🔥where are you hinging during squats🔥 Here I’m working with my athlete daisy to make some performance improvements to her squat, check the video above to see some quick corrections we made and notice where she’s hinging in each video 🕵🏼♂️ now this is by no means perfect but it’s progress and that’s what I always strive for with every single session 🙏🏼 learn how to master your own bodyweight before adding excess load 🔑 ———————————————————————— Bracing or “getting tight” for a squat means to lock down your torso 360 degrees creating tension throughout your entire body moving only at the hips, knees and ankles while trying to minimize excess movement everywhere else. The goal is to optimize force production and movement efficiency to decrease risk of form breakdown or injury👌🏼 ———————————————————————— A very common cue when squatting is to push the butt back while trying to keep the chest up🤔 doing this without properly breathing and bracing will cause you to go into an anterior pelvic tilt and essentially creating a second hip joint at the thoracic/lumbar area. I’m sure we can all agree you want to minimize any excessive flexion or extension at the spine during a squat but especially when it’s loaded🙌🏼 if you have any questions or would like to set up an assessment send me a DM or comment below! #nicebodybutwhatcanyoudowithit
