The Greatest Squat Tip Ever!

The greatest squat tip ever
What we want to establish is where your resting squat is and where your active squat is - the position that you can maintain a neutral spine

People that cannot tell the difference between the two, lose strength and are also more susceptible to injury

First off, sit down into a squat as low as you can, is your lower back rounded? If so then this is NOT a position that you would want to load, it is absolutely fine to sit here and chill out but heavy weights would be a no no.

So how do we find out where your active squat would be?

Take a light weight or a bottle of water and hold it out in front of you, film yourself from the side and see how low down you can get without any movement from the lower back - then, see if you can gently set the bottle down and maintain that position without falling over

If you can, then this is a good depth for you, if you fall over or your back rounds then you should really keep practicing this drill until it comes more naturally too you!

If you feel like it is a mobility restriction that is holding you back then I would definitely start with the deep lunge test from The Simplistic Mobility Method as a movement to look at and start to implement!

If you are going to keep avoiding working on things like this - it will come back to bite you later on! Build a solid foundation and you will be squatting happily forever!
