Stop doing this. Then keep reading to fix your already bad real squat.
The Squat is a technical lift … maybe … the most technical lift of all.
- Chest should be up,
- shoulders back and down,
- elbows down,
- lower back slightly arched,
- sitting back into the squat,
- weight on the midfoot/heels,
- knees pressing out to the sides,
- posterior chain loaded …
… And rebounding strong out of the hole … there’s a LOT to get right!

Pudzianowski knows how to lose fat and not strength. Do you?
Got this excellent comment:
“alright so here it is. I weigh about 180 lbs and I am High Bar squatting 225 lbs for 3 x 5. I do this 3 times a week as per the Starting Strength program (yeh I am going against Rippetoe with the High bar squat, but I like it better). I want to lose a lot of fat and am at about 20% bodyfat right now? My nutrition is now in check so the only variable that I am missing is cardio. I used to do basketball but i rolled my ankle for the 5th time on friday so I have to take a week off. Anyways, what type of cardio would you recommend to lose fat fast? Should I do something like the BEAR complex post workout? There is no track in my area for me to sprint on, which is a shame since I love sprinting. Anyways, how many times a week should I do some sort of HIIT and how many times a week should I do steady state so that it DOES NOT interfere with my strength gains?”
Ahh … where do I start?
