Jeff Martin offers some strategies for preventing “sliding” and “see-sawing” in squats.
One of the most common problems we see with the squat in our teen class is knees traveling forward too early and too far. We call this “sliding,” and it is exhibited in many ways.
The most common occurrence is when the teen starts the squat by pushing his or her hips back at the beginning of the squat but fails to continue to send the hips back. Instead he or she thrusts the knees forward and sends the hips straight down.
What follows are a few ways to iron out any form breaks you might see in your athletes.
