Most Form Breakdowns Have the Same Three Causes

Knee cave, butt wink, bar drifting forward on the bench, rounding at the bottom of a deadlift — these show up constantly, and they almost always trace back to one of a handful of fixable habits. This cheat sheet gets straight to those fixes instead of a 40-minute video you have to pause and rewind.

What’s Actually on the Page

One printable sheet, split into the big three lifts. Each section lists the three most common errors for that lift, what’s actually causing them, and the specific cue or adjustment that fixes it — stance width, bar path, bracing, setup position. It’s built to sit on your phone or stuck to the wall by your rack, not read once and forgotten.

Why One Page Beats a Full Course

You don’t need a certification to fix your own squat depth. You need to know which of three or four things is going wrong and how to correct it on your next set. This sheet is deliberately narrow — it’s not a full technique course, it’s the fast-reference version for lifters who already know the lifts and just need the fix.

Who This Is For

Lifters training on their own without a coach watching every rep, who want a quick gut-check before their next session. Keep it in your gym bag or your phone’s photo roll.
