There’s one thing you should know about squatting: you can’t hide from a “bad” squat. And I don’t mean “bad” like it’s your fault, but whatever the niggle is: tight hips, knees, or ankles, or a muscular imbalance, your squat can highlight it within a few reps.
If you’re now thinking about yours and what to look for, I strongly recommend reading our how-to squat guide to help you fine-tune the proper squat technique. I also recommend performing reps in the mirror, or using a spotter, and working with just your body weight or on the bar using your full range of movement.
