At first glance you look at this picture and the take away is an obviously ugly squat. But before we get all high and mighty, know that this is happening in just about every weight room in every high school everywhere, everyday. There is more to it though. This poor kid is going to go home and this is what’s going to happen:
Kid: “Mom, where is the Advil, my back hurts”
Mom: “Why, what did you do?”
Kid: “Coach had us squatting in the weight room today and it kind of hurts now”
Mom gets an immediate flashback to when she had back pain once and her doctor told her that squats hurt can your back.
Mom: “Squat are bad for your back. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. That coach is really bad.”
No Mom, the coach isn’t bad and neither are squats. You’re son is bad at squats. His squat needs to be fixed and not trained. Corrected, not conditioned. Then he can earn the right to squat with everybody else.
