That viral squat won’t save your back. It’ll just bruise your quads.

Bar on the hip. Forward lean. Looks creative on Instagram.

Loading it heavy? Brutal on the quads, hard to balance, and there’s a better option.

Leg extensions. Same target, way more controllable.

Make sure you write that down.

Tried the viral banded pull up by . Thumbs up, with one caveat.

Band wraps around your back, thumbs in the loop. It feels good and the mechanics check out. But if you’re working with someone who doesn’t have the strength to push their hands away from that band position, skip it and stick with the standard version.

Make sure you write that down.
