The “Top-Down” set-up.

This technique in setting up uses the barbell as leverage to wind-up and create tension in the back. Athletes utilizing this method to establish starting position will often also “pump” the hips to fire up the hamstrings before winding down into the starting position.

The “Bottom-Up” set-up.

This technique in establishing starting position allows the athlete to utilize the barbell as leverage to wind the back up — generating tension, removing slack, and allowing the lifter to set the shoulders into a good position before taking off.

Think of a number of where you feel that your lift starts to breakdown. If you’ve any spent time diagnosing your own movement, then you probably also have a pretty good idea what happens — you come onto your toes, bar swings way out, jumping forward to catch the bar. Most athletes that come to me are also pretty savvy that way.

It’s Sunday; and while others like to do brunch, the ladies of #FuBarbell like to get together and #squat!
