Do you ever catch yourself checking your form in the mirror as you walk out from the squat rack before your first rep?

I do.

And I've noticed something interesting: if I keep looking at the mirror, I often change my movement instead of feeling it. I have to refocus on the internal sensation of the squat rather than what I think it looks like.

It's a small adjustment, but those little corrections add up over years of training.

My body demands constant attention to technique, especially on squats. The more years I add to my training, the more I realize there is always something to improve. That's one of the reasons I still love training after all these years.

These are some of the things I'm always working on:

• Ankle mobility
• Squat depth and posture
• Total weight and training volume
• Left-to-right symmetry
• Maintaining a strong spinal curve
• Preventing wrist strain during front squats
• Keeping my core braced through heavy sets
• Breathing control

Mastery isn't about reaching perfect form once.

It's about practicing the fundamentals for a lifetime.
