Losing form on squats, help.

[ThePolishHammer]

On heavy singles and triples, my left leg buckles in signifigantly. Any idea why this is happening? and how i can work to correct it?

Hips need strengthening. . . start performing wide stance low box squats. Also include some hip abductor and adductor work. This is not uncommon. . .when i get really heavy this will sometimes happen to me.

Zerchers what are those?
What about kneeling squats, would those help to work the hips?
any other exercises
thanks

Zercher squats are squats with the barbell being held in the elbow pit.

I would start thinking about Box Squats if I were you

Your left leg is weaker than your right

time to add a 2-3 sets of 10 single leg work after your main worksets. Just do a Bulgarian squat or stepups.

single leg movements for just that one leg?

what are bulgarian squats?

 

[coolcolj]

well you need to work both legs, but do an extra set for the left one.

basicly a split squat where the rear leg is elevated on a bench.
