Why Your Hips Shoot Up Early When You Squat

[@brandon53081]

What if the form is perfect on the eccentric and the hip shoot up before the shoulders coming out of the hole?

Thank you for the video. I just started getting into squats and my hips shoot up early; I feel like it’s due to my weak quads too - I feel the quads maxing out earlier in the movement compared to the hip flexors like you said. Although this doesn’t make sense to me since I do this even when squatting just 40kg, but I can somehow leg press 150kg which indicates that my quads should handle the 40kg load. Could it be more of a form issue then or is there another muscle group hindering the movement here?

Thanks for watching! Leg press is a completely different exercise so I don't think you can compare the two. Even if your quads are strong on a leg press, something about the way you squat is likely limiting your ability to use your quads effectively.
