To Start, Set The Pins Of Your Power Rack, At The Desired Squat Depth.
For The Sake Of Getting The Job Done With This Lift, Any Variation Of A Barbell Will Do.
Setting Up The Bar On The Pins Forces You To Perform The Squat From The Bottom Position.
Unlike The Regular Barbell Squat Where You Lower The Barbell Into The Squat Position (Reducing Force, Eccentric, To Produce Force Concentric) The Start Of This Lift Forces You To Start The Concentric Component First.
Simply Put, Squatting The Bar Up First, Instead Of Lowering It Down To Start The Lift.
We Call This "Static Over Dynamic".
Training The "Static Over Dynamic" Component In The Over All Development Of Strength.
Also Known As "Starting Strength".
The Pins Allow You To De-Emphasize The Lowering Portion Of The Lift, While Reaching The Desired Squat Depth, Every Time.
How Does This Translate To Fighting?
Fighting And Competing In The Ring, Cage, Or Mat?
A "Go To" For Building Explosive Strength And Power For Throwing A Punch, Kick, Or Take Down.
Any Kind Of Squat, If Performed And Programmed The Correct Way Will Do That, But There Are Other Benefits To Starting A Squat From The Bottom Position.
For Us, This Is A Great Way To Build Strength, While Decreasing The Amount Of Eccentric Muscle Work For The Sake Of Recovery.
Eccentric, Meaning Reducing Force.
In A Regular Squat, You Have To Lower The Bar By Squatting Down Into The Bottom Position First.
During This Lowering Faze Of The Lift, You Are Eccentricly Reducing Force (Squatting The Bar Down), To Concentricly Produce Force (Squatting The Bar Up, To Lock The Lift Out).
The Eccentric Part Of The Squat Is Where The Majority Of Muscle Break Down, Hypertrophy, And Soreness Comes From.
Eccentric Work Is Vital In The Overall Development Of Building Strength For Sport.
From A Recovery Standpoint, The Squat From The Bottom Position (Off The Pins, Or Off Blocks, Depending On Your Set Up), Is Great Because It Gets The Job Done (Building Strength), Without Getting Your Ass Kicked With Days Of Soreness.
