What is a TUBOW? It's a Terribly Useful Block Of Wood that is - not surprisingly - terribly useful. Specifically, it helps lifters avoid forward knee travel and allows for maximum use of the hips when squatting. At Testify, we have often used vertically-oriented parallettes to accomplish the same goal. It is probably worth noting that the TUBOW is slightly superior to the parallettes since the TUBOW will fall over if you squat incorrectly. Frustrating? Possibly. Effective at improving your squat? Indubitably. For more, head over to Starting Strength.
