How to overcome your fear of the squats

Last Friday I spoke coach, as each strength, no matter how strong it is, always experience some kind of fear if you unfamiliar face weights.

Today I'll 2 techniques to reveal you to overcome your fear of squats. 

The first is called work stoppages and goes as follows: after your squat sets, choose a weight, which is about 45 kg heavier than your work Gewicht.Jetzt below bar where unrack weight, walking backwards, you usually squat and stand there for 10 seconds. Then go back to the rack and the bar down.

Work stoppages strengthens your joints and ligaments while you used to lift heavier weights. Make sure you do your power rack within, with the high safety pins and ready to catch the bar would not go wrong.

There I admits that a different technique to overcome your fear of squats, share in an instant. In 2005 I did first indoor rock climbing for a few months. Was pretty good 5 c could within weeks without even using climbing shoes or chalk rock climbing. If I ever move would stop, I'd probably get in climbing.

The funny thing is that I have indeed fear of heights.This turns out to be quite usual and the usual advice is to fall practice.Here's why: it's know you are safe and there is experience.Once you experience, then the psychological barriers are removed and can really going all out.

The same method applies the safety pins Kniebeugen.legen you from your power rack so that the weight to start then squat and let fallen.Die are intentionally pins fangen.Sie no longer know the barbell, it is safe, it experienced re-start is how you can overcome the fear of injury on squats, and this is also why you absolutely need a power rack (or squat is with saw horses).

Most of the things that you fear passieren.halten become that almost never in mind to.

Similarly such as work stoppages strategy for squats I rack lockouts before every time I feel bench press me a bit intimidated about heavy weight.Sometimes es.Nicht Yes works always though.Aber it is still, if you fear failure, all you can do is better than sticking to the same weight for the fear of the Scheitern.manchmal your put best foot.And small tricks (strikes, lock-outs etc) like this you little confidence, that you need.

Interesting that this article should come today.

Last year I back far enough, a plate on the side of the squat rack on the way down truncated stumbled and fell back on the Pins.Nichts hurt, but my pride so I only laughed, re-racked and finished my session.

After a summer spent Sprint canoe I work my way back to some semblence of strength (week 5) gesichert.Es 122.5 kg of hooks felt strange hard and played my back but its only 122.5 kg! went my back (see history of SIJ questions) and there was no way back in the hole of the squat 2 bis.Ich erupted on pins, it crawled, swore that stretched and back plates on the Baum.Das day and probably the rest of the week was done for me as well!But although as I write, there are beads of sweat on my forehead from the pain, I know, it could have been much worse.

This is twice the equipment has been proven and I know beyond doubt that if I cannot lift it I it will lift and if I find I can not me the rack then - nothing to fear WILL protect!

The work stoppages are an idea, I had not read that before great Spitze.Ich will add definitely this to my squats (which are really improve and I will hit my 6 weeks 1.5xsBW.)SL5x5 is so damn reasonable when compared to most of the nonsense, I see the people in our Navy / Marine Corp fitness centre.

These two ideas are Groß.Sie can also add in heavy squats use exclusively help reverse band squats get comfortable pushes heavier loads.

As for the power rack I bought my own and dumped the gym! it's much better to train in my house on my time in my own way without fear me hear yell and where I can use chalk.
