Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to see how different forms of the squat exercise change my body's leg muscle activity. Four forms of the traditional back squat will be used: traditional back squat, barefoot squat, box squat, and traditional back squat with chains.
Primary Outcome
Participants will complete 5 sets of 10 repetitions at 70% of their 1 repetition maximum with 1-minute rest in between each set under different variations of the back squat. Each week, participants will be randomly assigned to complete a variation of back squat. Under each variation, surface electromyography recordings will consist of mean peak muscle activity as measured via BIOPAC BSL for the first and last sets of the training protocol. Thus, changes between first and last sets of the trainin
