Pro Tips

  • Warm up thoroughly - legs require more preparation than upper body muscles.
  • Focus on depth in squats - aim for at least parallel or below for maximum muscle activation.
  • Don't skip hamstrings - they're crucial for knee health and leg development.
  • Include both bilateral (squats) and unilateral (lunges) movements.
  • Use SpotWell's AI form analysis to perfect your squat and deadlift technique.
