🏋🏻‍♀️ 3 Easy Squat Fixes - Quick Technique Fixes for the Barbell Squat and Bench 👀

[@geegee_509]

Meg giving us weight lifting content even after birthing a whole human is why I love her ❤️ That dedication is everything.

[@janeyjane6818]

I just subscribed because of this video…I am new to “getting fit”. Joined a gym about 5 months ago, and I am struggling with technique so this is great, please continue to make these type videos. Deadlifts is a big thing I am struggling with, so a technique to cover that would be great and any other “leg/butt” workouts involving an overhead bar. Thank you!

[@natachasaumell6070]

Love these technique reviews. So helpful. Would love to see more on any of your platforms

[@mandymarler7222]

Brilliant video and very helpful, especially in light of the fact that today I did my first proper back squat! It was only with the barbell, no plates, but damn it, I was proud of myself! I managed to do three sets of 5 reps and when I finished I just wanted to keep going back to the squat rack, lol!

[@stephypaul571]

Loving this as a series...would be really helpful to see barbell lunges

[@helencherry9133]

Yes yes yes!!! I like these videos on YT. I have to admit, as much as I like Insta, I don't know much about "stories", so I usually like watching videos here. Even though I'm not advanced to these levels yet, I'm learning from them and hopefully will be set up once I get there. I got a pair of Vans @ Goodwill for $20 that I plan on using for ST.

[@NH-1983]

Squats are my most hated lift. Over 8 years of training I haven’t improved at all. I think now it’s become a fear thing. If I do tempo work I can stay controlled. I have long legs short torso and I’m quad dominant. I need help so bad. My coaches at CrossFit are super helpful but I just haven’t progressed. Don’t have social media so please post some more video of different peoples techniques. Thanks. Xxx

[@saripena6328]

Yes please more videos!!! 🙃🙃👏thanks for sharing!!!👍🏽👍🏽

[@katherinebrown3772]

I've been using stronger by the day for a few months now and I am so much stronger! I love your lifts and I've learned so much! Can you incorporate more abs/ core into the program?

[@kerryhenderson4346]

I never usually comment but this was sooooo helpful! Thank you

[@jacquelinearthseed76]

This was great. Really appreciate it as I'm getting back into a formal lifting program after many, many years. Perfect reminders.

[@nomad762]

Another major problem with tippy-toeing out of the rack is when you re-rack. Especially after a heavy set. Having to tippy-toe or semi-jump the bar back into the rack can get dangerous.

[@ebony618]

I wish I saw this video before I did my bench press wrong this morning lol! Thanks for sharing these awesome tips. Will have to try these in my next gym session!

[@nancyibrahim3852]

[@LadyMckinley]

[@catsarecool9857]

Love love love to see you continuing your fitness journey with your new body. I haven’t had kids yet, but seeing you getting back into the groves of things makes creating life that much more exciting. Thank you for your realness and dedication to us 🥰

[@erinkastenschmidt8441]

Yes, please more technique reviews. They are very helpful.

[@rubylong8897]

Great quick tips that are easy to understand & apply! Seriously tho, shoes make ALL the difference! When I started lifting I wore Nike running shoes & always felt off balance & insecure in my big lifts. I started going barefoot & it changed everything🙌 Now I usually wear Chucks for deadlift & posterior chain days & metcons any squat days. My metcons came with an addition heel lift to add if needed. Bar path, set up & lay engagement are all HUGE in the success of those lifts too💕

[@23lexicon]

Okay wow, doing my bench all wrong. Thanks for the tips!! I'd also like to know how to set up an incline bench press using a barbell.

[@carolchartrand8865]

[@kippen64]

Really enjoyed this. So helpful.

[@JJenae]

Yes Meg keep coming with the technique videos. You answered every question I needed to help with my bench press and back squats. Is your husband recording you? Great job on the angles because I needed to see that it from the side. I’m about to execute the gym on Monday.

[@mayaangela1743]

Just got our first squat rack so excited to get back to squatting!! Thank you meg cant wait to see more videos

[@Sneakylass]

Thanks for sharing Meg! I'm definitely tip toeing in/out of the Squat rack so I'll be sure to make adjustments now

[@ashleybeer7460]

Yesssss. More of this content please! Got some useful tips this round 💪

[@MeeksLp]

Great tips meg thanks xxx

[@erinmurray2689]

Love it, it’s given me lots to work on once I’ve had my baby and back to benching. Had no idea my form was so horrendous 😂

[@christiechisholm5823]

This is so helpful! Please do more of these!

[@makarachan7886]

love it! I'm having major problems with my squat form and deadlift form, so hoping I can work on it with these videos!

[@Lina_92_]

Yes please more technique reviews - this is really helpful!

[@KarolG-b7g]

So helpful! Thanks

[@TheGermanHiker]

Thanks Meg, awesome vid! Gonna head into my next upper body with your tips.

[@danb7207]

Your techniques are super helpful. You’ve reminded me of things that I have become complacent about and need to pay more attention to. Thank you 😊

[@17nymph]

Thank you so much for those tips! They're very helpful.

[@jesseniaocasio3854]

omg, thanks for talking about shoes, I asked myself this question recently and came across your video! also, your top looks really supportive, can you tell me the brand?

[@Brain320]

Vid was great as usual. I'd only add that diagonal path is fine BUT we arch the back to make it less diagonal for max power. Perhaps that's more for intermediate/advanced benchers though. Basically we want to get as close to decline bench press as possible with arching as that's where we will be able to lift max weights...

[@lttlod1]

This was great! I workout in my basement so I can squat etc in bare feet, which I prefer! I would like to see form with dumbells on the bench and goblet squats. Also dumbell rows. I use these a lot because it's so hard to get to the gym during the school year. I'm a teacher and these kids be all zappin my energy so efficient workout at home is best for me!

[@lauraaviles3144]

This video was very informative! thank you for making these types of videos !

[@sexxymami74]

You are amazing!! Thanks for all the tips. I enjoy learning from u and getting stronger in the process! #blessings😊💪🙏

[@scarletel-amin7820]

I’ve just started CrossFit bc of your videos, solely to learn technique , as well as start my journey with lifting, I would eventually like to go about this on my own and not have to expense a trainer, ur Videos help !! I am definitely needing the guidance, please post more.. my problem has been, bringing my knee in on a squat, how do get more stability and still have the ability to add weight??

[@camilliapink4362]

This was extremely helpful!!! Such great tips and reminders! I train solo and can’t afford a trainer right now. So thank you for your help! 🙏🏽

[@Kitten1574]

Love this type of video! Great tips as usual

[@fatalerok]

[@irmajuarez3800]

Awesome video. I learned a lot.

İ have metcon 6 black too and it s really perfect for weight lifting , stablish keep you safe and very cute style. And the pad inside for heels is really helpful for squatting

[@sumerlynparchaso5061]

I love all your videos! You’re the reason why I started lifting. Made me feel confident as a girl to start lifting. What do you usually drink for a good/fast muscle recovery. Hope you notice my comment!!!

[@stephaniestute2719]

Hi, what is arch or bridge while doing bench press. Is that helpful?

[@christiemartinez337]

Great tips!! I’m definitely going to be more mindful on the four points on my feet ☺️

[@echogreen11games]

[@pistaciocookie]

[@karstedt9987]

Yes to foot control. Knees to toes don't get enough attention. My feet are so rigid I really work my shins and exterior lower leg when I squat.

[@BiGsImY]

It’s the first and greatest fitness girl KZbinr!!!

[@veronicag6093]

Great video...I just found your page and I'm finding it all super helpful in my new journey. These technique reveiws, also, super helpful. Why do you not want your elbows to flair in the bench press? (Go straight down)

[@suzettelewis7299]

Great tips

[@kelseyblackmon676]

Working out at home this last year has gotten me addicted to lifting barefoot 😂 never going back!!
