Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has spent most of his summer spending time vacationing with his family. Whether they jumped off cliffs, boated on expensive yachts, or overlooked breathtaking views, James and his family enjoyed his time off.

But, it looks like James is done with vacation and getting back to business. James took to social media to post a video of himself squatting in the weight room.

While it feels weird to criticize one of the best athletes of all time, this doesn't look like the best squatting form. Of course, the end result is really all that matters, but he's doing something wrong here. That stance is exceptionally wide from the looks of it. Do any of these even count as squats?

LeBron may need to get a new trainer ASAP because this looks like a back injury waiting to happen. Luckily for James, Los Angeles is filled with personal trainers and Instagram models who can show him how to do a proper squat.

All jokes aside, Lakers fans won't care too much about his squatting form so long as he's winning games in Los Angeles. He can handle his training however he wants, as the ends justify the means.

But, if there is any video evidence of LeBron curling in the squat rack, there may be a serious problem. Poor squatting form is one thing, but curling in the squat rack is a mortal sin that you simply can't recover from.
