Lower Back Rounding

[Timmy!]

Hello Coach,

During squats, my lower back keeps rounding as I approach the bottom of the squat. Any thoughts/remedies?

Thanks

Don't let it do that, Timmy! Get your knees out of the way, lock you back into extension, stretch out your hamstrings, and read the book.

Actually, put the book on the floor few feet ahead of you and try to focus on that. Multitasking.
