LSU Tigers Coach Tom Moffitt Back Squat Football Workout

Tom Moffitt, the head strength and conditioning coach for LSU Tigers football players, gives a how to on the back squat. The most important aspect of squatting is heavy squats. You got to calculate an attitude that you want to have before squatting. I tell our players all the time, especially squatting heavy, because if I’m not mentally or emotionally into it then it doesn’t matter how much weight is on the bar, I’m not going to do well at it. So, first is the mental aspect of it, and then the next step that’s very important is the set-up. We want our guys to have not a really wide grip, we feel like if I have a tghter closer grip then my upper body, my traps and my shoulders are going to have a better base to put the bar on. The next thing is when our guys take the wight off the rack, I only want them steping back two steps, one step with the right, and one with the left. Because, when training with heavy weights the closer you are to the rack, the safer that lift is going to be.””
