Hi ya,

Just wanna add something about doing squat - the secret squatting technique.

The secret to performing a perfect squat requires a heavy heel. Prior to performing a body weight squat (or back squat, overhead squat, front squat, sumo squat, squat with weights etc), slightly lift your toes up in your shoes. This should place about 75% of your weight on your heels. When this shift of weight occurs, the hips will naturally unlock, applying the weight being lifted (body weight, barbell, dumbbell etc) directly to the gluteus muscles. Squatting heavy on your toes applies pressure directly to the knee joint and overloads the quadriceps and that can lead to arthritis, over-developed quadriceps or ligament damage.

Happy and safe training!
