Squat

Squatting below parallel is a non negotiable.

Crease the hip is below the top of the knee. If we put a marble on your knee, it needs to be able to roll down to the crease of your hip. If you can’t squat below parallel, you need to back off weight, and we need to figure it out. This may require you to work on your ankle mobility, or hip mobility at home. You may need to play around with your foot position, the position of your toes, etc.

And we’re happy to help you put in that work. We do however need and want you to change the mindset of what it means to help you get there. If a coach asks you to squat to a ball or a box, stop thinking about it as a negative. This is going to help better your squat. Having you squatting above parallel can cause a lot of other problems, mainly on the knees, and it’s not doing you any good. Sure maybe you can lift a little more weight, or move a little faster, but that is not the goal, and never should be, and overtime it’s going to catch up to you. The goal should be a beautiful below parallel squat.

You’re here to train your body to move well. Speed, load, all of that is secondary to the movement itself. It’s time to overhaul some squats.
