Using a prop like a medicine ball as a depth gauge when teaching the squat can be helpful by giving the client feedback before he or she develops better body awareness. This should be a temporary solution, however—everyone must be weened away and learn to recognize proper positioning and depth without external help. Also avoid allowing your clients to use the prop in question to reduce the demand of the movement, e.g. bouncing off the ball. Pictured is Eva T performing Tabata squats duri......

Weightlifting shoes serve purposes beyond just making you look cool. The hard soles ensure generated force is more completely transferred and provide a stable platform for the feet and ankles. In addition, the elevated heels increase the effective range of motion of the ankles, allowing the hips to be brought in closer to the heels when squatting and consequently the torso to be kept more upright. Do-Win, Werksan and Adidas all make quality shoes.......
