In this episode of Alpha Radio, coaches Isabella von Weissenberg, Chris Aslan, Tatsuya Pun and George Moussa break down everything squat. From the fear of heavy weights on your back to the anatomy of a perfect unrack, we explore why the squat is the most daunting (and satisfying) lift in powerlifting.

We cover:

• Why your setup dictates your success
• The difference between lifting the bar vs being crushed by it
• How to brace properly (without bearing down)
• Midfoot, torque, stacked positions, and why "knees out" might be sabotaging you
• The eternal high bar vs low bar debate
• Why ankle mobility might not be your biggest problem
• Common squat cues we love, hate, and have re-learned over time

Whether you're just getting back under the bar or chasing a new all-time PB, this episode is packed with practical coaching gems.
