Squatober is a month-long celebration of everything Squat. It's a pre-programmed month where Squats are done (along with select exercises targeting the upper body) Monday through Saturday of every week. Sunday is the day of rest, and the month of knee-bending culminates with a world wide PR Party Celebration where each person goes after a shiny new PR for their Squat!
Squatting every day, or in the case of Squatober, almost every day can be highly beneficial. But, like anything, how you go about squatting that often is very important.
I caught up with Ausmus, the SquatFather himself, to get some of his thoughts and opinions on squatting every training day. For those who do not know Aaron, he is an NCAA D1 shot put champion and strength coach. He has experience throughout the SEC and is now in his second stint as the head football strength coach at USC. He is also the creator of Squatober.
According to Aaron, the biggest obstacle to overcome when endeavoring to squat every day is your own mind. Doing anything consistently requires a certain amount of discipline. Squatting for 27 out of 31 days in a month requires a lot of discipline. Here are a few tips to help you be as successful as you can be during Squatober.
Why I'll Be Squatting Every Day of October (And Why You Should, Too)
