NEXT LEVEL TIPS: WHAT THE SQUAT?!
There are so many squat variations out there but which squat is actually right for you?
Swipe through to find out ๐
GOBLET SQUATS
These are a great variation if youโre new to squatting as they teach correct posture, challenge the core and are a great place to start building strength before moving on to a barbell.
This is where most of us started too ๐
BARBELL BACK SQUAT
This is a great variation to build some serious strength. With the barbell across your traps youโll be able to load this the heaviest of the squat variations.
BARBELL FRONT SQUAT
This is a great option for those wanting to challenge themselves and load heavier without putting too much pressure on the lower back. It seriously works the core and gets the quads burning!
This requires a lot of mobility to keep the bar in place but we have variations to make it more accessible for people who have limited mobility.
SAFETY BAR SQUAT
Got dodgy shoulders or wrists that donโt love a barbell? The safety bar squat is a gamechanger. Supporting the bar in front of you with your hands allows for a more comfortable shoulder position.
The best part is the safety bar allows us to lift heavy just like a traditional barbell back squat.
At Levels we believe your squat should fit you, not the other way around. We choose your variation depending on what your body needs and what youโre working towards. Thatโs the whole point of coaching, itโs built around you. ๐
