That's A Squat No No

Here’s my back squat checklist. This one is for anyone who’s wondered how to squat without hurting your neck!

Make sure the bar is set below your shoulder. No tiptoeing it out.

Have each hand one thumb’s distance from the smooth portion.

Step under the bar, placing it on the meaty part of your back, not on your neck, unless you want to get tingly in all the wrong ways.

Use your legs and hips to stand under the bar, not your back.

Take one big step back.

Screw both your feet into the ground to keep your hip and knees stable

Brace yourself by breathing in, sending the air to your belly, making yourself look as fat as possible, then squeeze your core. You can practice this by laying on your back with a little weight.

Send your hips back slightly FIRST, THEN bend your knees, all while keeping your feet flat. Don’t ever start with knees first or I’ll die a little on the inside every rep.

Lastly, when you reach your end range, press your upper back into the bar to keep a solid bar path as you stand.

Now you know my squat check list and I hope this answers how to back squat correctly. Happy squatting!

Let’s have fun, work hard, get sweaty, and of course, don’t die.

I’ll see you on the next one.
