Movement Matters

The Butt Wink!!

This is when your back rounds at the bottom of the squat as in the video.

This puts the individual at risk for low back injury or pain.

It can be debated as to what ROM or Strength limit lead sot the movement. Often it is related to a neuromuscular control issue and can be trained to prevent.

To prevent:
1. Widen your stance
2. Reduce the depth (squat to a box)
3. Slow down the movement with tempo
4. Work on other areas of limit at the ankle or hips

Hope this helps. Stay happy and healthy in the gym!!

Olympic lifts are power lifts with full body extension at the spine, hip, knee and ankle.

It is very difficult to return under the bar so individuals often rush the movement. This throttles the movement and robs you of power transfer and prevents one from hitting big numbers.

To perform better, one should exaggerate the full extension position in the warmup and transfer that to the actual movement. This allows for full extension with the glutes and all extensors.

Hope this helps with proper safe and effective technique. Stay happy and healty in the gym!!!
