Squats: Don’t be weak with the initial lift off the rack. Take a full breath and power it up - it’s a confidence game.

- elbows should be under the bar with hands gripping the bar tight.

- take two steps back to set up for the lift. Anything more and you’re wasting your energy.

- take another full breath in and hold before lowering into the squat.

- your entire body should be tight at this point.

This is all before the actual squat.
