    After three children, my hips have changed a ton but outside of not being able to go very deep in my squat, this was super helpful!

    Dude, I never leave comments but I'm so impressed with your technique. So much attention to detail and it makes sense! Specifically the "tighten the abs" tip. I always wondered about that. It never seemed right. I'm assuming for deadlift that "to tighten the abs" is somewhat of a flawed technique? Anyhow, outstanding video and very valid. We need more videos like this one on youtube.

I started with a very low weight and very slowly worked my way up.

    I haven't done any squat for 2 years because of my bad back and have been thinking of coming back slowly. This is the best squat guide I found in youtube. This will help a lot.

    • @LukeSly91
      @LukeSly91 2 роки тому

      Squatting is honestly not worth it you have a bad back. If its your only option for a leg compound movement then maybe, but start real light. There's just so many safer options out there that are equally effective if not moreso for overall leg development imo

    I used this video to effectively reduce my squat loading by 40 pounds. I've never been stronger in my core by doing pause squats. pyramid up for str x3 then x1 Million drop sets varying leg width. Being able to sit at the bottom at prospective weights greatly increased confidence. pause squats is so realistic too.... life just doesnt hand you weight.

  • @kasperkristholm1368

    @ 3:05 you say "In my experience I think the high bar squat protects the back more" ... causing stress to the lower back is not a bad thing, causing TOO MUCH stress is. Saying in a video that high bar protects the lower back creates unnecessary fear among your novice viewers... You should try not to label exercises as such, as it is simply incorrect.

  • @Sagemirei

    My boyfriend is 6’5”, 205lbs, and I squat so much heavier than him at 5’2” 110lbs. He also bought a barbell pad and uses it when doing squats much to my horror. (He won’t even try deadlifting-not even after I tried to explain to him its great for the back). When it comes down to it I know since he’s so tall that’s probably why it’s harder for him. I have enough quads for the both of us.

    Your video helped me with knee pain when squatting. I had good back position and form, but I wasn't able to get in the hole properly because my knee kept popping. When you explained consciously driving your knees forward towards your toes, it corrected whatever was happening in my knee. (Probably uncontrolled flaring in/out)
    So thank you my guy!

    I really love this video! It really helped me get down my squat form. However, I don't really like the queue to push your gut out against your belt. The best queue for core bracing that I've found, is Alan thrall's queue of imagining someone is about to punch you in the gut. You definitely brace in a very similar way. Other than that great video! Love from New Mexico.
