@liftwlilla: Form over weight always!!! Barbell backsquat form tips: - Set the bar securely across your upper traps, not sitting directly on your neck. - Brace before you descend w a big breath into your stomach, then tighten your core like you’re about to be hit. - Keep your feet roughly shoulder width apart with toes slightly turned out. Adjust a little depending on what feels natural for your hips. This will depend person to person - Think ‘sit down between your legs” rather than overly pushing ur hips backwards. - Let your knees travel forward and track in the same direction as your toes. Knees going over your toes is perfect, your don’t want to collapse inward or outward - Keep pressure through your whole foot, heel, base of your big toe and base of your little toe. It’s always much better to squat in flat shoes with a minimal sole, barefoot even: mine here are a bad example - Squat as deep as you can while maintaining control, balance and a stable spine. You don’t have to force extra depth. - On the way up, think ab “pushing the floor away” and have your hips and chest rise together, try not to let your hips shoot up first. - at the top, simply stand tall, don’t aggressively lean back or hyperextend your lower back, keep your knees soft don’t lock them out #workoutmotivation #gymmotivation #squat #gymgirl
