Should middle school and high school athletes back squat ![🏋️♀️]()
Does your young athlete max out on the squat?
I had a soccer athlete come in and tell me his sport coach took the entire team through a 5 rep max in the squat. Many middle school and high school programs do this all the time.
However, the majority of kids can’t do a proper body weight squat. So there is no reason to add a weighted bar to their back.
Squatting is a skill. And must be practiced with good form to get better. Whenever you do it with improper form you are ingraining that bad pattern.
There is a progression we use at Athletic Revolution-Hilliard to move up to more advanced squats. But a lot of programs prime concern is just move as much weight as possible regardless.
#1 thing of any weight lifting program is injury prevention. Because if you are injured you can’t get better.
If you are a parent or athlete- make sure your form is spot on. I run an assessment here I’m happy to put your athlete through.
If you are a sport coach I’m happy do a workshop or talk shop. I’m here to help young athletes become the best they can be and continue to lift and train after their career is over.
