I have a 19 year old female athlete who although has been working in the weights room with her bastketball team for some time has dreadful squat technique with what is probably best described as being bow legged. Should I get her working on overall body conditioning and strengthning the glutes etc first or should we perservere with the squat and try and force the technique. Any ideas or suggestions?

I’m not sure but I believe I saw previously a leg circuit routine on this site but I cannot find, does anyone have the link.

Work on overall conditioning. Don’t force the squats. Some people just aren’t built to squat. Try other means such as lunges, split squats, reverse lunges, etc. It’s not convenient to have someone break the mold of your program but sometimes it just has to be done.
