Increasing your lower body explosiveness w/ Coach Tredway | MAX EFFORT MUSCLE SUPERSETS
Increasing your lower body explosiveness
For athletes seeking to take their lower body explosiveness into the stratosphere, the Paused Front Squat and Russian Kettlebell Swing are two must-add exercises to your regimen.
Both movements are ideal for honing strength & power. It's time to unlock the full potential of your lower body explosiveness.
3 benefits from a more explosive lower body
Better Strength & Stability: Why pause? Requires more controlled muscle engagement. What's that mean? More stability + more force.
More Power & Hip Drive: Adding resistance bands amplifies the demand on the glutes, hamstrings, and hips. Using the band forces you to be more aggressive. Being more aggressive will lead to more explosiveness.
Athletic Movement Transfer: Both exercises have carryover to athletics. The pause front squat increases your ability to explode from a static position. The banded swing helps develop the explosiveness that is crucial in jumping, sprinting and changing direction.

Banded Russian Kettlebell Swings
