This week on the USA Weightlifting Podcast, we’re excited to talk about this magical movement known as THE SQUAT! When it comes down to it, many athletes don’t realize the aspects of the squat that need to be paid attention to, developed, and perfected for best carryover into their snatch and clean and jerk. Dr. Aaron Horschig, from Squat University will be joining us today to help fill you in. Aaron is a doctor in Physical Therapy, as well as author of The Squat Bible and 6th-place finisher in the 2011 Senior Nationals.

This episode is loaded with tips to help you both improve your strength as well as proper form in the squat. If you loved this episode please be sure to leave us a review!
