If you’ve ever thought “I can’t squat like that” or “that lift doesn’t look right on me”—you’re not alone.
Here’s the truth: there’s no perfect version of a lift.
There’s only the version that works best for your body.
At Woodshed, we focus on movement patterns—like squatting, hinging, pressing, and pulling. These patterns show up in everyday life: getting off the floor, lifting a bag of mulch, climbing stairs.
But how you move through those patterns will look different than someone else.
It should.
Your build, injury history, activity level, and even how you slept last night—these all affect how you move.
A “good” squat isn’t about hitting some textbook position. It’s about bending your knees and hips in a way that feels strong, safe, and repeatable for you.
That’s where good coaching matters. We don’t force you into someone else’s mold—we help you find your own groove, whether that’s in class or a 1-on-1 session.
So if you’ve been holding back because you think you don’t move “right,” let that go.
You don’t need the perfect lift. You need your pattern done well.
We can help you find it.
