Hi I hope someone here can help me

I recently started squatting and I noticed when I try to go into a deep squat,I notice my ass comes in instead of going out I think its called a buttwink? how can I fix this?

Mobility and core control.

Look at the Mobility thread for the answers you seek.

^^ Also making sure your form is correct, no amount of mobility and core control will stop butt wink if your trying things like ATG low bar squats

Check out the Form thread as well.

Dipping belt.

A dipping belt.....If you can't afford one, stick a DB between your legs.

I'll give that a shot before buying the belt of course! never though of it.. duh.

It's that or you grip it with your teeth....

or fill your pants with plates

A real man would just balance the plates on his head for that full neck/dips workout.

strapping a 20kg plate to my mustache would probably be the best way..

 

[tom_e]

Now you're just talking crazy

 

[Syla5]

take in a backpack, put plates in backpack. Can be used for more then just dips.

If you do get a dipping belt cut the POS chain off it comes with and grab yourself a longer, stronger length from a hardware store and a second clip.
