How I Fixed My Squat

So I typed out a whole bunch of shit about fixing my squat and somehow I inadvertently hit a few keys and closed the window.

Fuck.

So here's a condensed version. You're being denied the fully glory of my knowledge and masterful prose. So, sorry, but fuck you.

How I Fixed My Squat

1. Learning to break back with the hips as the first movement of the squat.

2. Learning how to properly hold the bar lower on my back, enabling me to break my hips back to parallel while maintaining an arch in my lower back.

3. Learning how to correctly use my belt and hold my breath in order to stay tight during the lift. Use this video from Chaid Aichs to do the same.

4. Bringing my stance in. I had been squatting too wide before, in such a way that provides little support for a raw lifter.
