The Split-squat
Weighted strength-development
•
6m 14s
THE WHAT:
The 'split-squat' is a fundamental strength & loaded-mobility development drill which should NOT be confused for a traditional 'lunge'. The main differences are that the split-squat maintains a fermur-to-femur sagittal line, meaning that stance has the back & front foot on the SAME forward line (in a lunge the feet are hip-width apart).
Whilst the latter is more stable and allows more force production for strength-development, the former (i.e. 'split-squat' stance) add a DESIRABLE instability aspect, contributing more toward mobility development.

High box 'step-up'
THE WHAT:
A loaded, unilateral-emphasis context developing strength through the range of a high 'step-up' pattern. As the movement begins "bottom/up" firstly with a CONCENTRIC phase (i.e. as in a 'Deadlift'), to express maximal "starting-strength" optimal structure must be locked in from the BEGI... -
Standing overhead-pressing (barbell)
THE WHAT:
Fundamental overhead-pressing strength development, with a barbell. In comparison to dumbbell or kettlebell contexts, a cumulatively greater load can be used for both greater overall intensity & neurological demand.This makes them a worthwhile project for maximal-strength development ...

Loaded-carrying contexts
THE WHAT:
Lifting a heavy load, and walking. Two fundamental facts of life which, at first glance, can seem of insufficient intensity to compare to the likes of a 'Back squat' or 'Deadlift' - but there is a reason why forms of loaded-carrying are a staple of all 'Strongman' events.The load can ...
