53 Ways to Build Muscle, Gain Strength & Be Awesome

15.    Squat.

16.    Always squeeze the bar as hard as you can, trying to crush it, on every lift you do.

17.    Squeeze your glutes tightly and brace your abs like you’re about to be punched on every standing exercise you do.

There is one thing all really strong individuals have in common.  They all Squat!

Squeezing the bar will create tension in your whole body, especially your torso, allowing you to transfer more power.

Bracing your stomach and glutes will create a stable kinetic chain (your whole body will be like a solid column).
