Using Weighted Plate as a Raised Platform for Squats
Introduction to Using Weighted Plate for Squats
Learn how to utilize a weighted plate as a raised platform to enhance squat depth and flexibility.
Benefits of Using a Raised Plate for Squats
- Improved Depth: Raises heels to facilitate deeper squatting.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Helps overcome ankle flexibility limitations.
- Reduced Joint Strain: Allows deeper hip engagement with less strain on joints.
Here's how to perform squats using a weighted plate as a raised platform:
- Position the weighted plate under your heels to elevate them.
- Adjust your toe position slightly outward to align knees correctly.
- Lower into a deep squat, pushing knees outwards.
- Drive heels into the ground and extend your body back to the starting position.
Focus on maintaining proper form and using the raised platform to achieve greater squat depth effectively.
