Steel Club Switch Mill Squats is a dynamic and challenging exercise that combines the benefits of a switch mill with the added intensity of squats. This full-body movement, executed with a steel club, targets key muscle groups, including the upper body, shoulders, core, grip, and legs. The movement not only enhances strength but also demands coordination and balance, making it an efficient and effective addition to any fitness workout.
