Скачать или смотреть Goodmorning the Squat: Weak Quads?

Goodmorning the squat: when the hips rise faster than the torso and you end up in more of a Goodmorning than a squat position. This has a tendency to limit your squat strength potential, as you lose a lot of the hip drive when the hips are too high and the torso too forward. A lot of times we blame this on weaker quads relative the posterior chain. In my experience, I have seen a little bit of a different story.

I recently had the chance to work with a powerlifter, referred to me by my good friend Alex Babin, who was Goodmorning the squat, but I could not attribute it to weak quads. We dug deeper into the problem, and one of the things that comes up is the way the feet are working into the ground. If your feet are working properly and you create the proper torque at the feet, that in turn creates torque at the hips and space for the hips to come down. That way, you avoid the movement at the bottom of the squat becoming a sagittal plane movement where the knees start to “slide” forward.
