Why do people start squatting from the top position? Wouldn't it be smarter to start at the bottom?
>>77001222why would that be smarter
>>77001222An idiot is probably more likely to pull a muscle if starting from the bottom.
>>77001222Just do pause squats breh
>>77001246You eliminate the stretch-shortening cycle, which means that you are lifting the weight without using the stored elastic energy from the downward part of the squat.
>>77001280You still have to go up and down you dork
>>77001296no you don't>start from the bottom>go up>drop the weight>rerack>repeat
>>77001222Why do people do squats at all?
