    Tried my best to not round my back

    I tried my best to not round my back.

    I used 14kg and when I did my goblet squat.I have wide stance .

    I was concentrating on my scapula but don’t know if it’s any better

    I was also trying to hold my head up and my neck a little bit more back

    I tried to bend my ankles a little more but that’s it for me for now without feeling of comfort and control

    BW squats

    So I’ve tried again. This time BW and paused at the bottom to find my place .

    I also did narrow stance

    I feel like I’m breaking down the squat and leaning forward to much when on down fase.
    When I’m in position on down phase I don’t feel discomfort and fell like I go up somehow ok.

    Will post 2 more videos but with 12kg goblet squats for correction

    Severe (3/4)

    Mistake

    Rounded upper back in the squat.

    Solution

    Engage the scapulae through scapula depression (pulling them down) and scapula adduction (pulling them together). These actions result in the chest being pushed out.

    Description

    The cause may be weakness in the upper back, lack of muscular engagement, lack of scapular control, fatigue, or using a weight too heavy. It may also be that the ankles aren’t bending enough which results in the weight at the top needing to be shifted forward to maintain balance. In this case, drop the knees forward more by bending at the ankles.
