Chinese Weightlifting Squat Technique

September 17, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Kirk has some cues for a good squat form.

1. Chest stays as high arched as possible.
2. Feet pointed point, comfortable width.
3. Shoulders stay behind knees (super tough for the long torso lifter)
4. Push butt back and sit down. At this point, think “chest up, chest up”
5. Keep in control all the time. Avoid bouncing unless in fatigued state.

If you look at videos of Chinese lifters. It’s often very controlled. Not too much bouncing.
That’s about it..
