Quick hack to improve your squat: practice the walkout as a skill.
Treat every walkout, even with light weight, like it’s a max attempt.
Ingrain the process into your nervous system.
Deliberate practice leads to automatic execution.
Train your setup as seriously as your squat for best results.
3 ways to master your squat walkout:
Minimize steps
Brace before moving
Drill it every session

🧵 THREAD: Accelerate Your Rehab Through Cross-Education 💪
1/ Injured and worried about losing gains? Here's a mind-blowing technique most lifters don't know about: Cross-education. Train one side, maintain strength on BOTH sides!
7/ Don't let injuries stop your progress. Start implementing cross-education today and stay ahead of the game!
“Training in the squat suit and wraps is far too intensive to be done for long periods of time.”
- Risks overreaching
- Hampers recovery
- Limits long-term gains
Do you agree with this approach?
Most people focus on the squat, but the walkout is harder.
Moving heavy weight exposes weaknesses before you even squat.
Practice walkouts from warmup to max sets, every session.
Make the process automatic under pressure.
