- Get some weightlifting shoes- proper weightlifting shoes will give you much better stability thus improving your squat. Most people when they try proper weightlifting shoes are surprised by the difference in their squat instantly.
- Perform front squats- front squats will help improve your back squat by teaching you to perform better squats whilst in an upright position.
- The wet ice cube - when standing in a squat position imagine the position your back would go in to if someone came and put a wet ice cube on your lower back, this posture you would move into would have you standing with your lower back arched more and your chest pushed forward.
- Perform lots of warm up sets- by performing lots of warm up sets your form increases so that when you come to doing your much heavier sets you keep great form.
- Warm up on the treadmill- warming up on the treadmill for 3 minutes prior to doing squats will help increase blood flow and warm up the body getting rid of cracking and popping you often hear when doing your first sets of squats.
- Box squats- place a low bench or box under your bum and lower your self when performing squats down till your bum touches it and then go back up again. This teaches you to go really low and is a great way to measure you are doing full reps.
