Squat Mechanics: A Deep Analysis
- When you squat, use your hips. This will require a more horizontal back angle than you think.
- You may have heard that you must stay upright when you squat, with as vertical a back angle as possible. You've heard wrong. Think "rigid," not "vertical."
- The angle of hip flexion must equal the back angle if the spinal relationships are to remain neutral.
- The cue to "Point your nipples at the floor" works very well for the squat.
- Looking up when squatting does nothing but fight against the correct back angle. Look down.
- If your hamstrings get sore when you squat, you're doing something wrong.
