Pre-Squat Warmup
This is an incredible drill for loosening up your groin and hip region before squatting. Stand two inches from a wall and squat down with your nose nearly touching the wall. You want to concentrate on actively pulling yourself down into the hole with your hip flexors.
Before going down take a deep breath and hold it in your belly. Initiate the descent by breaking at the hips and sitting back. Maintain the arch in your lower back throughout the drill. At first you may not be able to get to parallel. That's perfectly fine. Just go as low as you can and perform some small bounce reps in the bottom position. This will help you loosen up.
On each successive rep try to get lower and lower until you break parallel. It's always best to have someone watch from the side so you know if you are losing your arch or not.
