Squat Hack ✨

Fact: barbell squats are one of the most common exercises people get hurt doing. Not because they’re “dangerous,” The problem isn’t the squat, it’s the lack of mobility, core stability, and load control going into it. Master the mechanics first, then add the weight. Grab that Pilates ring to help!
