**squat tip**
Often when squatting multiple reps we tend to “ease off the gas pedal” aka not apply the same amount of muscular contraction from the bottom of the squat to lockout. By keeping your “foot on the gas,” it will aid in working through the “sticky” part of the lift where the transition of force gets passed from the hamstrings/glutes to the quads. When performed properly each rep will feel like the bar wants to “pop” off your shoulders and you may hear the weights “clink.”
High bar vs. Low bar:
I get questions about which version of the backsquat is best and the answer to that is dependent on what YOU want to achieve. Here’s a link that talks about that and more related to the backsquat:
