I learned that if I am going to do any type of squat (I don't do many) I have to stick my butt way way back - I suppose that is the same process as bending forward at the waist before squatting. Same with side lunges - I focus on where my behind is and then bend the knee. Yes, nothing worse for a bike riding female than not being able to squat (IMO) Makes it tough out on those lonely roads
