In this edition of JL Holdsworth's Friday Technique Video Series, Holdsworth demonstrates squat set-up. The 905-pound squatter looks at multiple squat styles and acknowledges their differences. Regardless of which style a lifter uses, Holdsworth explains why the set-up remains the same.
Whether you're in gear or gym shorts, using a monolift or squat rack, here are key aspects of the set-up that must remain the same to maintain safety, success, and strength.
1. Gripping the bar
2. Elbow position
3. Tightening the lats
