Mark Ottobre breaks down proper squat form: keep your torso vertical, lower your hips until your thighs hit your ankles, and stay tall coming up. A common mistake is shifting forward and not reaching full depth, which happens when you skip core bracing. Adding elevation and engaging your abs fixes both problems.
What does good look like when I give you a bodyweight squat? This is what good looks like, is you're able to maintain this vertical and you're able to bring your bum down to your ankles. Yeah. And you're able to stay up tall and come up. When I get you to the bodyweight squat, what's happening is you move from here and everything breaks down and you move forward. And when I put that in your hand, you did get a little bit more stiffer, but you didn't get all the way down either, right? Which normally that's the stability piece. Now we've got the elevation, but we're not bracing the abs. So I start to put it all together. We have the elevation, we have your abs engaged, how far down you go. It's a massive improvement, right? Yeah.
