TEMPO FRONT SQUAT

Part #1
On the Minute x 9:

1 Tempo Front Squat
4 Seconds Down (eccentric)
4 Second Stand (concentric)

This is one continuous motion, where it takes the athlete four seconds to move to the bottom of the squat, where it’s immediate change of direction. However, the concentric portion (standing) is controlled as well, taking a full four seconds to get there.
