The squat is one of the most important movements in not just weight-lifting and for sports, but for life.

So many things that we do requires a proper and good quality squat.

In this video, I demonstrate one of my favorite ways to train the body-weight squat for technique, mobility, and control.

I do THREE unique things to make this challenging and help with proper muscle activation and form.

1. Create tension by pressing into a Yoga Block.

2. Place a band around the knees to get the hips firing.

3. Perform a 5-5-5 technique of 5 second eccentric lowering, 5 second pause, and 5 second concentric return to the start position.

This gives a solid muscle burn and really helps my depth and quality of the squat.

An amazing warm-up and way to improve your squat depth and quality.

Hip Impingement also known as pain in the front of the hip when moving the leg and especially bringing the knee towards the chest is problematic for many reasons. The closing on the joint space can lead to compression, pain, and tightness.
Using the monster band to perform distraction is a great way to get a more effective stretch for the joint capsule.
This is a great technique to improve hip motion, decrease hip pain, improve guard retention, and improve overall healthy hip function.
