  • In my powerlifting class, I was taught to take a breath at the top, hold it throughout the whole squat and exhale at the top. This way, your core is engaged throughout the whole squat movement.

  • Lately I've been enjoying Epic Greek Yogurt + Chia Seeds (17g of protein). I also pressure cook chicken breast, shred it, portion it out into tupperware or ziploc bags (I do 4 oz), put some kind of seasoning on it and snack on it. Trader Joe's has peeled, boiled cage-free eggs. Those are my protein go-tos.

I was a little embarrassed but oh well...tryin' to get a booty.

  • I was wearing Reebok Nano 2.0s, leftover from my Crossfit days. I recently switched to low top chucks and I like them better, without any good reason. :)

  • Do you know how to properly dump the bar? If you're down at the bottom of your squat (or anywhere in the squat really), just send the barbell off your shoulders behind you and fall forward out of the way of the falling barbell. It's safer to let the barbell crash behind you than to keep struggling with the bar. Hope this…
