Mastering the Squat (Free Video)Written on September 16, 2010 at 7:00 am, by Eric Cressey As promised in my last video, here is another free video tutorial that goes over the techniques for both free squatting and box squatting – as well as a substitute exercise you can use if you just don’t quite have the mobility you’ll need to squat safely. I think you’ll really like it and be able to put some of these tips into practice right away; check it out: We’ll be back soon with a final video that’ll give you the low-down on just how comprehensive the Show and Go program really is. The 10 Best Ways to Dramatically Increase Your SquatWritten on January 1, 2008 at 6:35 pm, by Eric Cressey If you’re an athlete – you must squat. Period. This straight-to-the-point gives you 10 tips you can use right away to instantly increase your squat strength, which means more strength on the combat field! Big Bad BandsWritten on January 1, 2008 at 3:53 pm, by Eric Cressey Ask any successful lifter what works best, and he’s likely going to tell you that anything will work, but not forever. With that in mind, it’s imperative for all lifters to have an extensive toolbox from which to draw when it comes to building size and strength. Everyone knows about free weights. Bodyweight-only training has been around for centuries. We’ve got Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley trying to sell Total Gyms, and Tony Little screaming in our ears about his damn Gazelle. However, not many people are preaching the virtues of training with resistance bands – most likely because people aren’t aware of how versatile a set of implements they are. An Interview with Bob YoungsWritten on January 1, 2008 at 3:52 pm, by Eric Cressey As one of the best powerlifters in the world today, Bob Youngs has forgotten more than most lifters will ever know. He has more under the bar knowledge than almost anyone you’ll meet, and just as importantly, he’s as down to earth as they come. I’ve been working with Bob as he works to rehabilitate a few old powerlifting injuries. In the process of interacting with him, I’ve come to realize just how much the strength and conditioning community is missing with this guy flying somewhat “under the radar.” Fortunately, he was more than willing to do this interview for us. Enjoy! Healing the HipsWritten on January 1, 2008 at 3:27 pm, by Eric Cressey Ask any powerlifter what his most important joint is, and he’ll promptly answer “the hips.” The hips provide strength and stability in all three lifts. If you’re weak at the hips, you’re not going to do much on the platform. The same goes for all other athletes. The posterior chain is crucial for athletic success. |
