Anyone out there struggle with 'butt wink' when doing squats? How do you fix it ? Also has anyone had success using Suzuka light work outs? Did you get great results?

    What the front door is a butt wink? I mean are you winking while squatting?

    I seem to involuntarily do the 'butt wink' which won't give you the results you are working for. I have tried to not go as deep, change the space of my legs and yet the wink still occurs. Looking for pointers :)

    Do you look up and make sure your knees feet?

    I try to make my weight stay on my heels and for the most part my knees are over my ankles. This however is impossible for me to keep up the deeper I go. When you sink low , it is pretty near impossible to keep your knees directly over the ankles. I heard that butt wink was due to problems in the back. I have mild scoliosis and this may be part of my problem. I was just wondering if I would still get the benefit of a squat, any specific squat positions I could try, and if the squat position isn't the best for me, any alternative exercises that are awesome for the boot-ay.. :)

    As long as you're pushing off your heels then I think you should be okay cause what you're trying to do is contract your muscles. Deeper is always better though. You might want to try machines cause it'll probably be easier on your back and help you out with your form.

    I thought the butt wink was like when that awesome inch or few of fine butt crack gets exposed as you come down to complete the bottom motion of the squat. The pants stretch perfectly to reveal that crack, and thus the wink.
