The Anderson squat, starting with the bar on safety catches in the bottom position, can build confidence for beginners.

“I work with like the catch bars on so um a technique that I would do and incorporate into a new person's program if I was training one-on-one would be the Anderson squat so you basically start with the bar on the catches so you position them you start in a low position yeah yeah so you're finding the clients um I guess horizontal position at the bottom of the squat and that's where you start so the the thighs are yep parallel to the ground you start in that position and the rep is up down up yeah absolutely so that's a really um empowering exercise that I think helps build confidence”
