At Basebell, we strip away the gimmicks and teach you how to lift correctly. ## Photos and videos - [Video: I don't just teach this stuff, I live it. This is me squatting 160kg, twice my bodyweight, without a belt. The barbell squat is a powerful tool for building resilient legs and a strong core. When people say it's dangerous, it's because they don't understand how to execute it properly.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/cb63eb2a-c6e5-4111-acff-0285d72f12f0) - [Video: Breaking through a plateau with a 140kg split squat for 4 reps. This unilateral exercise is incredible for building single leg strength, stability, and correcting imbalances between your left and right side.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8365461a-af48-4f31-a353-a314dec8a028) - [Video: Another 140kg split squat set. I focus on staying calm and controlled, not aggressive. Building strength is about channeling effort efficiently, not just grunting and throwing weight around.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/082e8626-5c81-4b6c-b9d7-8525781186f2) - [Video: The difference between a good split squat and a bad one is the range of motion. People load up the weight but cut the depth short. That last few inches where the knee touches the ground is what makes the exercise truly effective and humbling.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/7daad66c-1dd7-4f04-a0be-a41185bfa118) - [Video: This is what recovery looks like. After months of rehabbing a severe quadricep tendinitis, I'm back to hitting some decent checkpoints with beltless high bar squats. The process is slow, but the goal is sustainable strength.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/903dc482-496c-46b4-a331-4b2f09d364e2) - ![A front view of a heavy back squat. Proper form means keeping the chest up, core braced, and knees tracking over the feet. This is the posture that builds strength safely.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/33828dc4-dea8-4fa1-88dc-a8f52c3bdf9f) - [Video: After a long break to let my knees recover, power cleans are back in my routine. By focusing on posterior chain work, my Olympic lifts feel stronger than ever. This shows that sometimes, strengthening supporting muscles is the key to breaking through a plateau.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6df43110-3bb6-419a-8c92-0742263c11a3) - [Video: A demonstration of a strict 120kg bent over row. There's a lot of nonsense on the internet about "lifting heavy". True strength is about controlling the weight through the full range of motion, not just heaving it with momentum.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/fe26c21a-495b-456d-a385-a9c726947b36) - [Video: The squat reigns supreme for a reason. It's a natural human movement that works multiple joints, builds stability and mobility, and is one of the best exercises for both injury prevention and rehabilitation. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0b0fd10c-a09a-4b21-a228-7792230fb634) ## About The Foundation: Mastering Squats & Lifts People load up the barbell and cut their depth short, thinking they're moving heavy weight. That is a mistake. True strength comes from controlling the entire range of motion, whether you're hitting a back squat or a split squat. If you aren't hitting full depth, you aren't training your joints for stability or mobility. At my studio in Kalyan Nagar, we fix that form first, then we talk about adding plates. The barbell squat is often misunderstood. Critics label it dangerous, but that is usually a result of poor coaching or lazy form. When you learn to brace your core, keep your chest up, and track your knees properly, the squat becomes the safest and most effective way to build a resilient body. In my sessions, I strip away the ego. We do not chase numbers on day one. We focus on movement quality. - The Setup: Understanding bracing mechanics and spinal alignment. - The Execution: Why hitting full depth matters more than the load on the bar. - The Correction: Addressing the 'why' behind your pain, whether it is faulty scapular movement or poor hip hinge mechanics. This is not about getting 'gym ready' for the mirror. It is about movement re-education. I have personally rehabbed my own severe quadricep tendinitis by focusing on proper posterior chain work and controlled eccentric movements. If you want to lift heavy, you need to lift smart. At Basebell, we utilize specific tools like the Nordic hamstring bench and controlled row variations to supplement the big lifts. Whether you are dealing with chronic back pain or just trying to break through a performance plateau, my approach is consistent: identify the root cause, fix the technique, and build strength that serves you outside the gym. ## About Manish Naren I am Manish, and I run Basebell in Kalyan Nagar.
