Paul Oneid – Re-Working the Squat

I recently competed at the EPC Open Challenge.  The meet was over on my second squat where I suffered a re-injury to my right quad.  Due to personal and professional commitments, I have decided not to compete until Fall 2018.  Between now and then I will be focusing on first getting healthy and then working on some very glaring weaknesses in the bench and deadlift specifically.

If you’ve been following along, you know I am working to correct a hip shift that is causing a whole host of issues.  So far, things are feeling to be on pace, except I am inconsistent and out of shape.  It will all improve with time, so I just need to be patient.

Working the high bar squat with band around the knees and tempo paused SSB squat.  The high bar work went well, but I am inconsistent.  I am trying to squeeze my glutes and quads at the top of each rep to centre my pelvis and and a strong hip hinge. I just have to be diligent and do it the same every rep.  It is a learning process and I am taking it slow.  I chose the high bar because it emphasizes the quads more.  The band is used as a form of reactive neuromuscular training, or RNT.  My knees tend to collapse, so by using a small amount of band tension in that direction, I engrain the proper glute and hip tension to keep the knees out.  The tempo SSB is geared towards feeling tension evenly during the whole ROM.  I am absolutely horrible at slow velocity training, but just like everything else, if I get stronger on these types of movements it should have great carryover.
