Jay Cuttler’s Technical Approach to Master the Squats
- -Keeping the Head Back: He emphasizes keeping the head back and up a little bit while going down and also holding the rod tightly makes the set very smooth and one will be able to take out more reps than usual.
- -Going Full Down: The ass-to-grass approach has been the old-school bodybuilding preaching but it is supposed to be followed religiously if one wants to get bigger and more muscular quads and hamstring.
- -Don’t ever skip the Sets or Reps: If one wants to achieve the desired result then he must be honest toward his modus oprandy. Skipping the reps or even sets is a Big NO in Bodybuilding. Whether it’s 2 sets or 3, 12 repetitions or 16, you should not leave the squat rack until you get done with it.
- Must focus on Breathing and Breathing out: Jay firmly says that the breathing process is the most important part for getting the reps out smoothly and one should focus on that while performing squats, especially the back squats. The more you breathe in and breathe out the more smooth your reps will be.
