Sometimes the squat feels off and you can't see why.
Use the stick as a reference.
Three points of contact:
Head.
Upper back.
Tailbone.
When the hips move and the stick stays connected, the spine is stable.
When the stick loses contact, the spine is creating depth.
Not the hips.
If you can't control the squat with a stick, adding a barbell doesn't fix it.
