#Back Squats

Your squats aren’t working because of THESE mistakes ⛔️ Back squats are one of the best muscle-building moves… But most people are doing them WRONG — and risking injury. Fix this before your next leg day 👇 🚫 1. Heels coming off the ground If your heels lift, you’re not stable. It’s often tight ankles or poor setup. Plant your whole foot — heels flat, toes slightly out. 🚫 2. Letting your knees cave in Knees should track over your toes, not buckle in. Push them out throughout the movement to protect your joints and activate glutes. 🚫 3. Chest falling forward If your upper body collapses, your core or upper back is likely weak. Brace your core like you’re about to get punched and keep that chest up! 🚫 4. Ego lifting Loading the bar too heavy with sloppy form = no gains + higher injury risk. Drop the weight. Focus on depth, tempo, and control. ✅ Strong squats = mobility + stability + smart progression. Save this for your next leg day 💪 #explorepage #explore #workout #legsfordays #usa

❌ Lower back pain during squats? Your pelvis might be in the wrong position! Many people unconsciously tilt their pelvis too far forward when squatting, which puts excessive pressure on the lower back. Over time, this can lead to discomfort or even injury. ✅ The correct approach is to keep the pelvis in a neutral position, meaning the spine remains naturally aligned instead of excessively tilting forward or backward. This allows the force to be effectively transferred to the glutes and legs, making squats safer and more powerful! #quads #gluteworkout #gym

❌ FIX THIS SQUAT MISTAKE! Stop over-arching your lower back during squats. It not only weakens your lift but also increases the risk of injury. ✅ Instead, maintain a neutral spine for a safer, stronger squat.

Back squats are a strength building staple, but how’s your form? Can you see the difference between these two movements? ✅ Toes pointed slight outwards allows me to keep my back up straighter and push my knees over the toes, keeping my legs strong on the push back up ❌ Toe pointing forwards means I’m leaning forward more and not bracing my knees outwards on that push back up so my knees start to cave inwards, making me feel less stable and “weaker” Tips: solid based shoes help here no end! If you don’t have any, go barefoot. Squishy running shoes will be unstable and likely cause that knee cave too.

“You should be able to back squat what you deadlift “👀 This type of comments I have got on my previous deadlift video … Typically, a strong back squat is about 80–90% of your deadlift max. I Same weight. Same plates. No filters, no fake weights—just strength and consistency. If you know, you know. And if you don’t… watch closely at the end. #backsquat #squatstrength #legday

❌ Squats giving you lower back pain? If you’re feeling discomfort in your lower back during squats, your pelvis might be tilting too far forward, causing your lower back to arch excessively. This forward tilt is called anterior pelvic tilt, and it increases pressure on the lumbar spine. Over time, this compensation can lead to pain or even injury. The key is to maintain a neutral pelvis, where your spine stays naturally aligned. This allows your glutes, quads, and core to share the load instead of dumping it into your lower back. Try these gym tips next time you squat: • Before starting the movement, engage your core by bracing • Squeeze your glutes slightly at the top to avoid overextending • Watch your pelvis positioning in the mirror or record yourself to check your form Squats are one of the most effective lower body exercises when done correctly. With the right alignment, they become a powerful glute workout that also builds your quads and strengthens your entire lower body. Whether you’re doing a home workout or lifting at the gym, understanding pelvic control is one of the most underrated fitness skills. Master it and your squats will feel smoother, safer, and more effective. Keep this tip for your next squat session.

Barbell back squats are one of the best compound lifts you can do. But only if you do them right. 🧠🍑⬇️⬇️⬇️ @aybl dc NEENY Train with me & get access to full workouts @traindailyjlh 🔗 ✅ Take your time on the setup. Both feet under the bar before unracking, bar resting centrally across your traps (not your neck) and brace your core. Don’t rush the walkout, think 2-3 solid steps back and plant your feet with intent. ✅ Brace before every rep: Deep breath into your belly, ribs down, and hold tension. Exhale only at the top, through pursed lips. ✅ Knees & hips break together: Start the squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees at the same time. This keeps the load distributed and the movement efficient. ✅ Let your knees travel forward. It’s okay for your knees to go past your toes, just make sure your heels stay grounded and your full foot is pressing into the floor. If your heels lift, you might benefit from putting a small plate/ramp under your heels for more ROM. ✅ Stay stacked: Keep ribs and hips aligned throughout. This means they move in unison. So don’t let your chest fall or your back arch excessively. Think “torso like a plank/neutral spine” ✅ Drive through midfoot: Don’t rock forward onto your toes or fall into your heels. Push through the middle of your foot and drive the floor away on the ascent. ✅ Don’t overextend at the top: Stand tall but don’t lean back or thrust your hips forward. There’s no benefit, and it could lead to injury. #squat #squatform #barbellsquat #squattips #legday #squattutorial #bootybuilding #compoundlifts #strengthtraining #GymTok

Avoid the Hip Tilt 🔄 in Your Squats!

Here’s how to fix it: 1️⃣ Big Chest & Brace: Engage your core and keep your chest up as you descend. 2️⃣ Wide Stance: Find a comfortable, wide stance for better stability. 3️⃣ Knees Out: Actively push your knees out for thw whole way until to the bottom of the squat and then up. This helps maintain a neutral spine and strong position throughout the movement. 🛑 Don’t let your lower back and glutes relax—stay ENGAGED for a powerful and safe squat movement. 📤 Share this tip with friends working on their squat form. . . . . . #SquatTips #BackSquat #CrossFit #CrossFitTraining #Weightlifingt
