If you need proof that paused squats are effective for developing absolute strength, watch Dimitri Klokov perform them below with an ungodly amount of weight. The great thing about them is that you can vary the length, location, and number of pauses, and whether to do them during the concentric or eccentric part of the movement. Paused squats will help reinforce good positioning as well as provide additional time under tension – a win-win. – Jason Brown
