What We Saw Wednesday #29: Two Signs You Lack Squatfidence

Proper squat depth is defined as the hip crease falling below the top of the knee cap. If you find yourself doing a high squat on the first rep and then the subsequent squat reps are to depth, you likely lack confidence, aka Squatfidence. 

 

When technique is not the issue, two signs you lack confidence in your squat include:

1. The first squat rep is high and the remaining squat reps are of appropriate depth. 

2. The last squat rep is to appropriate depth but all previous are slightly high. 

 

When either of these happen it means you have the strength and technique to perform a squat to depth with the load you are using, you just aren't confident.
