An optimal warm up helps us move more efficiently and unlocks potential performance. A well rounded warm up usually will consist of soft tissue work, joint mobility work to enhance the positions we need to move into and stability work.

Proper breathing and bracing are key to a big squat. However, most of the time we think we're doing this correctly, when we're not. Make sure to breathe "into your stomach" and then brace over the top like you're about to take a punch into the gut. Hold this throughout the duration of the lift.

To go more in depth in a proper squat warm up, check out this YouTube video: youtube.com/watch?v=t1e_6Yr0vdU&t=909s

Research has shown when you breath and brace properly, it allows you to lift with more power! To read more on breathing and bracing when squatting, check out this blog: squatuniversity.com/2016/02/12/the-squat-fix-co…
