Foot Pressure

The drill requires pushing the arch of the foot into the wall. Body weight should stay on the heels while lowering into the squat. Pushing the feet into the wall creates hip engagement and helps maintain position. Foot pressure should activate the glute on the top side of the body. Pressing the feet into the wall is one source of the drill's abdominal and hip work. The feet should be placed against a wall for the drill setup. The top foot is placed against the wall so the arch can press into it. Heel-loaded foot pressure is one of the mechanics emphasized by the support-assisted drill.
