🛑STOP! 🏋️♀️SQUAT!
Discover 3 Powerful Benefits of Paused Squats for Powerlifters:
1. Enhance Core Stability: Holding the squat at the bottom position forces your core to work overtime, improving strength and stability.
2. Increased Muscle Engagement: The pause extends the time your muscles are under tension, increasing muscle fibres recruitment of core, quad, and glutes. This leads to enhanced strength and muscle growth.
3. Strength at the Bottom: Pausing deactivates the stretch reflex at the squat’s lowest point, requiring your muscles to exert extra effort to start ascending. This builds strength in what is often the weakest part of the squat.
