How to Squat for Cycling

A lot of athletes ask us how to perform a proper squat, so we linked up from Coach Erin Carson from EC Fit to walk us through it.

You will find squats for cycling in our 2 weight lifting plans /training-plans/weight-lifting-for-cycling/

and our at Home version /training-plans/weight-lifting-at-home-cycling/

Bar is on back right below C7 of your Spine 6. Drive hips back as you lower 7. Hip hinge 8. No ass to the grass And MOST importantly... Keep your back safe!
