How to correct your form of squat.

The squat is one of the best muscle building exercises there is but most squatters have incorrect form so the exercise is never done right. The incorrect form usually comes from not going down far enough and/or not putting enough emphasis on the glutes.

One idea is to get away from the weight and engage in a squat simulation or other form of a squat. You may want to try standing in front of a bench and squatting down until you’re butt touches the bench. After you touch, go back up with your weight resting on your heels and not your toes. By doing this, you’re giving yourself an ok point at which you can rise back up from your negative rep.

Make sure to keep your toes pointed forward and your head facing straight ahead. You can add difficulty to the exercise by grabbing dumbells.
