What We Saw Wednesday #7: Weight Shifting Forward On Squats | Why your knees or bar shifts forward or heels pop up and how to fix it!

When we see the heels pop up, knees slide forward, or a forward shifting bar path in the squat, we know that your squat technique is not optimal. 

While this may not inherently be a problem or cause an injury, over time, a forward squat can lead to missed lifts, stalled progress, or unexpected injury. 

In this episode of the PRS Podcast we discuss three indications that you’re too forward in your squat and how to fix it.

Here are three reasons you’re weight shifting forward on squat:

  1. You’re moving too fast

  2. Your descent tempo is uneven

  3. You’re dive bombing

Listen to this short, less-than-ten-minute episode to get all the details on identifying why you’re shifting forward in the squat and which is the best technique in order for you to correct it.
