Wolverines building core strength,
maxing out squats in weight room
SQUATS. That's largely, though not entirely, what kept the Wolverine softball team busy last night at the Peter Bielfield Weight Room inside the Wesley West Field House on the Wesley College campus.
Squats are important for building core strength, essential for the fastpitch player seeking increased power, speed, agility – and, especially, sudden explosiveness (i.e., pushing nimbly against the ground) that translates into effective swings, throws, steals and fielding. These exercises strengthen the lower body, trunk and make bones stronger.
