Here is a good video of Andy Bolton on Squat Technique. Much like the other lifts, technique becomes more and more important as your strength increases.
Squat Set-Up Points:
- Arched Lower Back
- Tight Upper Back
- Chest Out
- Head Driven Back Into Bar
- Tight Core
On The Way Down:
- Force Knees Out
- Sit Back
- Weight On Heels
On The Way Up:
- Be Explosive
- Keep Head Driven Back
- Arch Upper Back Hard
These are the key points that you should focus on during your workouts. However, keep in mind that you can only fix one thing at a time. You cannot overhaul your entire squat technique in one session. Fix one thing and move on. In time your technique will be locked in, and you will become a more efficient lifter.
