Correct Squatting

This is from the Diesel Newsletter, it is not new information but information that should always be at the front of your mind while training.

Tip #1 - Falling Forward in the Hole


- Keep elbows facing down

- Chest up, head up

- Keep weight on heels

- Force abdominals out, create intra-abdominal pressure with breathing

- Incorporate Anderson (bottoms-up) squats at various pin levels

- Incorporate RDL’s, back extensions, bent over rows, good mornings and pullthroughs

Tip #2 - Not Going Deep Enough

- Work on hip mobility

- Stretch and activate glutes / rectus femoris / psoas

- Work on ankle mobility

- Widen stance slightly, toes turned out, knees tracking over toes

- Incorporate more full range, single leg movements

- Just go lower!

Tip #3 - Upper Back Rounding / Shoulders & Elbows Hurting

- work on thoracic mobility

- develop upper back musculature

- technique, technique, technique

- improve scapular mobility and strength of serratus anterior

- utilize specialty barbells until improvement is seen from corrective exercises

- incorporate more rowing and external rotation movements

- check mobility of opposite hip and ankle

A Game of Inches

When I was in college I had to do a monologue for an intro to acting class(I know , right). Anyway, this is the one I did, it wasn't to long after the movie came out and really, who isn't an Al Pacino fan.
