You've probably heard that there are some very common techniques to how to improve your squatting. For instance, you may hold the bar with the two legs straight and the upper back touching the floor with the big toe pointing upwards. There are other techniques as well, and you just have to find the ones that work best for you. They're pretty easy to learn, although I do recommend some kind of training software to make sure you get the most out of them.
The first technique to improve your standing slant is to strengthen your quads, and this means squeezing your glutes as hard as you can and keeping them locked. Your quads are the muscle that drives the ground out and makes you vertical, so when you stand with your legs apart and your quads locked, you'll feel like you're taking a giant leap in the air. This feeling will lead to better overall squatting performance, and since the sticking point is the glute strength, you can feel like you're actually improving your game rather than cheating.
Another simple technique to how to improve your squatting is to have a strong lockout. Your leg muscles need to be tight and ready to absorb the shock of the squat, and when they're tightly locked, this means you won't be bending your knees nearly as much. As the concept is pretty simple, your legs will be able to take up more of your body's resistance, which means you'll be able to put more energy into the movement. As an added bonus, this improves your stickiness, which means you won't experience the sticking point that occurs when you don't have a strong lockout.
Probably the most common way to how to improve your squat is to jog your feet back while you squat. By shuffling your feet back, you allow your hips to open up. Jogging your feet back while you squat forces you to lift your knees out of your body. As your knees lift, your hips naturally lift as well. This is a great way to increase your flexibility, but you do need to be very careful. If you overdo it, you could damage your knees or ankles.
The most common method used for how to improve your squat isn't really a technique at all-it's called the barbell squat. The barbell squat begins like any other squat, with your hips and knees bent, but as you raise the barbell up, you automatically bring your hips back. For this technique to work, you need to work on keeping your back straight. This means you need to lock your knees when you lift the barbell. For this reason, many people use straps to assist them in staying on their back-if you want to try this method, make sure you have a strap that wraps around the bar for support.
Finally, one more way to increase your flexibility and improve your squats is to perform pause squats. A pause squat consists of your knees, staying close to your chest while your body stays relatively still. This allows for maximum involvement of the glutes and hamstrings. While this exercise works the quads more than other exercises, it is important to remember that this exercise works your quads because of the angle used, so if you haven't been doing squats often, you may not be reaching your goals-so stick with the basic box squat until you have been performing squats for a few weeks.
