How To Squat Even If You Never Have Before

Want to hear something crazy?

My 1 year old daughter has a better squat technique than the entire adult population of the US.

Why is it that children can do a proper squat when the average adult can barely sit down without plopping into the chair?

Adults have more life experience, more muscle mass, and started out knowing how to squat…

And yet, here I am writing this to teach adults how to squat because so many people need the help.

To visualize how to squat, let’s go back to early 2019 when I first met my wife, Martha…

After going on a couple dates, we both decided going to the gym together would be fun, so that’s exactly what we did.

She only used a treadmill at this point and had no idea how to lift weights, but was very interested in it.

It was leg day, and I was planning on doing some decently heavy barbell back squats.

And since Martha had never really squatted before, I figured the empty bar would be a good starting point…

…but I was completely wrong.

She had no balance.

The bar was on her back crooked.
