It got me sitting into the glutes and really helped me fire my hips from the hole. I focus on squeezing my groin in the hole, and it really helps.


I don't know if this.

I break at knees first to get correct knee placement then release hips. When I go up I use my quads and drive up with my back of my hips and squeeze glutes going into the hinge. The groin cue seems to take away from the glutes.

Can you find a video to explain what you're talking about?

Sorry, no video or really any article explaining or rationalizing what I'm talking about. I'm not even entirely sure if it's good advice, but it helps me .

I could be describing it incorrectly as I do still use my quads to drive up, but the squeezing the groin helps me push my hips forward out of the hole (or atleast it makes me focus on doing it). As I mentioned, I only ever thought of squats as a vertical lift, but when I focus on squeezing my groin and driving my hips forward, it keeps my knees from caving in.

No clue if it makes any sense, but it helps me ha.
