If you know me, then you know I dread leg day. Mainly cause it’s hard as hell and nothing gets me more winded or sore than squatting. It should be noted that I do believe that nothing gets you better at squatting then just getting under the bar and squatting-and not in the damn smith machine!!! However, if you have a sticking point, anderson squats are a great exercise to add into your repetoire. When I do add them in-I still add in the back squat-its just my preference.
Adjust the weight accordingly and try them….like the video tagline says-TRAIN HARD-pay your dues and put in the work-nothing worth having comes easy– don’t forget to let me know how your workout goes in the comments below!
