- How can I improve my squat technique

Sure thing! Here are five different ways to improve your squat technique:

**Check Your Form**: Start by filming yourself or having a friend watch you squat. Look for any form issues like leaning too far forward or not keeping your chest up. Sometimes just seeing it can help you fix it!

**Mobility Work**: Spend some time working on your hip and ankle mobility. Tight hips or ankles can really mess with your squat. Try stretches like lunges or ankle dorsiflexion exercises to loosen things up.

**Use a Box**: Squatting to a box can help you find the right depth and keep your form in check. It gives you a target to aim for and helps you get comfortable with the movement.

**Practice with Lighter Weights**: If you’re struggling, drop the weight and focus on perfecting your form. It's better to squat lighter with good technique than to lift heavy and risk injury.
