Isometric Row Squats
Exercise Overview
This is a warm up exercise that is used to engage the latissimus dorsi muscle while performing a squat. The purpose is to use this large muscle to support your core to stabilize your spine when doing squats, which becomes increasingly important the more you load your squat. Engaging the latissimus dorsi can help reduce any squat related back pain that you experience. To perform this exercise tie a light strength band down in front of you and pull it into a static row position and complete your regular squats while holding a neutral spine.
