Dave Tate Teaching the Box Squat‬‏

July 8, 2011 By Gregor Winter

After that impromptu bench press teching session, Dave Tate is teaching the Box Squat‬‏

Cues:
Grip: dig hand into the bar, tightest grip you possibly can do
pull shoulder blades together, push elbows down a bit
bring as much air in your belly as you can
arch your back, keep hips back
walk bar out four steps for beginners, 2 for advanced athletes
wide feet
push out on feet as hard as you can
flare knees out (activate hips glutes)
sit back, back, back BACK
knees behind ankle
get up, chest first, not hips first
