    I am disabled. If I go more than 200 feet, I need a wheelchair. There is damage to the muscle around my knees. I just squatted and got back up without falling or losing my balance for the first time in years. It's not in the knees or legs. It's in the back. Amazing. I wish I'd known the right way to do this years ago.

    the whole "Push up with your lower spine and look at the floor" technique works really well, your back stays naturally straight (not upright, just straight) and your feet automatically stay planted against the floor.

      @@ronnoreplays7949 low bar squat is probably superior in terms of making the most muscles stronger, and that is probably why starting strength has old people do it for general strength, and it also makes these minimalist programs like starting strength or stronglifts 5x5 way more effective with less weak spots made in your physique after completing the program. For example, if you high bar squat like Tom Platz and dont want to do the other 20 exercises he did for legs, you will have some glaring weak spots in places like the glutes and hammies

    Rippetoe taught me that everything my "power lifting" coach had taught me was complete bullshit. He "Fixed" my form issues in about 45 minutes. That was ten years ago and after a pretty devastating knee injury. Fast forward to today and I'm healthier because of low bar squats. I can go run and not worry about stability issues. My knees are strong because of what he taught me. Guy knows his shit.
    I also saw a stupid increase in my squat max in a 6 week period going to his gym.

      But the short answer is that people think their backs should be straight up and down when squatting. What Mark is saying is that actually the optimal back angle when low bar squatting is slightly more “horizontal” meaning leaning forward and hinging at the hips more.

      Emil652 Short version: he thinks Louie is wrong. However, much of what Rippetoe says doesn't make any biomechanical sense. "Your ass is what gets you up, but don't push hips forward." ...Umm, hello, hip extension shiftss your hips forward (or your torso upright, if there is no knee flexion). Knee extension moves your hips up, yet he hates on the quads as prime movers.
      This video reminds me of the quote about asking the race horse how he runs fast (don't do it). Mark is a strong guy, and he helps beginners get "started," but his language and instruction is totally imprecise and unscientific. Don't play this video over the grave of Mel Siff. Lastly, not that anyone has much reason to care about my recommendation, but Louie Simmons is a definitely a superior source for technique and guidance.

      @NSSTalks 8 років тому +19

      +jlushefski I actually think you're misunderstanding this. Rippetoe's explanation isn't biomechanically incorrect at all. The hip drive cue actually keeps the hamstrings and glutes active to perform hip extension are the correct moment. Th Louie Simmons shit he is talking about is Louie's technique that honestly is designed mostly for equipped lifting, not raw lifting.
      I will say that while I think Rippetoe's methods are great for teaching novices. Many of his teachings are very misunderstood. His hip drive cue is turned into shoot your hips up and goodmorning the weight which is just entirely wrong. I also disagree with Louie being a better source of information. He definitely has some very good information, and the conjugate system is quite interesting. That being said his methods are really best for equipped lifters. For non-novice lifters I'd actually advise people to look into Mike Tuchscherer, Mike Zourdos, Ben Esgro, etc.

    How to Low Bar Squat With Mark Rippetoe buff.ly/1JxcmJ9 Starting Strength

    • @darrenjacksonnet
      @darrenjacksonnet 9 років тому +1

      ***** Keep in mind that the angles aren't the same for everyone. We're all built a little differently so the angles will change from person to person.
      For example, if you have a longer back in relation to your legs your back angle in the squat will tend to be more upright and conversely if your back is shorter in relation to your legs the back angle will tend to be more horizontal.
      Regarding the hips moving forward... In this video the difference is very subtle and is hard to see but the difference in the two lifts (correct and incorrect) is maintaining the correct back angle. At the bottom of the squat, in order to correctly drive your hips up, you need to maintain the back angle as long as possible on the way up. On the movements where Rip was making corrections the back angle was immediately becoming more vertical as soon as the lifter was coming out of the hole.

    • @patmannyc
      @patmannyc 9 років тому

      ***** Watch Brett's form. He 'says' vertical because most people think you need to keep your back perpendicular to the floor to avoid back pain. Brett is at a 45 degree angle when he says he's good. And the same with the hips, your hips will naturally come forward but on that squat he corrected, you can see the hips come forward too early, putting too much strain on his back. It's hard ot pick up but keep an eye on his lower body and you'll catch it

    • @Jeneric81
      @Jeneric81 9 років тому

      ***** No, your back will be a bit more vertical due to the more forward bar placement and your eye gaze should appriopriately be a bit more forward. You can't really cue the hip drive which moves the bar in the low squat form shown in the video with high bar squats.

    Thanks, Brett - another great video (and good work with the squats)! Really enjoying this collaboration between you and Rip. One question, though: in "Starting Strength" and in his other video tutorials, Rippetoe has emphasized that low bar squats should be performed with straight wrists, i.e., with hands not bending forward or backward (for example, see this video at the 6 min mark: ua-cam.com/video/g2tyOLvArw0/v-deo.htmlm). Yet Rippetoe in your video didn't ask you to straighten your wrists. Did this subject come up during your session yet not make it into the final cut of the video? Thanks!

      @artofmanliness  9 років тому +30

      He did, but my shoulders and chest are so stinking inflexible that I couldn't get it. It was so bad he thought I may have had some sort of shoulder injury. So I put an annotation to a video where Mark shows proper wrist alignment in the video. My flexibility has gotten a bit better since than (that was over a month ago),but it's still pretty bad. I've actually had to stop doing low bar for now because I was getting pretty heavy (345lbs) and that much weight on your wrists gives you a serious case of golfer's elbow. So I'm doing front squats until I can get the shoulder and chest mobility to go back to the low bar.

    For those wondering, Rip says "driving your hips forward is the worst thing you can do" because you're not utilizing hip drive to get you out of the hole when you do that. Your hips go UP, not forwards. Up! Imagine as if you have a chain attached to the top of your butt, and someone pulls it up from a ladder - your hips go up! Hip draaahve gives your the most strength. Moving the hips forward instead of up makes you way weaker.

      90 degree upright position = strongest position. Anything further away from that is getting weaker. The more under the bar your hips are = the stronger your squat will be.
