Okay, let’s chat about squats. We love them, don’t we? 𝘯𝘰𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘺𝘦𝘴 You will see every fitness influencer on the Gram repping out squats (generally with a camera zoomed in on their gymshark booty) because voluptuous glutes are all the rage. But squats are good for more than growing peaches.
It’s actually a very functional exercise. Getting in and out of a chair, on and off of a toilet, in and out of a car… they are all squats. Having cared for many elderly patients I can tell you that the ability to stand up from a chair and walk is something many people struggle with greatly as they age.
So how should you train your squat? Weighted? Unweighted? Full range or just to parallel? And what about a 𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘱 butt wink?! The short answer is to train it all the ways.
An unloaded relaxed squat where you butt wink like crazy can be a great position to sit in. Many cultures around the world still utilize this position for eating, going to the bathroom, chatting, cooking, etc.
A bodyweight active squat is a great way to strengthen muscles by fighting gravity to maintain a specific position (neutral spine, extension through the upper back, feet gripping the ground, etc).
Loading the squat can be done in many different ways. Is a butt wink harmful? I’d argue that the more important question is do you know what it is? Do you know if you do it? How does it feel? Have you always done it in a weighted squat? If you train with a rounded lower back and butt wink and feel good doing that, fine. I’d also work on training with more extension at the bottom of your squat to strengthen in that range of motion as well.
Our goal is to help you increase body awareness, identify and understand your goals, assess how different movements feel to you, identify weak areas, strengthen in all the positions, and help you gain the confidence to achieve your goals without Limitations!
