Squats are one of the best exercises for building leg muscle and total body strength, but they're also one of the most technical. In this video, I break down the 5 most common squat mistakes I see as a personal trainer and show you exactly how to fix them for safer, more effective squats.
β±οΈ TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - Introduction
1:54 - Mistake #1: Moving Too Fast
4:10 - Mistake #2: Not Bracing Your Core
6:43 - Mistake #3: Butt Wink
7:35 - Mistake #4: Hips Rising Too Fast
8:58 - Wrap Up & Next Steps
π― WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
β The perfect tempo for building muscle and preventing injury
β How to properly brace your core during squats
β What "butt wink" is and how to prevent it
β Why your spine should never move during the squat
β How to fix hip shooting and uneven joint movement
β The key to mastering squat technique for massive gains
πͺ COMMON SQUAT MISTAKES COVERED:
* Moving too fast without control
* Poor core bracing and spinal stability
* Butt wink at the bottom of the squat
* Hips rising faster than chest (good morning pattern)
* Inconsistent joint movement and coordination
π KEY TAKEAWAYS:
* Use a 4-2-1 tempo: 4 seconds down, 2 second pause, 1 second up
* Keep your spine rigid and neutral throughout the entire movement
* Stop the squat before butt wink occurs
* All joints should move at the same rate
* Think "stand up tall" not "lift your butt"
