🔥SQUAT TIP🔥 Where you look 👀 while squatting is an extremely important part of your technique. Often, where you focus your vision on has a huge impact on your squat form. 👀 Many people are taught to look up while squatting, while this works for some people, it might not work with others. There is nothing one size fits all when it comes to squatting. Here are some guidelines you can follow: 👉1. Always focus your vision on one point throughout the movement. This is crucial for your body to find balance. Do not shift your focus until the movement is done. 👉 2. Don't squat in front of a mirror. With a mirror in front of you, it's nearly impossible to focus on a single point. This is difficult to do in most commercial gyms. I've seen people trying to cover up the mirror while they squat. For this reason, the gym that I train at doesn't have mirrors in the powerlifting area. 👉3, Where you look will depend on your torso angle. Your vision and your neck position should be in life be with your spine. Doing this will help you maintain a neutral spine while squatting. -On front squats, your back angle will be very upright. If you want to maintain an upright angle, you will most likely have to look up a bit - Fir high bar squats, your back angle will be a bit less vertical than front squats. You may have to look straight ahead on these. -On Los bar squats (in video above), your torso will have a bit of a lean. For this reason, you will have to focus your vision a bit lower. As a coach, I recommend looking about 6 feet in front of you, on the floor. 👉If you have long femurs (legal like I do, you will be a bit more bent over while squatting (Refer to my previous post on long femurs on the squat.) The more forward lean you have because of your squat style and individual leverages, the lower your mechanic and focus will be. ✅Doing this one thing has really helped me.
