Today, I'm going to show you an exercise called the Double Club Samurai Squat with the RMT Clubs. This exercise is great for getting better, getting more range of motion in your squat on the ground, as well as improving athletic performance. Normally, what we're going to do is take a couple of 2lb clubs (but I only have a couple of 4lb clubs), so we're going to do it with that. How we start this exercise:
Hold the clubs 'here.' If you need to, (say this is too heavy for you), try and choke up on the clubs. Get that lever arm a little shorter. So, what I'm going to do is load up on the clubs 'here,' unload them behind my back, get in the readiness position, find my "squat" stance, and I'm going to go and drive my hips down into the ground into my squat. As I come down, I'm going to bring those clubs out in front of me. From this position, I'm going to take one club back, try and keep my upper body stable, and try and get that club to get in between my shoulder blades. Then I'm going to bring this club back, and switch out to the other club. Go to the shoulder blade, make sure those "lats" are pulling, come back, and now, I'm going to load both clubs. Pull with those "lats," and stand.
Five good reps, and then try to relate that to ground race activity. What you'll find is that you are a little bit more springy, you're actually a little bit more open, and you can do things better athletically.
Once again, that's the Double Club Samurai Squat with the RMT Clubs.
