What are the key squat techniques?
I’m a personal trainer. I have a client who rides his bike 5 days a week, but only does it intensely for 2 of those days. He wants to build muscle and strength but is new to strength training. I noticed some imbalances during his exercise assessment. For starters, when I had him do bodyweight squats, his butt would wink, so I fixed it by having him brace his core and raise his hands overhead as he squatted down. During lunges, his ankles kept rolling, so I regressed him to split squats. Additionally, his torso kept rotating internally, indicating that his abductors and IT bands are weak. He was also told by other fitness professionals that his posture, especially in the scapular and lumbar regions, could be better.
