#Partial Squats

Some tips for learning the squat

8 ways to increase your squat so fast it looks suspicious⬇️ 1️⃣ You’re dive-bombing the descent. dropping into the hole kills tension and turns the bottom into a panic bounce. control the negative, stay tight, own every inch down. 2️⃣ Your core is soft. if your brace is weak your squat is capped. big breath, brace hard, lock the ribcage down before you even move. 3️⃣ You never do pause squats. one second pause in the hole deletes momentum. if your squat crashes here that’s your real strength. everything else is borrowed from the bounce. 4️⃣ You max out every week. heavy singles aren’t a program. build volume, build technique, let strength show up on its own. 5️⃣ Your stance is wrong for your body. too wide and you fold. too narrow and you tip forward. find the stance where you stay stacked and powerful. 6️⃣ You lead with your chest not the bar. that turns squats into good mornings. push the floor away and let the bar travel straight up. 7️⃣ You sit straight down instead of back. knees forward with no hip hinge turns squats into knee torture. push hips back slightly, then down. 8️⃣ You only train low bar and leg press. weak quads = weak out of the hole. add front squats or leg extensions. no debate. squats don’t reward impatience. they reward precision. fix these and your numbers move without forcing it. #squats #gym #viral #discipline #foryou

SQUATS BIG MISTAKE ❌👀 @raku_fitness02 #rakufitness02 . . . . #fitness #squats #fitnesstips

Do you incorporate pause squats into your training? . Shout out @lee_sang____ for the amazing lift!

If you want your squat to feel strong and natural, you have to spend time in the bottom position. Sit there, move around, and explore different angles so your body can learn the range. The more you work through it, the more comfortable and effortless it starts to feel. If the bottom feels difficult, start by elevating your heels. This reduces ankle demand and lets you build depth with control. Over time, slowly reduce the height as your mobility improves. Try these squat variations for 8–12 reps: 1. Squat rocks restore hip extension, strengthen the knees, and improve foot mobility 2. Squat shifts improve ankle mobility, big toe extension, and balance 3. Squat pulses lengthen the hamstrings and strengthen the legs and glutes 📌 Save this squat routine

I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH! I see SO MANY people make this goddamn mistake! It’s one of the main reasons people can’t hit depth. They push their knees out in front of them to start their squat! This gets your hips underneath you and doesn’t allow you to keep the bar over your midfoot/center of mass. Regardless of how you squat (low bar - as god intended, high bar, front squat, Safety bar, goblet), the squat HAS to start with your hips! Then the knees can bend forward based on bar position and your leverages. This is perfectly safe and necessary. But if the hips don’t move first, your squat won’t go well, I promise you!

3 steps to master your squat technique! . Shout out @micah_marino for the collaboration & @muscleandmotion for the amazing anatomy graphics used today.

1: Squat with a Wider Toe Angle. A wider toe angle can help you to open up at the knees and hips and create a “pocket” below you to squat into that won’t automatically result in buttwink or a lack of depth. 2: Squat with a Lower Bar Posture. This DOESNT mean you have to squat Low Bar (although it may help) it just means you’ll want that bar shifted down your traps slightly more than a classic highbar position. This will allow you some room to lean forward with the weight shifted down your center of gravity and still have the weight be right over mid foot in the bottom position. 3: Put a Heavy Emphasis On Upper Back Bracing and Pressure. This goes for all lifters but is especially important for taller people. You’ll often times find yourself shifting forward out of the hole with your hips shooting back. To avoid this really focus on that upper back brace and position. Don’t allow yourself to fold forward but instead focus on driving your back into the bar aggressively especially out of the hole.

How to do a proper squat! 👇🏼 Set Up: Begin standing with feet shoulder width, toes slightly out to the side and weight in your heels. Movement: Keeping your weight in your heels and using your hands in front of you as a counterbalance, lead down and back with your hips, then stand upward, squeezing your glutes and pushing your hips towards the wall, then come back down in the squat position. Benefit: This is a great movement for the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves and an overall phenomenal power movement for the lower body. Modifiers: Sofa Squats I hope this helps, my friends! 💪🏼 . . #howtosquat #exercises #movement #squats

Same exercise. Two body types. Very different outcomes. One lifter has long femurs. You’ll see more forward torso lean and less knee bend. The other has short femurs. More upright torso, more knee travel, more quad involvement. From a strength perspective, both squats are solid. Both can move big weight. From a muscle development perspective, they are not equal. Short femurs make it easier to load the quads through a large range of motion. Long femurs bias the hips and posterior chain much earlier, which often limits quad stimulus. This is why some remembering grow their legs easily from squats and others don’t, despite training just as hard. The fix is not forcing someone else’s squat style. The fix is understanding how your structure changes loading and then adjusting stance, heel height, bar position, and exercise selection accordingly. Use this video to assess your own squat, then decide if your setup actually matches your goal, and send this to someone who needs to see it.
