Despite the fact that there are plenty of squat tutorials on YT(some are even done by competent lifters:)) I believe it's good to familiarize yourself with as many styles of squat as possible, since(as said in this vid) everyone has different anatomy so it might take a while for someone to find their optimal position. So big thx for a vid and Liz, you're a beast(in a beautiful way of course:))
That's exactly what I love about this channel. Bryce isn't dogmatic about what is right or wrong, unlike a certain fitness personality with a huge cult following.
i guess im asking randomly but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Ernesto Jayson I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
this is exactly what i needed before squats today EDIT: I took these cues in mind during my session and had a friend watch my depth and buttwink and it worked. Felt stronger in the bottom position too and was more effectively able to drive up with the bar. Liz is a damn life saver
For the squat specifically the butt wink has been my problem for 90% and up. I’m defiantly going to try this next squat day. Thanks bryce! Been watching a lot of your videos lately and I really enjoy your channel!
Sorry, have to double comment, that compare/contrast pull versus push on the DL was some of the best cues I have ever seen for that topic. Super thumbs up.
Been Squatting consistently for over 3 years now and recently its felt like I've forgotten how to squat and all my old cues no longer work. When she talked about bracing, its like something clicked and body weight atleast feels much better, very excited for paused squats tomorrow to see if this new take helps get me back on track. Thanks for the content Bryce and thank you Liz for your knowledge and insight.
I recently started with strength training and I'm still adjusting and trying to find my own technique. after this vid I did a few squats that didn't feel such a pain in the chain.. the key was do a little hinge then brace, I was able to get a better front rib brace than before. looking forward to developing it over the next few weeks - thanks for the great content.
Her conventional form is quit satisfying to watch. She makes it look like a very natural movment. I could really tell the difference from when she was pulling VS when she was pushing. Pretty cool. Good stuff.
I learned through Starting Strength methods, and probably because I have no coach/teacher I had a lot of buttwink as you called it and it killed my lower back. The emphasis on "hip drive" in SS out of the bottom I think led me to assuming that stripper squat. Doing it this way makes more sense to me and when I tried it yesterday it made a huge difference in how I felt during and after squatting.
saw you rocking the fuck out to reptile at the palace.. i felt star struck man. how fucking dope was that show eh? you've been the biggest game changer in my lifts with your content. i've never felt more in control of the big three movements and have never felt safer. thanks bud. yyc love
This has actually helped me a lot. I find that I rely too much on my lower back to the point where it hurts after squatting heavy. Understanding how to properly brace, squeeze your butt, positioning your upper body and hips into a hinge, and keeping the form tight all the way down and back up is just the knowledge I needed to fix my form. I'll be doing this on my leg day to see how I can significantly improve my squats and finally stop this stupid chronic back pains I get from doing squats without proper form.
I have lower back issues from Squats & DL's as well. I'm going to have to record my lifts and work on these cues in the video. It's not easy that's for sure!
She's so technical. I wish she would have a longer explanation on the conventional dl. It's exactly what I'm having issues with currently. Using too much back in the pull and not enough push off the ground.
I found that standing on bands helps. Check out Larry wheels and his new banded deadlift video. I use a steel rod and a band to practice at home. Highly recommend. I've been doing this for a few months now and that video is the best way to explain it
I like the way Dave Tate explained this in a video. If you breath through your mouth first and then try to breath through your nose, you cannot get any more air in. If you breath through your nose first, you can actually get more air in through your mouth. Therefore, he says, you should always breath through your nose first. I personally feel like this doesn't matter that much if you start by breathing through your mouth, but it may actually help you brace better if you breath through your mouth after getting the maximum amount of air through your nose. This was very repetitive, sorry about that.
m kl yes. A lot of the time when you breath through the mouth too aggressively like Taylor Atwood you will see a shift in the upper back and it can change your positioning. Its not a big deal but if you want to nit pick breathing in through the nose will be slightly more consistent.
I believe it's to get more air. Take a big belly breath through your mouth, squeeze, keeping tension all the way into your jaw. and then breath through your nose to get a little more air.
Waifu goals!!!🤩😍 I try to get my angle set on the way down, but her way makes a more consistent back angle and brace. just setup and hold it. I extend at the ankle joint to get my hips back because otherwise if I at the top the bar is in front of midfoot. Am I alone here?

@Ernesto Jayson it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
,,My Deadlift was better‘‘. What a legend
this is exactly what i needed before squats today

NO STRIPPER SQUATS!
nice man all about progress 💓
Same here homie
Good tip, that hinge before going down is crucial for stability throughout the lift
"We don't want the stripper squat" is all I heard in this video! lol
"I want you to expand into my hands"
Ohhhh man I can't believe this one slipped under my nose hahaha
@@OpenBarGarage That's what she said too...
Lmao
😆

Super useful little ques. I didn't even know how or when I brace for the sumo. Can never be sufficiently self aware and intentional.

Let us know if it does please
Paused squats feeling like a million bucks.

Anyone else come here with a Craven for some squat tips?
i used to pull with over extended back and one thing helped me to pull with neutral spine is to look down on the floor when pulling
literally the perfect video! I've watched so many and had so many personal trainers but none of them helped me like this vid. Thank you!
Her conventional form is quit satisfying to watch. She makes it look like a very natural movment. I could really tell the difference from when she was pulling VS when she was pushing. Pretty cool. Good stuff.
WOOOOO Powerlifting Australia represent
i just put that in practice and felt a change in my squat instantly, thank you
Glad to hear it!

This is very helpful! Thank you both!

I think I need to focus on the hinge more since I have longer legs.
Great cues. Thank you both.
Awesome video - thanks bryce & Liz!
Can you do video about how to feel or using glutes during squat /DL??
great video. never seen someone take apart butt wink like that.
Im Walnuts great point! I always hear butt wink is bad but they never explain why it occurs.
2:50
Feel the glutes and brace at the same time.
Good tip
Very good and educational video, thank you!
I'm mostly here for the crawfish, but learning how to lift is a good plus.
Feeling the ground to push, that was a light bulb moment for me! thanks for the video !
Awesome to see Liz on the channel :)
Quality content, as always!
Those are some great cues, thanks very much
I tried this on my squat just now. And holy crap what a big difference! Unracking felt much lighter too! Thanks guys.
Great video, thankyou
Helpful as always
Could really see the difference in deadlift when arching back its pulling vs pushing floor away when done correctly
Thank you !
she's an amazing coach. for all the right reasons!
Any video on elbow positioning during squat?
She’s so tiny! Awesome video.
Tiny but mighty for sure
She is thicc in the right areas!
Good video. Would have been nice to see the side angle on the squat bracing and hinge.
Been waiting this since it was mentioned on the twitch streammmmm
Thank You! Great Tips!
Lol she is not much higher than the bar. Her hinge explanation helps me so thanks for having her on.
I think how I messed up my back was because I did a lil of the stripper squat. Great vid as always (y)
Great video !

Are there any advantages for breathing through the nose than the mouth for bracing?
m kl hold your breath the whole lift (valsalva maneuver)
I like the way Dave Tate explained this in a video.
If you breath through your mouth first and then try to breath through your nose, you cannot get any more air in. If you breath through your nose first, you can actually get more air in through your mouth. Therefore, he says, you should always breath through your nose first.

Great content
Excellent vid 🤓
What is exactly meant when she say's: "Expand in my hands."?
Contracting the core?
Or breath in to "expand" the core section?
Or both?
Thanks a lot ✌️
Its both, for a proper brace you need to tighten the core while you have a full breath
@@DavidGonzalez-sw5ex Thank you :)
5:06 guy in the background is huge
big fan of both of yaz!
Great stuff
Will this also apply to the bodybuilding hypertrophy workout high bar squat?
The angling in that thumbnail.
Pure gold
1:30 she mentions "breathe through your nose" is there a specific reason she said this ? I tried it and I get a different kind of brace
I believe it's to get more air. Take a big belly breath through your mouth, squeeze, keeping tension all the way into your jaw. and then breath through your nose to get a little more air.
excellent content....thanks. p.s. bring back paid reviews
Did she say we don’t want a “Stripper squat”? 😂😂😂
This was what the kabuki was telling all day.....
Yes! There are definitely other people saying the same things.
But matt wenning says....he says lower back curve is the key
THE HEAD ??? WHERE LOOK ???
Liz coached well by JP
Her squat was beautiful. Wow!
Merry Craven
Good
She really said stripper squat lol
man i love that she looks like a strong ass woman and not like a manwoman like the Roids users
damn shes so tiiiight
nice
Waifu goals!!!🤩😍

Thiccer by the week
haha expand into my hands =)
😍😍
Tall lifters me included ... smh
AwesomeAwesomeAwesomeAwesomeAwesomeAwesomeAwesomeAwesomeAwesomeAwesome
This was pretty awesome
The 3 bigs lifts are pretty easy when your bones are 7 inches long
Who said low bar squats don't break records. Proof right here. Lol
first!
not first
When her world record is your warm up 💀
She also weighs as much as one of my legs... I think her lifts are incredibly impressive.
Thumbs down for having a stupid thumbnail and it being in my feed.
So she squats literally 50% less than you bro and your taking her advice? Its magnanimous at best, let's get real
