💪🏼 Scrum Power, Explosiveness, Leg Drive, Speed, & Even A Big Strength Plateau Buster For your Cleans 💪🏼 Yes, these are all ways rugby players can benefit from adding some Front Squat Machine sets into your routine along with the staple athletic lifts like Back & Front Barbell Squat, Clean, Deadlift, Snatch, & Push Press. By @aaronlesue 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ———————————————— As a general rule, athletes should be doing at least 80% functional athletic movements when weight training. The key to adding some machines into that is knowing when to add it into your routine and why! 👇🏼 - We all know how important leg and core strength is for athletes. Some other things to consider are: 1. Remaining healthy. 2. Correcting imbalances. 3. Enforcing good technique with training. 4. Overall mobility. - All of these things help keep you strong and capable. So here are a few great benefits and reasons to add some machine front squats when appropriate or sometimes necessary. 👇🏼 ———————————————— 1. Lower Back & Knee Health!! Core athletic lifts like the back squat put a lot of pressure on the axial skeleton & low back. Machine front squats take some of that load and allow you to work legs when your back needs a little rest. - 2. Its great for beginners to learn correct front squat technique and proper movement patterns before using a barbell, or veterans that need to recorrect their movement patterns. - 3. This movement more imitates how we actually jump and run. Allows you to really be explosive in a safe, fixed motion which can greatly improve overall leg strength when coupled with other core athletic movements. - 4. This movement can transfer over and really power up your cleans! It’s a great strength plateau buster!!! - So add it in, switch it up when needed and reap the overall health and strength benefits!! - #rugby #strength #conditioning #rugbynation #workout #fitness #rugbystrong
