pause squats

[BOOEY]

Tried these for the first time today, went light, 135 lbs. Felt really good, I did 5 sets of 12 reps. I could really feel the burn in my quads, I may stick to pauses for a month or two and up the weight each week and aim betwen 4-6 reps/set. Def give them a try if you haven't already.

I do em all the time. I am assuming you are referring to pausing in the bottom hole position. When my ass is in the bucket, I pause for a count of three (sometimes two), then explode up. I even do my low rep (triples) this way. I have been doing em this way for so long now that doing regular non pause squats doesn`t feel right.....

They are definetly intense.

Pump on .....
