Improve your squat and deadlift with this simple drill you can do at home. Here's how.

1. Stand facing a wall with your nose and toes against it. Your feet should be slightly wider than shoulder width with your feet angled out very slightly.
2. Squat down as far as possible with your arms hanging between your legs. (I prefer this to the variation where the arms are kept high.) With each rep, you should be able to drop a little farther.
3. Perform 3 sets of 15 reps every day until you can drop your hips below your knees.
