You have been lied to. 😳
At least when it comes to bracing.
L3 Coach Kat with some coaching GOLD in the middle of a very busy 6am class:
Exhale.
Take a deep breath in.
Think about pulling your hip bones together.
Now hold that brace as you descend into your squat.
And yes—this applies with or without a belt.
Kat knows a thing or two about moving heavy weight. She’s a world-class powerlifter AND an incredible CrossFit coach, casually dropping this gem while somehow fitting the CrossFit Total + a bike workout into a single hour. 😂
Try this cue the next time you squat and see if bracing suddenly feels a little different.
