Episode description

Squatting is hard - Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

• First off, what's your goal with squatting? Is it for muscle building or sport-specific? That's going to change everything. • Discussing why YOUR personal anatomy matters and specific ways to work around it. (Shoutout to all my friends with long femurs). • Learn what to watch out for when it comes to squat depth and how to avoid the ridiculously named, "Butt wink." • Choosing the right stance for you, weight to lift for your specific goal, and how to breathe and brace. • Questioning the notion that you even NEED to barbell squat and alternatives to choose instead.
