Great series of videos posted on YouTube on proper squat technique and how to improve your squat technique.
As Harry Wong, an educator and author said, “Effective teachers steal!” Teachers who beg, borrow, and steal good techniques are teachers whose students will achieve”.
This is a great ‘steal‘ to progress from a GOOD squat to GREAT squat technique.
Set up a video camera, or have a friend to video your squat technique. Watch each one and see if you can recognize any of the errors in your own form.
They are extremely informative.
