  • Sascha Fitness suggests an isometric glute contraction at the end of the movement for better activation and safety.

The article from MSN, titled "Sascha Fitness Reveals a Common Mistake in Squats and Deadlifts," discusses a prevalent error made during these exercises as highlighted by fitness expert Sascha Barboza. She points out that many people incorrectly initiate the movement from their knees rather than their hips, which can lead to improper form and potential injury. Barboza explains that for both squats and deadlifts, the movement should start by pushing the hips back, which helps in engaging the correct muscle groups like the glutes and hamstrings, and maintains the spine's natural alignment. This technique not only maximizes the effectiveness of the exercises but also reduces the risk of back injuries. The article emphasizes the importance of proper form to ensure safety and efficacy in weight training.
