She Got a Donk

I have finally figured out how to do a squat to 90 degrees (or more) without taking a bow.

You gotta pop that butt out.

No, but really. Once I watched "So You Think You Can Squat" parts 1 and 2 on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ME8gEN54Ao), I tried some things out. I could not get over the difference between a squat where my booty is tooched and when it isn't. I can actually stay up fairly straight!! Yes, I know you're supposed to pick a spot on the wall ~30 degrees above eye level to keep you upper back from drooping under the weight, but even with that technique and no barbell, I couldn't do a squat without bending forward almost parallel to the ground. 

But! (pun intenteded) When I create that arch in my back my form improves 100%. 

So drop it like its hot and go do some squats.
