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.
