Squat rack is a common fitness equipment widely used in gyms and fitness centers. It is an ideal choice for deep squat exercises, which can help enhance lower limb muscle strength, improve explosiveness and stability.
Training method for using squat rack strength equipment:
1. Stand in front of the squat, keeping your feet shoulder width apart and slightly bending your knees. Grasp the squat stand with both hands and place the lever behind your shoulders. Then, while placing the lever on the support, adjust the posture to ensure stable contact between the lever and the shoulder. Maintain an upright upper body posture, keep your back straight, and look ahead.
When starting the squat, keep your shoulder blades close to your back and sit backwards with your hips. Keep your knees in line with your toes and squat down evenly. Control the squatting speed to prevent premature squatting from causing unstable posture or injury.
3. Depending on individual flexibility and training goals, different depths can be chosen for squats.
Proper breathing is crucial during squats. When squatting, inhale and keep the abdominal muscles tight; When lifting, exhale, relax the abdominal muscles, and maintain stable exhalation. This breathing method helps provide physical stability and core strength.
5. Deep squat frames typically provide multiple lever adjustment points to accommodate different heights and training needs. Adjust the height of the lever according to the height, so that it is close to the back of the shoulder. Ensure that the lever height is appropriate, not too high or too low, to avoid discomfort or instability during training.
6. Use a suitable weight and gradually increase the level of weight-bearing, but do not overload.
Squatting frame is a very effective training tool that can help you develop lower limb muscle strength comprehensively. By following the correct posture and training principles, gradually increasing the training intensity, you will be able to fully utilize the advantages of the squat and achieve excellent results in your training.
