How to Squat - The Definitive Guide

mirrim52

I saw this posted in the Fitness subreddit, and it looked interesting
http://strengtheory.com/how-to-squat/

I skipped all the biomechanics parts, because I have read SS, and skimmed some other parts, but it seems like a good read. I especially liked the part about getting past your sticking point, and how to brace properly. Also some interesting points about bar path in lower-weight squats.

Anyhow, a decent read and has some good troubleshooting.

whoa, and i thought ss was dense. i'm chewing my way slowly through it though, and it seems really worth the time.

Yeah, it's going to take me a while to work through that, but amazing information.

followed one of the links he provided to a piece by cressey on planks actually being great accessory drills for hip mobility. instristing.

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

i like how reasonable he is about the different options. not just high versus low and foot position, but the more meaty things too. like sitting 'back' versus sitting 'down' with the hips.

not to hijack the thread's intention, but i just found and watched this mark bell session with max aita, and i don't think i've found anything that's made squatting as simple as this.
