Why People Get Stuck at the Bottom of a Squat (And How to Fix It)

Getting stuck at the bottom of a squat isn’t a strength problem—it’s a movement problem. Learn why hesitation, poor hip drive, and weak glute engagement cause breakdowns, and how to fix it with a simple drill you can do anywhere.

"I have been a member for over 14 years. I have torn both my ACL's in my knees when I was 17 and 24 years old. I am now 51, and I'm in the best shape of my life! Physically, mentally, and spiritually because of Steve Woolridge and krav maga. Not only do you get stronger, more flexible, have better coordination, you also learn how to defend yourself!! I would 100% agree with Steve that you will get into the best shape of your life and have fun doing it!!!"
