Pro Tip
Proper Form: When lowering yourself into the squat, push your hips back as if you're sitting into a chair. Keep your chest up and your knees in line with your toes. Avoid letting your knees cave inward, as this can lead to injury. Depth of Squat: Aim to lower your body until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor. This depth ensures you're fully engaging your glutes and thighs. However, don't force yourself into a deeper squat if it causes discomfort or you're unable to maintain proper form. Breathing Technique: Breathing plays a crucial role in weightlifting exercises. Inh
