How to Anchor Your Feet For A Monumental Squat

  1. Stand up and take your normal squat stance. Note what parts of your feet feel like they are anchored to the floor. For most of you, they will just be flat and resting on the floor, not anchoring you much, and not supporting you effectively.
  2. Drive your little toe into the floor. Push it in as firmly as you can. Feel the foot start to engage and the calf come into play.
  3. Repeat this action with your big toe. Drive it into the floor with force and feel the arch on your foot engage as well as the tibialis anterior (front of the shin) tighten. You will already feel much more stable on the floor.
  4. Imagine your heels are like two corkscrews you are trying to screw into the ground.Screw the heels in the direction that would push your knees outwards. Feel your adductors, hamstrings, glutes and quads activate.

Now, you’re ready to lift.
