Episode 58: Squatting to Have a Back That Ages Well

Jeff Armstrong Season 1 Episode 58

The Aging Well Podcast considers the squat one of the "basic 5" foundational exercises for strength and muscle hypertrophy, but what does one do if they have a back injury? Additionally, how does one prevent back injury while squatting? In this episode, Dr. Armstrong and Corbin Bruton discuss the squat. Specifically, they discuss the variations of the squat--including squatting with a hip belt--to avoid injury or to deal with a current back injury.
