Breathing Squats

[Nathan]

why ongod's green earth can't you apply the technique to other bodyparts? It seems like a good warm-up that could be useful at the beginning of every workout.

Plus, the bi and tri training routine are structured rather differently and I wouldn't have expected that if this technique can't be applied to other areas. I'm lost as to why this works then.

I've read that's exactly what people do.

It appears breathing squats have evolved into many other things since Gironda's days

Good to hear cause otherwise my guess is that somebody is seriously pulling people's chain about it only working for bi's and tri's. That makes zero sense to me.

You definitely want to try breathing box squats. To make things even more random get your training partner to roll three six sided dice during your set. The number that comes up is how many reps you have to do!

I did a set today before bench. It stoked me up good and got me ready for a nice set! I always loved squatting before bench, made me feel stronger. I moved squat to pull day and started missing that. Now I can bust out 20 light breathing reps and get the same effect. Never thought of that before, thanks for the link!

oh are you refering to the gironda link? i hadn't gone through that. what i was refering to was the 20 repper (from shadow's old school routine).
