Reading this week

1. Is your Vitamin-D supp helping or hurting you?
2. Joint Laxity in the Female Athlete
1. Interesting points, something for me to keep in mind as I teach in Aerial. Most of our students (easily 80%) are women. 
3. BUUUUUTT Wink

1. Helped me to re-evaluate my squat form. Every once in a while I'll get lazy and start lower back rounding. Most of the time it's no big deal for me, but with the amount of volume/back work I have in my new routine, I really need to dial in form.
2. New cues I've listed for myself:
• Index on rings
• Bar lower than needed on back
• Push up and pull back tight (draw elbows back)
• Tighten bar into place
• Walk out
• Step little wider than hip width
• Screw feet outwards into ground
• Tighten pelvic floor
• Break at knees first
• Squat down, tight core
• Push feet down and out to open hips (notice that I'm not cuing knees out; I find that takes care of itself if I drive my feet out)
• Squeeze butt to drive up\
