If your squat turns into a good morning under load, it is usually not a cue problem. It is usually one of three limits you can train.

Forward lean most often comes from:

Weak glutes, you cannot sit back and stay balanced, so you tip forward to stand up. My go to fix is a parallel box squat, hips back, light touch on the box, then drive up without collapsing.

Limited ankles, your heel pops as the knees travel, and you fall forward. The fix is simple calf work and controlled knees over toes drills where the heel stays down.

Weak core, especially the abs, you cannot resist the load so the spine flexes and you fold. Eccentric sit ups, plus front squats and goblet squats, are my favorites for building that brace.

We break down how to diagnose which one is getting you, and how to program the exact fixes in a full squat day template.
