I really worked hard today on perfecting my squat form. I am very good with just body weight but when I add weight I start to really lean forward and I think this is what has been putting undue stress on my lower back. I've been trying to correct this and I think I am on to something. My training partner has been very helpful in critiquing my form and it has really helped to have the verbal cues. Today I decided that I wasn't activating my abs enough so I had her jab me with a broomstick on the decent portion to remind me to brace with my core. Every time I did this my form immediately improved so I think this will continue to help me as I progress. I know that my abs have never been that tired from squatting before so that's saying something I guess.


Wicked witch with a broomstick...don't tell her I said that...
