Tempo Back Squat
How to properly do a slow tempo back squat to increase time under tension! Tempo in weightlifting: the speed at which you perform each repetition of an exercise ⏱💨⁣ ⁣ *commonly expressed as a sequence of numbers that represent the different phases of a lift. The tempo is usually written in a format like “X:Y:Z,” where each number represents the duration of a specific phase of the exercise.⁣ ⁣ Here’s a breakdown of what each number typically represents in a tempo notation:⁣ ⁣ 1. Eccentric phase: The first number (X) indicates the time taken to lower the weight or move through the lowering phase of the exercise. This phase often focuses on muscle lengthening and control.⁣ 2. Bottom point: The second number (Y) represents the pause or iso hold at the bottom position of the exercise.

BOX SQUATS ERROR | the good and the bad of this leg workout…
I love Box Squats, but only under certain conditions 🥲🏋🏼‍♀️ So quick breakdown: Box squats are an effective way to strengthen your lower body and improve your overall fitness. They’re an exercise that involves squatting down onto a box or bench, pausing briefly, and then standing back up into first position. While this movement helps to improve strength in the glutes, hamstrings, and quads, as well as improve overall stability/balance, if box squats are not performed with proper form and technique, they can become dangerous. ⚠️ For example, leaning too far forward during the descent can put stress on the lower back. However, leaning back at the bottom of the movement can throw off the bar path & alter one’s ability to effectively stabilize the trunk of the body in the movement.
HOW ANATOMY AFFECTS YOUR SQUATS | It is important to remember that one size doesnt fit all w/ squats
This is just another friendly reminder that your #squat may look different than someone else’s (& that’s completely OKAY)⁣ ⁣ I’ve shared several posts in the past talking about the anatomical differences & how they can affect form in certain moves. However, for this post, I just want to focus on 3 things: ⁣ ⁣ 🦴 Femur Length⁣ 🩻Torso Length⁣ 🦵🏻Hip Anatomy ⁣ ⁣ & How it can Affect Individuals at Different Heights 👀👩🏼‍🔬⁣ ⁣ Things to consider: ⁣ ⁣ 🦴Femur Length: The femur is the thigh bone, and its length can vary among individuals. If someone has longer femurs, it can affect their squat form by altering the depth of their squat and the position of their torso. Longer femurs may require a wider stance (or more foot + knee external rotation) and a more forward torso angle

SQUAT DEPTH/FORM
As you lift heavier weights in a squat, the range of motion (ROM) may decrease due to several factors. • 1. Joint Stability: As you lift heavier weights, your body naturally tends to reduce the ROM to maintain joint stability and prevent injury. This is a protective mechanism to minimize the risk of overstretching or damaging muscles, tendons, ligaments, or other soft tissues around the joints. • 2. Biomechanics: The mechanics of the squat exercise can also cause the ROM to decrease as you lift heavier weights. When you have a heavier load on your back, it can put increased stress on the joints, particularly the hips, knees, and ankles. To compensate for this, your body may adjust the movement pattern, reducing the depth of the squat to avoid excessive stress on the joints. • 3. Musc

4 Favorite Hamstring Moves
Am I making this a series…...possibly k depends on how many of my fellow PT coworkers are down to dance & demonstrate * * Today's Muscle Group: The Hamstrings Make sure to bookmark this reel if you'd like to save it for workout inspiration later! Fun Fact: The hamstrings are a group of three muscles located at the back of the thigh. They include the Biceps Femoris, Semimembranosus, and Semitendinosus muscles. They 1) play a crucial role in hip extension and knee flexion. This means that they help pull the leg back behind the body and bend the knee. And 2) They also help to stabilize the knee joint. The hamstrings work with the quadriceps to maintain proper alignment of the knees and prevent excessive movement or injury. Our 4 favorite moves include (but are not limited to): • 1 D
