im having trouble keeping my back straight...

ive tried doing squats, with a barbell above me, as my dad showed me.

but i keep naturally bending my back and having trouble keeping it straight when i lift up.

is there anything i can buy to support my back ?

thanks

You can buy a belt from Argos mate (i might have one spare you can have, will look a bit later). Keep your head straight and focus on something and dont take your eyes off it till the squat is complete. First few times try without a bar, just try squating.....you will master it!

try spending some time on core streghtening. chances are your core muscles are not developed well enough to hold you straight when squatting.

the problem was when i was in my early teens - 16 i felt really low, so id always sit with my back not straight, and my bodys used to this if that makes sense ?

a belt will sort this out yeh ? ideal! ty!
