    1. Quads locked
    2. Feet Pressing
    3. Glutes Locked
    4. Grip squeezed.
    5. Shoulder pinned back
    6. Chest broad/Head up.
    I'm memorizing these! Thanks Brendan

    One of the best things I did for my squat was take my setup and pick extremely serious. When the pick feels light and solid you know the squat is gonna be lit!

    Thx for the cue tip, I always thought I was supposed to keep my head neutral when low bar squatting, extending my neck and keeping my chest high makes the lift feel way more secure, much appreciated

    This is an excellent video. I think this is must watch for anyone squatting. Thank you, @Brendan Tietz, for creating this. Yes, I would love to see a similar video for all the three remaining lifts (Deadlift, Bench Press, and Press). I have taken notes and will definitely incorporate these cues in my next workout.

    Ribs down is the favoured queue of all the compression/expansion gurus out there. Aka the 16% bill Hartman fanboys…
    It really confused me because I could never keep a tight upper back using that Q.

  • @ivancampanodiaz
    @ivancampanodiaz Місяць тому

    I would imagine one of your best tips por deadlifting is "pull your shoulder blades up together in a retracted position because the bar is gonna try to pull them down in a protracted position". Just like "trying to stay tall" when having the bar on your back, that's just inefficient and energy-wasting.
    But as any other tip, if it works for you and makes you lift more, then it's ok I guess.

    • @BrendanTietz
      @BrendanTietz  Місяць тому

      I advise against that deadlift cue because it decreases arm length and thus increases range of motion. You’re creating a false equivalency between two distinct biomechanical situations. The spine being compressed decreases available neural activity. This is why when you are alerted by a very alarming sound while at rest the first thing you do is extend your spine. There’s plentiful scientific data available on this in the cognitive science and neuroscience realms. I’d encourage looking into the spine and how neural activity works. Beyond that there is the obvious disadvantage of lung capacity and distribution of tension. Any physical system supporting load, whether biological or structural, is subject to tension distribution. This is why bridges are designed in ways that you don’t displace inordinate amounts of tension into one area. The torso is the conduit of force transfer which channels the counterforce energy from the legs into the bar. Without a strong center less force gets transferred and you risk collapse. The problem here is the fitness community refuses to look at simplistic scientific literature outside of the realm of exercise science to understand basic physics or energy. I’d encourage you to expand your scope because you’re wrong both about your initial assumption as well as your belief system built on only an idea of energy conservation while denying physics and neuroscience.

    • @ivancampanodiaz
      @ivancampanodiaz Місяць тому

      @@BrendanTietz I’m glad that you don’t advise that in the deadlift. I only mentioned that cue cause it apparently follows the same logic you’re applying to the idea of “working against compression”.
      Regarding the data on how spine extension activates when in danger and therefore that means you’re stronger, as far as I know, that gesture is just a reflex of how we (and animals nowadays) used to check if anything dangerous is approaching us, cause standing tall makes a clearer view of the surroundings.
      So, in a squat, extending the spine creates more space between the legs and hips to the bar, which results in less brace capacity in the core, more torque on the back (almost like in a high bar), and less stability (which obviously is gonna negatively impact force transfer) cause you’re not allowing every muscle to shorten as much as it needs, therefore not creating as much stability as possible.
      Of course I’m not saying you should anteriorly crunch your torso as much as you can, I agree that creating tension in the back extensors in order to fight the chest fall is good, but not by making the back “longer”.

    • @BrendanTietz
      @BrendanTietz  Місяць тому

      “As far as I know” is your problem with this reply. You’re self admitting you don’t know. There’s a plethora of research, go read it. Specifically out of Toronto’s university.
