27 lessons to overhaul your squat
The squat isn't one lift. It's a family of patterns.
The squat is often treated as one movement when it's really a family of distinct patterns. This module covers the functional anatomy, mobility, and squat technique and assessment behind great squatting, plus detailed coaching of the front, weightlifting and powerlifting style squats.
You'll also learn how predictor lifts guide strongman squat training and powerlifting squat programming, as well as weightlifting, streetlifting and team sports. Then use squat periodisation models like Norwegian, conjugate and supra-maximal training to hit PBs.
A full toolbox for squat technique and assessment, to diagnose limitations
Coaching cues for front, weightlifting & powerlifting style squats
Predictor ratios to guide strongman squat training and powerlifting squat programming
Five programming periodisation models, specified to the squat
A library of assistance work to fix structural weaknesses
