Told a client to “zip up your ribs like a winter coat,” and their knees finally stopped kissing during 3x8 goblet squats with a green miniband. What silly cues or playful rehab-prep drills keep people bracing and glute-firing in those 10‑minute finishers so we lock in good patterns and prevent the usual Monday low-back grumble?
And > drills keep people bracing and glute-firing in those 10‑minute finishers so we lock in For the 10‑min finisher I cue “rip the floor like a napkin,” slide the green miniband to the arches, and run 20‑sec squat holds with 3 slow exhales, then 5 pop-up reps — knees stop kissing fast. If they still wobble, I lighten the goblet and say “aim your belt buckle at the wall”; you tried the band-at-arches swap?
Quick win in those 10-minute finishers: have them bear-hug a light medball and ‘crush the logo’ on the way down to light up lats and brace so the ‘knees stop kissing’ without over-cueing. If the green miniband turns it into a hip-abduction contest, I swap to heels-elevated goblets for a week to groove the track.
Try: “glue your big toes, peel your arches,” while crushing the KB horns — turns on lats and stacks the can so the knees track without band theatrics; if they still shove out, I swap to a small plate under the heels for a week. @antonio_k34 you ever pair that with a 3–1-0 tempo?
