@@sachinpatel7004 you can do it that way! You just might need to hold your breath instead for the really tough reps

[@nikitaw1982]

​@@sachinpatel7004exhale after last quarter of the rep my guess. This video he's talking about barbell back squat, why would u brace doing body weight squat? His other replys seem like he's covering his butt.

[@nikitaw1982]

Did u sort it? Sounds like stiffness and weakness I the small muscles in neck and shoulders.

[@shivampurohit1331]

I had a question, I get off balance really soon, like after 5 reps. What should I do? Please help 🥺

[@LanceGoyke]

You'll have to keep training it! If you're getting off balance, your stabilizing muscles are getting tired. So we have to train them!

@@shivampurohit1331 YEAH BUDDY! Awesome work. Change happens fast, eh?

[@shivampurohit1331]

@@LanceGoyke yep bro, but still even bodyweight squats are extremely tiring and taxing on my knees. Can you tell me how I can avoid straining my knees?

[@LanceGoyke]

@@shivampurohit1331 Hmm. It could be any number of things. Most people mess up because they don't push through their heels during the entire rep. Even subtle shifts onto your forefeet can cause problems. Other than that, you can bend more at the waist, pushing the hips back, as you descend in the squat. That will place more load on the hips and less on the knees.
