Back squat

One in a series of instructional strength training videos produced for an online strength training class at the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse by Travis M. Erickson, MS, CSCS*D. These videos, in conjunction with on campus, small-group exercise instruction, are intended to give the student a basic, working knowledge of strength training technique including why the lifts are done, how they are done correctly, and what common errors exist.

you lean too much forward which could result in either "good-morning" the weight out of the hole or injuring yourslef. other than that it's good; deep,back straight and knees not caving in.

@psolarhidi Agreed -- I think some of it is a function of trying to squat with an unloaded bar.

@Airickson that's true whenever i'm home and try to squat with a broomstick for practice my technique gets a little bit messed up.
