Rant: Sticking With a Tempo on My Squats Unlocked My Glutes For REAL
I began adding a three-second descent to every squat rep last month, after my coach pointed out I was dive-bombing into the hole. Focusing on that controlled pace made me AWARE of when my knees were caving in, and I could actively push them out. Now my glutes actually FEEL engaged at the bottom, and my depth is consistent without any butt wink. Such a simple fix, but it made a HUGE difference in stability.
