Accessory lifts are exercises that help you to strengthen smaller muscle groups. They should form part of every strength workout – warm up, primary exercise, accessory lifts and cool down.

Each of the main compound exercises can be done with a wide variety of accessory exercises so it can be difficult to know where to start. That is why we've put together a series of blogs to help, and this week we're focusing on the Squat.

Many of the exercises are performed using a Plyo Jump Box and either a Medicine Ball or Sandbag.
