This drill is great! Using your around the house dowel, stick, golf club, broom, hockey stick etc. place it on your back and make sure it touches the three points of contact: the back of the head, between the shoulder blades, and the sacrum (the posterior section of your pelvis). From there, simply hinge back with your knees and push your hips back. If at any point you lose contact with the dowel, you know you’re doing it wrong, because the loss of contact reveals that you’re not keeping proper spinal position throughout the movement. Try to get into a deeper squat, while keeping these three points of contact.
