During Squat day, the coaches will be going through the basic mechanics of how to do an air squat, front squat, back squat and overhead squat.  We will also be going over mobility exercises to help you get into a better position in your squat.  Check out the video below from K-Star at the Games explaining the importance of creating torque while squatting.
