Whenever I do squats, I notice that I have been doing this kind of little dance like thing where I have to like shake/drop my butt low to lift the weights up. Not sure if it is extremely improper form and if I should drop the weights lower.
PS: recommend muting the sound to ignore school gym's music.

The dreaded butt wink. It's a mobility/flexibility issue which causes it, you'll need to improve your mobility/flexibility to fix that, otherwise lower back injuries will occur.

You are rounding your lower back in the hole. That’s bad. Drop the weight slowly, then squeeze your glutes at the bottom to muscle up; keep your back angle; use lighter weight if necessary to lock in the form.

Butt wink is usually down to poor hamstring flexibility or hip mobility. Any stretching you do to improve those 2 things should help.Originally Posted by healking
DeFranco's limber 11 is a popular program that should help you improve your flexibility and mobility. But I found it wasn't good enough to fix all my mobility/flexibility issues as I'm naturally very inflexible. I started doing yoga but that's probably not necessary for most people, very few people are as inflexible as me.Bench -216lbs
Squat - 268lbs
Deadlift - 375lbs
OHP - 134lbs
