squat

Postby samurai69 » Thu May 02, 2013 9:12 am

Training Tip of the Day:

If your lower back is rounding when you get into a deep squat it could be for several reasons. Here are just a few of the main ones:

1) Lack of ankle mobility
2) Weak glutes
3) Weak spinal erectors
4) Lack of tension in the lift
5) Technique issues
6) Adhesions through the adductors and/or hamstrings.
7) Tight posterior hip capsule
8) Too much anterior tilt beginning the decent
9) Lack of hip mobility
10) TO MUCH WEIGHT ON THE BAR BRO! ;)

general mobilisation and rotations, its about strething the muscles and tendons around the ankle, calf and hamstrings

And ankle/calf stretches so your better able to go through the ankle rotations.
