If you're looking for a way to increase your squatting strength, then you need to try the ANDERSON SQUAT
The Anderson squat is a variation of the squat where the lifter starts from a dead stop position at the bottom of the lift rather than from a standing position. This variation is often used to overcome sticking points in the squat and to improve strength at specific points in the range of motion. It's performed by setting up safety pins in a squat rack at the desired depth, resting the barbell on the pins, and then lifting the weight from the dead stop position.

The hinge!
This is the second post of my movement pattern series. If the squat is the king of all exercises, the hinge would sit next to it as the Queen.
This grid is how I usually like to move clients through and around the hinging pattern. Looking at the middle column as the main route, it offers a nice 6-step variation to building up the hinging movement pattern.
Starting at the top and moving down, I have progressions that go from simple to more complex. Similarly, starting from left to right, I have lateralisations that can offer a nice side step to the main variation.
Whilst there are endless amounts of exercises I could have added, this grid offers a SIMPLE, FLEXIBLE and CLEAR approach to be able to move people about the hinging pattern.
Let me know your thoughts below!

The KING of all exercises... the SQUAT!!!
This is the first post of my movement pattern series. Starting off with the squat.
This grid is how I usually like to move clients through and around the squatting pattern. Looking at the middle column as the main route, it offers a nice 8-step variation to building up the squatting movement pattern.

When you are exercising, you want to make sure you have a few things right:
• A coach who you can trust
• An environment where you feel comfortable
• And results that matter
