Hi Guys,
I've been watching and reading plenty videos of squatting, and hip drive seems to be a crucial component. I don't 100% grasp the execution side of the hipdrive and was wondering if anyone would care to elaborate or correct me.
Basically, when you are standing up from a squat, do you move your hips up first before straightening the rest of your body all whilst pushing off from your heel?
Also with your back, should it be completely straight, or should you have your lower back slightly curved and your chest pushed out? I find if I lean my back forward it takes pressure off my lower back, but I believe this is incorrect form? What harm can this cause?
I've actually, literally started weight training, so have decided to try to get a decent form with just bodyweight before I proceed any further.
Thank you in advance for any help.
