Jesus Christ on a bike (or a squat rack), this is either my first time meeting pause squats, or the last time was so mentally traumatising that I forgot all about it. Anyhow, it’s kind of cute how my program says 15-20 reps and I died on rep 6 😂. I could do 20 reps if I didn’t go as deep, but wanted it make every single rep count so went as deep as I could. Also the hold seemed longer in my head - I’m not clever enough to count seconds in my head while also keeping track of rep count, probs explains why I work in a supermarket rather than having a proper job. Anyway, will try and add a few more reps each week but these things are tough. Legs are gonna be ded tomorrow. Endurance day is rubbish, but it’s done now. 🎬1: squat holds 25kg 8 reps 🎬2: 15 reps at 35kg . . . #puregym #ukfitnessblogger #puregymleeds #legday #legendurance #sqauts #pausesquats #endurance #asstograss #legworkout #thisgirlcan #sweatpink #girlswhosquat #fitfam #fitness #squatrack #dickhead (at The Springs Leeds) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvTvbitF1bk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d43jnjif4dw5

This was set 5 of pause squats. I’m definitely going to work on pausing for a longer when I’m down there but I was already feeling my quads. This is my 2nd leg day in the week and am focusing more on my quads considering I can still feel my hammies from the beginning of the week. Shout out to @manny_fresco7 for the filter. I do train like an angel. #trainlikeanangel #snapchatfilter #drowing #aboogiewitdahoodie #kodakblack #pausesquats #squats #legday #legdayworkout #justmoveathleticclub #justmove #justmovesl #gymlife #gymrat #gymflow #healthylifestyle #healandfitness (at Just Move - South Lakeland)
We often just see the end result, whether on TV or social media. I think that’s just the cherry on top. The hard work and grit that get you there is where change happens. . . . #thejourneyistheway #oly #weightlifting #lifelessons #performance #grit #sundayfunday #reflections #pausesquats https://www.instagram.com/p/B1B_uRcFm8g/?igshid=1dtk6ft4qmojr
Great day for squatting, beginning a developmental lifting week. Pause squats on the SSB working up to 220 with the weight still moving fast. Mid depth box squats with the Duffalo bar working up to 260, again bar moved fast. Finished with straight squats with the camber bar, working up to 250. Weight moved well but I felt a little uneven in my side to side stability, but that's why they made this bar. Feeling ready for another strain week next week. #dontbelazy #squat #monolift #ssbyokebar #primalstrengthandfitness #boxsquats #duffalobar #buffalobar #camberbar #pausesquats #stoughtonsstrongestgym (at Primal Strength and Fitness LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtMVFdAs5g/?igshid=5sspnc337m89

Hello and I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July! Here's a quick #trainertip brought to you by yours truly. I began incorporating the #pausesquat into my #squat warmups two weeks ago and I recommend you do the same. Pause Squats just what they sound like: descend to the bottom and hold for at least two seconds. Do them because holding the bottom position increases #timeundertension, stimulating the quads, therefore acting as a catalyst for further growth. Do them because the increased TUT improves the #concentric portion of the squat - the explosiveness. Do them because your chest will be forced to lead in the ascension from the bottom as you explode up, followed by your #hips. This obviously is a blatant reinforcement of #movementpatterns. Here's 185 paused at the bottom. It's 75% of yesterday's desired weight of 265. For more tips, as well as basic, yet effective #strengthtraining, I'm available for #oneononepersonaltraining at the iconic @strongandshapely. I'm also available for #onlinepersonaltraining and #nutritioncoaching via Zoom and Skype. I'm also available for #athomepersonaltraining.
