Reflexive Trimetric Split Squat Oscillatory

RTM Split SQ

Coaching Points 

  • Split Stance and ¼ Squat: Begin by assuming a split stance with one foot positioned slightly forward and the other foot positioned slightly back. Lower yourself into a ¼ squat position, where your hips are slightly above knee level. This position provides stability and prepares your muscles for the movement.
  • Explosive Upward Movement: Focus on generating explosive power as you move upward. Drive forcefully through your legs and push off the ground with both feet simultaneously. Imagine trying to jump or accelerate quickly. The goal is to generate maximum upward force within the 6-inch range of motion.
  • Speed and Tempo: Emphasize speed and tempo during the exercise. Aim to move as fast as possible within the given range of motion. Focus on quick and explosive movements, minimizing any pauses or hesitation during the upward and downward phases.
  • Controlled Downward Movement: While the emphasis is on the upward movement, it’s important to maintain control during the downward phase as well. Avoid simply dropping down; instead, control your descent back to the ¼ squat position. This controlled movement helps develop muscular control and enhances the effectiveness of the exercise.
  • Engage Lower Body Muscles: Focus on engaging the muscles of your lower body throughout the exercise. Drive through your legs, activating the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calf muscles. This coordinated effort maximizes the power and force generated during the movement.
