After years of wear and tear on my knees & injuries from multiple deployments in the military and training jiu-jitsu, Iâve learned to prioritize safety and formâbecause knees donât start to get better at any age!
Hereâs how to do a Back Squat:
1.Set Up: Position the bar on your traps (not your neck), grip it firmly, and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out.
2.Brace: Engage your core, keep your chest up, and lock your shoulders back. Stability is key.
3.Descend: Push your hips back and bend your knees like youâre sitting in a chair (or a throne). Lower until your thighs are parallel to the groundâor as low as your knees allow. Keep your knees aligned with your toes.
4.Ascent: Drive through your heels, squeeze your glutes at the top, and rise without locking your knees. Power up with control.
This workout target your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and core like no other. For me, theyâre about rebuilding strength while protecting my body. Stay disciplined, focus on form, and watch the gains come!
