[0:11] It's was talk about squat your favorite remembered.
Fair enough and I think that's where it is because it is a full body movement and it hits all them big muscle groups for what start being with link because I smile,
no he'll think it's me is it your favorite overall or just lower body everybody will push ups.
Movie theater top three you said because they were most important things about squats is I like to go really low.
Really are you babe I'm different points on grit how far do you go for the ideas to stand in awe with your feet hit bullets in a part so you got a nation and then you drop.
The butt down just above the knee line so you or your the me part of your leg would be parallel to the ground.
It's not quite parallel repair quite just just I don't know make it 15 degrees above if I was to put a number to I do,
putting your toes and you said your favorite shoulder with the part where you're totally turned out so I returned so that's kind of standard Squat and then there's variations.

[1:44] So when you come down your feeders while you pointed out.
Do you concentrate on your knees kind of pushing out over your little toes.
You know what is yes absolutely but for me I focus more on keeping it that way back in the Hills.
Because that's actually where the work is is starting to generate and if you're too far forward you know then you're putting that pressure on your knees so I think the combination really.
I'm just sitting back into your knees heal sitting back into your heels.
So position of the bar on the con your back muscular part of the back before then.

[2:36] Well you know I'm not I don't know I just right on that muscular part I was just curious if you tried to.
Get it just a little bit lower Mimi that so my arms open up a little bit and it forces my chest it kind of has a proud.
Never thought about that you may not have to cuz you're automatically just fantastic at it I tend to nothing because I'm a computer all the time I'm rounding my back for you guys here.
And I assume.
I tend to get a little bit lower but finding great I can't cuz of the speed.
Of squats to when I'm doing great I tend to go probably about like what you're describing but when I'm lifting heavy solo and I'm just doing like a,
I got five rap with heavier weight at 10 to try to get my butt to go down a little bit lower.
And for me at my icon shift a little bit in the bottom my squat so I feel really concentrate on dropping straight down because if I don't I tend to favor one side.
Likely I've seen it you know a little shift.
So I think you I think that's with any exercise so if you think about like doing bent over row I'll find myself pulling.
More you know with my right arm because I'm I'm right strong and so I think he's got to really concentrate and be in.

[4:07] Even I'm in a lot of exercises along with squats but what I want to comment cuz you know I think and grits drink the idea is to arrange.
But the beat is fast and you know that the wraps are faster so yeah you don't have time per se to go all the way down.
And I don't have any supporting you don't know I'm real sorry but I think it it wears more ice in the movie.
So there is a lot of articles on internet talk about going love how they think that.
the pressure is 19 for the most part that has to do with limited Mobility Mobility,
so if you find that you have if you have a reason not to go that low I can come and I do think that they're coming the limits you from going out.
But for me I was I was getting shallow and just to go up and wait.
And I had to do a load right and start concentrating on better for me cuz I was developing a lot of bad habits.
When I was just trying to see the,
number go up right well and I think that our first time lifters I haven't been you know enough to know what's right and what's wrong and what works for their bodies so,
they trying and do you don't need to try and go outside of their range whether that be with weight or just their body and then they hurt themselves.

[5:47] Hey hey yeah that is definitely risk so,
I'd also always on that note recommend low lower away and feeling comfortable get the hang of it,
yeah that's not trying to come out of the gate just trying to press the person next to you the other thing that I think it is.
Is a good kind of mindset if you don't really know come you said hips,
yellow shoulder with it about show with a party sorry whatever your back and put your knees up.
And kind of get into a squat position but laying on the ground and your body you will just whatever you just come fall into his kind of your natural position,
so he do that he owes can I give you all of mine said you can come look at it too so if I wasn't thinking about it that's what I would do different want to get loaded and you're in the.

[6:44] Subway cooler that really hurts but you know it's it's it's a lot harder to think about those things.
We did a whole little section embracing at least a month ago my dad or we leave we talked about it cuz you said pretend waitressing in the shower that really stuck in my head but I'm.
I personally don't use a weight ball.
Because I feel like much like I had to go up and wait and then d load to get my form right I don't want to.
Require it to to be a.
When I'm wear it but when you wear a weight belt you can push your car or your brace against that weight belts II don't have to praise His hard-working.
So for me I don't even use a weight belt I purposely don't because I want to force my body to.
Do the pricing so your pricing was seeing any other racing thoughts.
You know I haven't looked at heavyweights in a really long time you know I spend most my time in the studio so.
I don't have a comment on the weight belt but another the court is your foundation of your entire body so if you don't have a strong core and her you don't use it and Brace.

[8:15] Whatever you're doing upper-body or lower-body there's consequences right Downstream or Upstream of of the cord so.
Two important to have a strong core and keep it tight every time you do a squat A Line Road should always be on the brain and you know sometimes we talked about that in class brace your core.
We III almost sound like a broken record but it is something that I can remind myself.
I'm teaching sometimes the cues I'm saying is to remind myself of what I am getting Black Stone Cherry when I teach.
But I told her I totally get it do you find that you could describe how you drive while I'm going to come to your hips so we hit the bottom position and you and then you start me up.
Do you push like I said like I was calling try from the hips.

[9:17] I think that's where I put the weight in the heels and I drive out of the heels.
Bring your hips back that's what I that's what I think about cuz I think after teaching for so long and in doing this you don't his ballon do you say brace your abs but.
But back and down you don't have time telling them to get lower than their squats and so.
When you kind of perfected where you need to be in a squat then you think about how you're getting.
And so for me that's putting that weight in the hills and driving out of the bottom to push it up to the top of that.

[9:57] Cuz he'll see sometimes the people you their 3rd forward and make like a birthday arch their back a little bit when they try to sit back has one week you know I could.
Like they're not keeping their spine in line right so are you don't let me see your T-shirt what's on the front of it so that would help with the rounding so shoulders back let me see what's on it.
But that that's really the only you ever see people who know so keep your chest up makes sense right but you have people that keep their chest up and then like winter but they're rounding.
They're back to points are blood to the back of the room.

[10:38] You don't like I don't and I don't get too many newcomers in and great because you know I don't want to say It's A step above the body pump but it is a step above a lot of good standard can't go all the time,
I'm classes that I take you don't doing that were there kind of there like a squat.
Regular 10 folks in.

[11:11] Yes oh I see well since coach like there's something else I'm leaving out at home it's wonderful.

[11:21] And I was sure I had to get my squat rack outside somewhere but.

[11:27] So far I've been vetoed by outside I just think of you as well said that weird.
I love you my entire workout outside it's funny that you mention that I was talking to a fellow teammate.
About to what could we do a little different right cuz it's so it's life can get monotonous right so.

[11:49] So can going to the gym and so can the classes you teach and as an instructor is somebody taking those classes.
You know what can you do to kind of spice things up and that's exactly what I said was I'd love to be able to once a month right so go to a park.
Have to be more like a great cardio so you wouldn't have equipment but be able to work outside so what I wanted to do.
It's honestly probably not very I was going to just bought by another squat rack and put it outside and it just move my weight in and out before winter and summer.
But somehow I don't know my wife thinks it that would be weird to have in backyard I mean.

[12:34] But then again like your neighbors got like 40 cars in the driveway.

[12:39] So what's better put some squat record,
work on it just seems like there's a.
Hi I don't relate cuz I'm going yeah why not sounds good pull up bars.
Play sad so outside so that when I was growing up we had one of those nice wooden swing sets and then dead built me a balance beam and I was doing this to them he did build me a bar,
I'm not the kind you drink at the kind that you're talking about so I can do stuff and.
You won't believe all the stuff you could do she do a Samuels ladder whatever you know you have the post.
I was not a good idea she just look for your table that idea okay.
I'll get some barefoot.

[13:48] Yes I think that some stuff some stuff to think about your squad is you don't realize how much inflection you need in your ankles.

[13:59] Also 6 so and I and just flexibility so.
Doing the bar and tea for a couple before and and then maybe do a half wait and then getting up to where you want to do if you doing heavy weight is a great way to start but I think the idea is quality over quantity and.
Can't wait you were saying earlier it's pretty easy to go down there in the weight room or wherever and try and compete with the next guy.
By putting on too much weight it's it's like man don't worry about what other people are doing worried about what's going to work for you what you can do you know that guy that's got an extra hundred pounds on the bar he he was there you were at that one point so.
You know focus on the form and then in building it correctly and then you'll get there quicker than you will if you were just to go out and if you're not comfortable with a bar that's totally fine lots of body weight versions event.
And then you can go for like talking about earlier with the the grid Style on that a team in the you-know-where hit hit and doing a little bit faster body weight on Evendale Way down into.
Doing both could do a squat into a bear being in a push-up can you get everybody's favorite America's favorite okay so think of something.
