How did you set up the GHR's?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference between Oly and regular squats. I looked up a few videos and can't really see much difference.
ReplyDeleteTo my knowledge, an Olympic squat is a high-bar, medium-narrow stance squat, done at full depth, that is, ATG. Think of the bottom position of the clean/snatch to get an idea of how deep.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Z center, the rusty plates were too intimidating in the basement. I also can't count by anything other than multiples of 45.
ReplyDelete@Q, Oly squats are usually high-bar squats, sometimes done with a closer than normal stance. Regular squats in our context are low-bar squats. They help you lift more weight, and are supposedly more glute/ham oriented than oly squats, which tend to have more quad work.
The reason I'm doing them is because since you can handle less weight, they are a little bit less intense on my body, and because I found that when my high-bar squat increased, so did my low-bar. I'm just doing them as a variation right now, I might switch back to low bar, but right now I'm progressing just fine on high bar.
