How to Squat Like a Pro: In-Depth Guide + Rare ELEIKO Tips!

This is a complete guide on how to squat like a pro, featuring expert advice for perfecting your technique and rapidly developing your strength.

This video is the first in a three-part series focusing on technique guides for the squat, deadlift, and bench press. I've wanted to create these videos for a long time—in fact, the interview with Eleiko was filmed a year ago. Sadly, due to life's unexpected turns, I couldn’t release them earlier. I'm very excited to finally present this work that delves into every aspect of squat technique with the right mindset. Please note that this video is not sponsored by Eleiko in any way; I included their insights solely to make this guide more complete and valuable. So here it is, enjoy!
