Squat Club - Keegan

It’s also a great way to develop a physique and character.

Squats always bothered my knees and I often squatted above what my back was ready for.

Squat Club is about squatting daily... for life.

If you can squat big weights you have the foundation to jump high, lift big weights and you will have good body composition and neural drive.

All other movements should be in proportion to your squat according to the ATG Principles.

Drive the squat UP!

Take the rest of the body with you.

John Broz is a well known Olympic lifting coach who you can learn more about in the guide. He didn’t let his star student bench press but he told him that by adding 100+ kg to his squat that his bench press max would go up despite not training it. Pat Mendez loved bench press and used to train it a lot.

Eventually Broz let Mendez bench for a few days and he did hit a new personal best on the bench.

Sure there is some carry over from Jerk and possibly other press variations but Broz is well known for not using a variety of presses and training very specifically for weightlifting.

Bottom line... if your BRAIN is able to fire your muscles better there is a generally element to that which carries over to all movements.

A brain that fires hard can send neural drive to any muscle.
