Top Squatting Tips to improve your MAX SQUAT!
    Dr. Squat Fred Hatfield

    Heavy squat training is the most stressful training you will do only behind very heavy deadlift training. Becoming good at squatting and getting strong at it takes effort and determination. 2 tips to help you find your perfect squatting position:

  • First stand with your feet slightly less than shoulder width apart and toes point outward slightly. With your arms extended in front of you squat down as far as you can go. If you began ti tilt forward at any point above parallel return to the standing position and move each foot out to the side 1 inch and repeat the movement. You will eventually come to a position kinda like the toddlers you see squatting almost to the ground with no effort at all. Now that we have found your foot position we need to look at where your hips are relative to your feet and upper back. Perfect would be that your hip joint is even with the center of your knee joint and your shoulders and traps are directly over balls of the foot ready to deliver maximum drive out of the hole(bottom of the squat position) so you can move some weight. In todays age you have a unique tools that lifters of the past would have killed for it called a smart phone. Use it to record your squats from start to finish to correct depth and position problems.
  • Second tip is to practice squatting without any weight on the bar for many sets and many reps and stretching in between those sets. Stretch your ankles and Achilles tendons, lower back hips and buttocks, shoulders scapula and traps. Every single one of these muscles play a big part in your execution of the movement. Get your shit correct before trying to squat 600, or 700 pounds looking like your doing some bastardized good morning and end up f@cking up your back, knees or both.

Other Tips Include:
  • Box Squatting: Box Squatting lets you control your depth, to find out just how deep your squatting! Use box squatting to add depth to your squats.
  • Use Chains: Chains let you overload the top of the squat so as to help adjust your CNS to the strains of a greater weight, while lightening the weight at the bottom let you safely come back up to complete the rep.
  • Squatting Bare Foot: Squatting without shoe provide the most control of your squat as you are more grounded and can make slight adjustment in positioning to maximize your strength and power.
  • Increase Core & Back Strength: Increasing core & upper back strength provides a more stable platform to preform you lift with added confidence!
