We have learned from experience that the first rep of your work set is not your actual first rep, but the unracking of the bar. If you follow this mindset, you are going to have a good start in burying the first rep of your squat all the way down into the bottom. A lacklustre unracking sets you up for trouble. No tightness means no tension. No tension means your muscles aren't carrying the load to the starting position the way they should. The result is a weight that feels heavier than an elephant. And who, in all seriousness, wants to squat with an elephant on their back to full depth? In this video, I am pointing out five mistakes to avoid when you unrack the bar in the squat. Details matter. We ought to take them serious. So should you.
