Ten Technique Faults And How To Fix Them

Knees caving on the squat usually means weak hips or a stance that is too narrow. Cue spreading the floor apart with your feet and drop the load ten percent.

Hips shooting up on the deadlift means the weight is beating your leg drive. Cue pushing the floor away and pause the bar just below the knee on lighter sets.

Bar drifting forwards on the overhead press comes from the head not moving out of the way. Cue pushing your head through the window as the bar passes the forehead.

Elbows flaring on the bench, rounding at the bottom of a hinge, wrists collapsing on presses and shrugging during rows all respond to the same treatment: reduce the load, slow the tempo and film a set from the side.
