: What stability has done for me 😄
It's not a secret squat is my worst lift! I'm going to make this as simple as possible and tell you what I did to increase my squat. I know this is embarrassing but oh well!! I don't need to lie to anybody. At the top of the year I was doing 225lbs for a struggling 3 sets of 6-7 reps. I'm not even sure what my max was. All I know is I was SCARED to even try 315lbs!!! Anyhow, after doing some research I decided to really really develop my hamstrings, calves, and tibialis anterior. I made it a point to challenge these muscles as if it were the bench or deadlift (exciting lifts) and really attack them. After several weeks I was able to do sets of 275lbs, which was astonishing for me 😂. Now after several more weeks of implementing this approach I have become more than confident with 3 plates and it's barely June! I'm convinced the attention I've been giving these supporting muscle groups is primarily the reason why I've been breeding success in these lifts. One can infer the development, which in turn increased STABILITY in the movement, are correlated to the increase in my squats!
BUT then again it might be the #romeleos 😂 JK!
Oppose to increasing the frequency of the lift you're trying to better, why not develop the secondary muscle groups that contribute to that lift?
