Tagged: form, skater squat
Looking for some feedback on the skater squat form. Last week I had one riser under this step, this week it is just the step. After reviewing the video I think I need to go back to 1 riser. Thoughts?
Conair, solid. Before going back to 1 riser can you try an experiment and re upload?
Put a lax ball between your back leg calf and hamstring to keep your back knee in flexion.
Do this and we will be able to decide whether you should progress or regress.
Also, given your strength levels, you are ready to load with a weight vest.
I’ll be sure to re upload when I do this again. Since I don’t have access to a weight vest what can I use instead?
You could hug a sand bag like Andy does here…
Followed your recommendations this evening at the gym:
I didn’t have a lacrosse ball, so I used one of those really light weights:
Then I added the sandbag (I think about 20-25lbs, but it wasn’t labeled)
It was way easier when I had the sandbag, I think you’ll see that in the videos.
