Q & A for The 16% – How and Why? – Heels-Elevated Squat

March 26, 2020 By Bill Leave a Comment

Question: My questions are in regard to your video: Q & A for The 16% – Heels-Elevated Squat – Hip ER to Hip IR to Hip ER

1) Is the reason for pushing through the medial heel on the ascent to promote pronation (exhalation strategy)?

2) During the ascent, would there be any benefit to reversing the exact sequence used in the descent of the squat (instead of exhaling all the way to the top)? If so, what is an example where this would this be beneficial?

3) What superficial compressive strategy would you be reinforcing by taking at breath you took at the top and held through the “middle-propulsion” phase during the descent of the squat?

In this video: I’ll review and clarify the cues and the rationale behind performance of the heels-elevated squat. Make sure to view the video in question here.
