Everyone Should Squat

from The Minimum Effective Dose · host Mike Perry

The squat is a fundamental human movement pattern that also happens to be a wildly popular strength training exercise. Unfortunately, the squat pattern is often misunderstood, misapplied and taught incorrectly. In this podcast, Mike talks about why adults cannot squat like babies, how hip architecture plays a role in movement and also how anthropometry will influence your overall squat posture. If squats hurt your knees, find a good coach and see if you have some technique or movement flaws you can clean up to start squatting properly.
