Pause Squats 2-23-2026

We got pause squats on the menu again, y'all! Did you practice them last week?

Squats are a staple in any well rounded training program, and for good reason! They build strength, capacity, bone density, and many more benefits.

There are many variations on squats, too. They don’t have to be with a barbell or at your max capacity.

Today we are going to do pause squats. To do pause squats:

  • set up like you would your regular squat

  • brace your torso at a hard neutral

  • pull the bar into your back and shrug into it

  • sit to your squat position

  • pause at the bottom for your goal number of seconds

  • drive straight up WITHOUT dipping down first

Do 5-10 squats here, pausing 3 seconds at the bottom. You can do this! Take them one at a time.

See you tomorrow!
