The ability to strike the bottom of a squat, solidly, is critical. You will find, if you work at it, that mastering the squat opens up just about every other exercise. Why? It's not just "strength"...the majority of that skill to hit the bottom is Balance/Flexibility. Yes, shout-out to the boys showing us Balance and Flexibility (enough of the gals banging pullups, eh?).
Work on it with heels up, goblet squat, holding a band...whatever assists you need to slowly develop this skill. You'll soon find that those loose hips contribute to better exercises all around.

I say we have an "Air Squat Challenge" to see who can do the most air squats "correctly" in a time period to be determined...that is what I think! Any takers out there in Phreakville?????
And to make it more interesting, how about making it overhead squats while holding a white-bar....???????
I guess I better say ,yes!
I'll take you on Johnny Livewrong!
I am in, but if push ups weasel their way into the challenge....then all bets are off!
