The debate is over, this man was first
Wtf 1 month ago!😂
Time stamp time traveler.
How?
@@TheGandulla probably because the video was privte and only accesable for the ones with a link. Until now
Googled "Jacked Koreans going deep" and wound up here.
Not disappointed.
Nice
You gave me a good chuckle.
Good stuff.
Suss
Lmao
"You're not here to just get reps. You're here to tax the musculature and reps are just the measurement" this has to be the greatest line ever said in any fitness UA-cam video
Yeah it was well put, I guess right analogy would be to say that "reps are there to measure distance, with every set you're supposed to travel a certain a distance, say 10 centimeters and each rep is a centimeter, a shit rep will be .2 of a centimeter, do the full distance, not a fifth of it"
I opened the comments just as he was saying that (10:12)
Spooky
second best quote was "Go ahead charlie..show us a cluster fuck!" 😂 made me shit my brains out from laughter
@@leomariano2735YO WTF THIS HAPPENED TO ME JUST NOW!!!!
@@leomariano2735dude ain't no way this happened to you 8 months ago!!!!! And it happened to me just now
"breath out when going down"
Calling out Athlean-X like that lol
Damn, and I'm getting in even more air on the way...
Well the dude did ruin his knees squatting sooo perhaps not the best coach on that particular exercise!
More people need to call out that fraud✊🏻
Athlean can squat a lot....
a lot of fake plates
😭😭😭
I would probably drop the bar from laughing at his comedic delivery.
I love how he says "That's all we have for you today" after giving a masterclass on squatting, kinesiology, stand-up comedy and Korean flexology! Simply the most intellectually scientifically accurate, smart ass, mentor, guru, Grandmaster of training competency! Thank you sir yet again!
I like how Charlie struggles to hold his laugh when Mike goes off on one of his tangents
I've noticed that on other vids too
@Vinny Booboo lol

@@calebpatten151 15:15. enjoy
Average toon enjoyer
I'm 6'4" with really long femurs and a short torso. All this time people have been telling me not to let my knees go past/over my toes, and it always felt wrong stopping that from happening.
As soon as I adopted a *slightly* wider stance and let my knees travel a bit farther, I felt way more stable and got better depth.
So many people are giving terrible advice on lifting form that’s either based on pure ignorance or their own personal geometry that may not be applicable. It took me years of studying real knowledgeable lifters to untrain bad habits that had been taught to me by hs football coaches. And I was at an elite football program where you would have thought they’d know something, but naw.
Most of the people are fucking morons. Black people, asian people, white people, man, woman, big guys, small guys, most are not so clever. At my gym there are 2 "giant gym bros" who are really big! But they're also the ones who like to "jump at people" and "give advise", which is mostly shit.
3 "advies" I got from them that were totally fucking terrible
LOCK YOUR BACK AND DON'T OVEREXTEND WHEN ROWING! Right, so essentially they told me to put my shoulder blades together and shorten the range of motion as much as possible when doing any sort of pulling/rowing, great one. Good one, right?
DO A LOW BAR SQUAT INSTEAD OF HIGH BAR! YOU CAN PUT MORE WEIGHT! I knew it was wrong for some reason, I didn't know why, now I watched the video, now we both know.
DO NOT USE THE PUSSY PAD (mentioned in the video 'bar condom') Do I have to explain? They were dead serious about it.
Yep, 6'3 and same here, the slightly wider stance was a godsend
You can always keep a narrower stance on leg presses and front squats for more direct quad activation if that is an issue
"All this time people have been telling me not to let my knees go past/over my toes"
Yeah, that's dangerous misinformation and can cause serious problems.
And I'm 5'6 with poor hip mobility, but yes, feet slightly wider than shoulder width and pointed out and I squat ATG.
I'm not particularly tall, but long limbed and this type of advice is very helpful. Widening the stance helped keep me upright and made my squat in general feel much better.
This was awesome. I've never even thought that I could be over-bracing for hypertrophy sets.
Yup just realized I’ve been having the same problem
Yeah i realized recently that i always run out of breath for 10 rep sets because i overbrace
Same, but now it makes so much sense to me that I'm winded at 10 reps pretty much regardless of weight.
Same. It’s so exhausting.
This Charlie guy is absolutely massive Jesus
Did you see his traps at 13:39 good lord
He’s really not
@@habbaticchio2468 He is lol, I'm betting he makes you look like a twig.
@@habbaticchio2468 Here comes captain body dysmorphia.
@@xenocross5129 there's always that one guy, am I right?
There is this new wave of no bs good advice. Thanks for leading the charge with this channel. It's truly helpful stuff thumbs 👍
"You're going to get fucked up beyond all recognition, it's going to be awesome."
As someone that learned how to low bar squat from Mike for powerlifting, it hurts my heart a little bit to hear him say "we're not here to do that". I miss powerlifting Mike!
"Breathe out when squatting" LMAO! I think I know a guy who says that ;)
You should also do half reps when you bench!
Lol, he must be pretty weak xD
Mistake #16: Not using real plates
Same guy that conjectures off of scientific principles while leaning on the credibility of his degree and demonstrating with 100% real weights? Yeah I vaugly remember him
@@PendlayRoe yes
So excited that this video dropped! Still watching... and LOVING it!
Thank you, Dr. Mike, this is fantastic!
Really well-rounded, I mean, stable and inFORMative video on squatting.
What a fount of knowledge! Thanks for sharing it with us, Mike!
Thanks as always, Mike
Awesome tips fellas. Always learning something new. Keep crushing it.
Great information and presentation - thank you!
Awesome content! 15 pieces of gold.
So much work went into this! Awesome!
This is by far the best squat video form and advice i have ever seen on youtube, period
Thank you so much for these advices 🙏🏻!
I was literally thinking how great it would be if you guys made a technique video about the squat just the other day.Thanks mind reader Mike!
Great video, particularly on adjusting stance to suit anthropometric differences. This is the way.
A great vid Dr. Mike. Thanks for this.
Loved! Thank you!!
My favorite squat video! Great explainations and great demonstration, tip top video!
The one we’ve all been waiting for!
Thank you so much for this video! 🙏🏼
Man, you recommendation to NOT overbrace was absolutely game changing for me, ive been going to the gym for a month now and I've always dreaded doing squats because i would get so tired doing just 5 reps, i tried not overdo the bracing today and i could easily lift 10+ reps with that same weight. THANK YOU!
I have learned loads from this, thanks so much.
Extremely helpful video thank you so much.
I really like, you take in account that not everybody is the same, 'for some this, for some that". It's these details that gives confidence and trust in your info
This is so informative. I am so mad I didn't find your channel sooner. As I found out I have been overbracing this whole time and at the end of a set my shoulders and neck was on fire and my legs not so much. Thanks guys :)
Thanks for the awesome video!
Great information,
Thank you
Perfect video, covering all bases.
These explanations are amazing ty
This is awesome, thank you so much 💯
Love the tips, thanks 👍
I’ve needed this video since this series started. My squat looks exactly like the wrong form in the thumbnail and I didn’t even know where to begin fixing it
I actually just started pointing my toes further out after noticing how far pointed out Charlie's are, and I gotta say, feels a lot better than whatever I was doing, not just in muscle activation, but it solved my knee issues. Time to watch more videos on the channel!
I remember in college a decade ago getting ridiculed by exercise science majors about needing to point forward. I ended up doing it and after years discovered I was right. Fuckers lol
Yes Dr Mike with another excellent technique video!!👏💪😎
Great video, thank you.
You're the man, Mike. Cheers
I cried when I saw that the bar didn’t touch his shoulders
You are a legend Mike! Thank you!
Thanks for your advice! This video was Awesome
Amazing video! A tonne of info and banter! 😂👏🏻👏🏻thank you!
Love this. Good advice
thank you thank you dr mike
i squats high bar sometimes with good form but your videos help me to master movments love you RP
I love the vids, and I feel like I'm learning a lot. and you crack me up. very entertaining.
Excellent! Thanks bro
Thanks for the advice
Talking about where to look, does anyone else stare deep into there own soul in the mirror as they squat?
Came here for squatting knowledge after seeing Charlie's quads in the thumbnail. Holy crap the knowledge from Mike is incredible. I've watched (like many of us here) thousands of videos and this guy Mike (my new fave) is a brainiac (and funny to boot). Subscribed!
Great video, thanks
Top-notch informative video.
You've made my day. Definitely had a clusterfudge day at the gym today. I'm looking forward to not feeling like a failure and kicking my own butt. Thank you Mike. 💜💜💜🤗😚
it's an old video so probably author will not see this but i just wanted to tell that u making great content with lots of useful and helpful information and a friendly entertaining atmosphere at the same time. thank u)
Great video thank you
OMG!!! those tips are amazing
I'm learning a lot from these videos. But I'm a bit surprised you didn't suggest placing weight plates or something else under the heels for those of us with extremely inflexible ankles who struggle to get a range of motion sufficient for stimulating the quads. I mean a wider stance can definitely help you get deeper, but the wider you go, the more you shift the emphasis away from the quads and towards your adductors, so that might not be the solution for folks who have to go super wide just to squat parallel to the ground.
I been watching your show for sometime now and using your tips has helped me a lot. I got a plate and pins in my tibia and fibia and knee cap replacement (15years ago)and I'm squatting over 100kg I can't drop the whole way my knee doesn't move that far but I have gained so much rom from your videos I do recommend you as my doctor thank you. Every thing hurts oh mate that's life. Can we get a video on strengthening lower romboids please ✌
One of the best videos ever about squats.
Great video, i identified at least 10 mistakes in my technique.
this is the most useful chanel on youtube for lifting honestly
Thank you!!
I agree with the bracing taking systemic energy. Some HIIT training helps a bit with cardio, but I still get out of breathe from 5 reps.
Thank you for the tip on bracing.
Great video
This is so refreshing after decades of being told not to let my knees go beyond my toes, and to keep my feet shoulder width apart at all times. I am one of those people who has a very short torso and abnormally long femurs. Keeping my feet “shoulder width apart” in any exercise has never felt natural to me. I’m so glad to finally know why now! And relieved to not have to place myself in that position automatically anymore.
So much goodness here. Thanks
Love Charlie's reaction!!
Thanks!
Knee and lower back problems. Too heavy on the leg press and lots of things doing wrong on the squat like low bar, too heavy, tipping forward and going to deep and round my back. Great video, valuable lesson 👌
excellent video!
Nothing beats a big strong man saying “tippy-toes”
I loved this video. It crystallized everything for me❣
No

Dr Mike is changing my life
Excellent video
wow. So informative and practical. No sugar coating presentation. This channel is really for serious weight lifter
What's there to sugarcoat? It's all positive advice
helped alot thanks
Good looking out on the squat video Mike. You boul’s be getting busy in the gym!
Great video.
Wow. Great stuff
Your so good at this shit Dr Mike I love it.
Thanks for making my day - you are so funny! Subscribed :D and happy
9:32 I’ve recently been getting back into barbell squats because I used to get mid back pain. After seeing videos about core bracing, I’ve been applying it and haven’t been experiencing any back pain since. The problem now is that I find myself getting winded while my legs still have reps in the tank. I never knew that over-bracing was even a thing so thank you! Definitely gonna try this next leg day😊
Thanks for all the great content! Could you make a video on sumo squats?
LOL Israetel you're such a fucking G. Explain the research-backed application in a simple, coherent way. While being hilarious and not taking yourself too seriously. A way of being we can all aspire to adopt. Great content
Can we get some blooper reels? Lol
Exactly what I am looking for
That's a great idea, I was thinking the same thing ☺️👍🏼
8:14 Over bracing
9:35 Uncontrolled eccentric
10:46 No Standardized ROM - each rep should be similar or the same. Standardize your performance.
12:24 Low bar for growth - High bar is better for hypertrophy
16:40 Stance Width - find a stance where you can feel the quads the most as this will help them grow. Also see 22:30.
Been over bracing for a while
Thanks Mike
Damn! Just came back from my squat training session and saw this vid!
Amazing video
"What are those" 😆 i love Mike's commentary
