Plate Squats

Squatting is seen as one of the most beneficial and fundamental movements in resistance training. To properly execute the movement, the mover must utilize the hip, knee, and ankle muscles to descend and ascend with reasonable control and consistency. As success in squatting is determined by the sum of efforts of those joints, it is crucial to identify and maintain strength and range of motion, so we don’t rely too heavily on certain joints more than others to complete the task. Plate Squats are a quick addition to your warm-up, maximizing your range of movement and getting you moving well.
