In this brief instructional video, fitness coach Eric Roberts addresses a common mistake he observes when lifters finish a squat: over‑emphasizing hip thrusting and exaggerated glute “squeezing” that looks like trying to “impregnate the air.” He argues that the correct cue is to lock the hips out and perform a firm, controlled glute contraction, likening the sensation to resisting an unwanted intrusion—an intentionally graphic but memorable analogy. The core message is that a proper glute squeeze at the top of a squat should focus on hip extension and stability rather than forward hip drive, ensuring better biomechanics and a more professional presentation.
