🔥SQUAT PROGRESSION🔥
-
Everyone does squats daily, whether it’s at the gym or at home. We might as well learn how to do them properly!
-
1. Squat to Box w/ a Counter Weight
- push the hips backwards towards the box not allowing your knees to go too far forward. (General rule of thumb is to not let them travel too far over toes)
- Keeping weight in the middle of the foot while keeping chest up and shoulders back!
Perfect your squat! If you have any questions feel free to reach out!
Just wanted to thank all the people that helped me come one step closer to my dream! Looking forward to the new decade! @ Colorado Springs, Colorado

This is our final progression of the hip hinge series!
Being able to control and stabilize the movement unilaterally is very important! Hamstring strength is critical to a healthy hip hinge!
Don’t take this exercise lightly! It is difficult! How sore do you think Dr. Moore’s hamstrings are on a scale 1-10, during the shooting of this video?
Plyos without strength are like the pepperoni without the pizza. Just not the same!
Love this variation combined with the TB Deads

Client came to me with a lot of knee pain and trouble going up and down stairs. She’s had 3 surgeries between her 2 knees.
After starting very slow and building her strength up every day! She is up to 3x20 on body weight squats!

Also by using this technique instead of breathing through the chest it allows relaxing of the shoulders and neck, reducing tension!
