How To Correct Deadlift Exercise Form
This video teaches an effective exercise that will strengthen the scapular adductors and mid back muscles while stretching the upper traps, pec minor and biceps. Thus correcting the "thoracic kyphosis" posture (rounding of the shoulders) present in many young weaklings ;)
Squat Technique Flaw
If you are familiar with my philosophies on strength and conditioning for football player, athletes and general fitness… you know that I LOVE Squats!!
Nothing builds a solid set of legs, back, core, shoulders, neck, ears and eye lids than a healthy set of barbell squats. In fact, squats are so important for the development of athletic strength and speed that it was the very first exercise that my uncle taught me when I began training at 14 years old.
Unfortunately, most people suck at squatting… and this is a shame since squats not only improve athletic performance but are essential for the maintenance of good health.
You might not know this, but squats are a “Primal Pattern” (ref. Paul Chek) which means that if you couldn’t squat during primordial times… you’d be pretty useless as a hunter/gatherer/builder and would definitely have a tough time pooping! (can you say Colon Obstruction?)
We’ll I am going to show you a common muscular imbalance that many adults and athletes have that makes squatting nearly impossible.
But, I also show you how to fix it… who loves ya?
I spent an entire chapter on how to squat properly in my Football Strength System. Make sure you are not wasting your time with ineffective exercises or with improper form.
