New Video Coming on this Soon!

In this next area of focus, I address common mistakes frequently occurring during squats. While the squat may seem straightforward—stand with weight, squat down, stand back up—there are crucial factors that many overlook, impacting performance optimization.

Next week, I will release a video covering three major squatting mistakes and their solutions for a stronger, more efficient squat. Let’s briefly tease a few fundamental issues often misunderstood in squatting.

Common Mistakes I See

Firstly, proper abdominal bracing is crucial. Do you truly understand how to brace your core correctly, or are you merely flexing your abs, hoping they’re strong enough to bear the load? Do you draw IN your belly button, trying to touch the spine? It’s not the best way…

Next, Preparing with a secure lifters wedge and overfall brace, pulling your pecs and lats down in an anti-shrug position, and establishing a solid foundation from feet to head is crucial for leveraging maximum power, safety, and stability.

Another common mistake is stance width. Many pro and average Joe squatters mimic their favorite lifters without considering their anatomical needs. This can be problematic for some and a disaster for others! Stay tuned for a more in-depth breakdown next week!
