Hi I am Ian Lauer, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist here with Team Powertec. I always talk to you about full body workout development and in order to develop your body fully, you have to do power movements. So without any further ado the power rack and 4 power movements will help you develop your physique.

Starting off with the Basic Squat. You may have heard the old saying. “if you don’t squat you rot” it’s a pretty common and there’s no better way to build solid legs and a full body than by squatting. So step right in, we’ll start with a standard squat. Feet just slightly wider than shoulder width, toes forward or slightly out, breathing in as you press your heels into the floor squatting down and up.

Now it’s important to push the hips back at the beginning of the movement. That’s gonna keep your knees from shooting past your toes. A bad form example would be this which could be bad on your knees. Good form is here, hips back, chest up and exhale on the way up. That’s your squat exercise numero uno. Next were gonna make an adjustment, move into hand clings and also dead lift so stay tuned.
