STOP YOUR BAR FROM ROLLING ON SQUATS 👇 Follow - @chriswardcoaching if you wanna get strong 🥸 Tension is a huge part of having a big squat. We need rigidity throughout the entire movement paired together with strong legs and a strong back. The problem when your bar is rolling is either a positioning issue, or a tightness issue. The above helps with the latter ✌🏼 Want to grow your squat? I offer online coaching which can look in depth at your technique and programming. I’ve coached powerlifters

Majority of raw squats, lost in the upper back. Majority of missed benches, losing tension in the upper back, got a shitty deadlift, yeah it’s your upper back too. Why the hell are you avoiding the biggest weakness in powerlifting? You should be exploiting it not avoiding it. Save the avoidance for your relationships like the rest of us 😅 Save it, drill it and benefit from it 🫡 For coaching click the email tab.

💥 New Variation: “Somersault Squat” on the Smith Machine. If traditional squats light up your knees more than your quads or glutes… this is for you. This Smith machine variation changes the mechanics to reduce forward knee stress while still loading the lower body hard. Why it works… 👇🏼 ✅ Fixed bar path = more control, less joint instability ✅ Upright torso positioning reduces excessive knee translation ✅ Better hip loading = more glute involvement ✅ Great for lifters managing knee irritation
