We are in the isometric phase. Here, the focus is on holding the lift in a typical position of struggle or weakness before completing the lift. This phase will help you overcome sticking points by strengthening the muscles needed to lift the weight in that particular position.  For the Front squat, we will pause at parallel, on the way up. In part two, This one packs a punch! With an explosive hip opening as well as your grip playing a factor for all 3 movements, we're in for a spicy ride. We absolutely do not want to come out too hot on this one!

Athletes should approach their first round at a pace they think they can sustain, if we come into it like this and we feel we will be able to maintain it then we can make the choice to push a little harder in the next couple of rounds.
