Split Squats v.3

Nick | 03/14/2017 | 1

This time we’ll be loading a bar on our backs, but the same basic tenets apply.  We want the hip hinge of the front leg to be strong and posteriorly dominant (you should feel those hammies).  While the torso will incline forward, the spine should stay aligned and not flex forward to increase the incline.  And the hip of that back leg should be square to the other hip – keep that back heel lifted.  Learning to stabilize this well will have an immediate pay off when we do some loaded step ups in the WOD.

More dumbells today too.  17.3 gave us a break from dumbells, but that doesn’t mean Dave Castro is done with them yet…
