Jul 17, 2011 11:11 AM: I know this might be a weird tip, but when sitting on the toilet seat, sit in a squat position while you "do your business".

Apr 7, 2010 10:24 PM: Mark Rippetoe might know as much about the squat as anyone on the planet. He recommends pointing the toes out 30 degrees, tracking the knees out over the toes, and maintaining a very tight arch in the back (performing a valsalva against the back strain to create a rigid core). No "butt wink."...+See More Mark Rippetoe might know as much about the squat as anyone on the planet.

Jan 25, 2010 8:13 PM: be careful not to arch your back forward. Always keep it tight and straight, or even arched up a little at the bottom.

Jan 6, 2010 11:12 AM: for those of you who have short hams, place a small plate beneath your heels. This will help you preform this excercise way better.
