Sending the hips back in a squat and tilting the pelvis forward are two different things.

If you try and stay upright, arching your back, you might end up tilting the pelvis which will result in a butt wink and not enough stability and strength in the core.

Also for people with longer femurs, like my wife here, a little bit more torso lean forward is necessary to achieve proper mechanics and depth.

I am teaching her here to keep the upper back tight, ribs to hips and get a slight leaning forward posture. From there she imagines having a vertical bar path, hips go back and down and her belly button "drawing" a vertical line towards the floor.

Try this next time you do squats and see how much stronger you feel 🙌🏻

The back muscle that should be working the most during deadlifts is actually your latissimus and not your erectors. 😉

The thing that people usually overlook is food quality.

Yes you can lose weight if you are in a caloric deficit but its not all sunshine and rainbows there.

That's why im always saying- MAKING YOUR OWN FOOD IS THE FIRST STEP.

When the goal is losing weight people often forget to track:

1. How they feel
2. How they train
3. Their libido
4. How they sleep

And the thing here is that when you start eating cleaner your visceral fat (the one around your organs) is usually the one "melting away" first and its reduction is actually making your life better because it is much more metabolically active.
