Back Squat
The foundation of every strong lower body.
Five movements every adult should own — squat, hinge, press, pull, carry — plus the conditioning that lets you do them for decades. Real cues from real coaching. Demos with Andre to follow.

The foundation of every strong lower body.

Vertical torso, every rep.

The first squat every adult should master.

Pick the heavy thing up. Put it down. Repeat.

Teach the hinge before you teach the lift.

Power, conditioning, and posterior chain in one drill.

The horizontal press, programmed for the long arc.

If you can press overhead well, your shoulders will outlast you.

The press every adult should own. No equipment, no excuses.

The honest measure of relative strength.

Build the back you'd want behind every press you make.

Pick up something heavy. Walk. That's the workout.

Maximum effort, minimum joint cost.
