Getting out of the hole

When rising out from the bottom of the squat, keep your back angle the same the entire time. This requires you to raise the hips AND the chest at the same pace. This is essential to properly executing the movement and squatting heavier.

If your hips rise too quickly we visually see two things:

• your butt goes up fast
• and your back angle becomes more parallel.

I refer to this as "stripper dance". Keep that chest up.
