowns they could have an advantage over barbells as they are not 7 foot long and tend to be a lo...
