Use This Checklist for Squat

Take my advice and start resetting every rep, using this checklist before each descent: air, neck, brace, squat.

Air- fill low, expanding the circumference of your lower abdomen.

Neck- pack the neck to a neutral position.

Brace- brace the midsection by using those muscles to pull your ribs down toward your hips, like you are loading a spring. (This is going to create a lot of intra-abdominal pressure because of the "filling low" we just did.) This spring cannot come unloaded at any time when the bar is in play.

Squat- we were probably already doing that part, but now we can do it better.

Make this checklist the focus of your next squat session and see for yourself the difference it can make.
