One of the simplest (and oldest!) ways to help people squat - TopicsExpress



          

One of the simplest (and oldest!) ways to help people squat better. Others include a plate for the heels or holding onto a pole. Some notes: 1. Squatting like this will help over TIME. You must always try to push the limits of how far you push that weight out in front. This will challenge the ligaments, capsules, muscles and neural patterns to adapt and over TIME you will get to just the weight on your chest or the bar in front rack at which time you can continue to use front squat to help. 2. In this video, she pushes her knees forward early. The point of the video is to get to depth and I suspect he could correct that later if he were her coach. If you have knee pain, particular retropatella (behind the kneecap) pain, then delay the forward motion of the knees and sit back with the weight out in front more, with a little forward body lean first. 3. Always progress. It is not the only homework you can do. Her immature squat is not that far off, maybe a month? For others, it may take up to a year. Partial squat under load, box squats, etc can all help
