Exercise of the Day #3

ATG Squat (Full Squat)

DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF MACHINE/UNIT WITH SLIDES (or you will grow a vagina AND you're knees will go bad........well, its pretty bad for your knees)

Unrack the bar across the TOP part of your trapezius muscle (traps, or those big mountain things that attach your shoulders to your neck) so this is called a high bar position. While positioning your head looking upward (NOT into the mirror, and I don't care how balanced you are, this positions your body all the way down to do this correctly and with more power) squat all the way down till your hamstrings sit on your calves, then keeping your face pointing upwards squat the weight back up to starting position.

This works core strength and flexibility in both core and legs, it builds power across the strength range of motion of the legs, it makes your butt look nice (no homo).

Crossover to pitch is for building sprint power and driving power to drive into scrums and mauls.
