(Verbal cue: big breath & core tight) 5) Hip hinge to engage the posterior-chain. (Verbal cue: hips back) Remain balanced by keeping the bar over the mid-foot during the entire squat. 6) Hips and chest rise at the same rate on the ascent. ___________________________________________________________ Big thanks to 3d4Medical and their app Complete Anatomy for the visual of the body today.
