![The Official Squat Form Checklist [Are You Squatting Wrong?]](/img/tr.png)
Interesting video. I feel like I naturally do these but I'll be more mindful of them next time I squat. I'm still trying to increase flexibility for solid form.
Have you heard of kneesovertoesguy? Some of his movements are geared toward flexibility in the hips and rest of the legs
You will be amazed how you might think you do but actually don't. I would suggest you record yourself and check.
@@10spots18 ooh nice I'll check him out.
@@mr.christopherdean6705 yeah that's a very good idea.
@@10spots18 I love telling people about him
Is that the same guy that had the bar bend on him?
Yes, Joe Sullivan.
Yes
@@MajingoPower nice.

Came in here to ask this exact question.
That’s a heavy duty squat! Salute 💪
I can tell instantly if the pick is right or not. Proper setup takes what feels like 30 pounds off the bar at least
I can't say it enough but your videos have helped me so much and I'm so grateful for your content. When people ask me about squatting I always mention your channel!
Makes a huge difference when you take your time. Use the stiffening of your core to lift the bar up really locks everything in.
He forgot to struggle
Underrated comment 💀
I’m guilty of this. Great video and advice .Thank you
Yep, I saw this in one of your other vids. Has helped me tremendously. Started lifting more efficiently 🙏💪👊👍🤝❤️💯😎
He's using the talon grip, pretty cool
Another key point… Treat your warm ups like your working sets. That way you don’t just prep physically but mentally for the working sets.
Been having to stretch, and foam roll like crazy to increase flexibility (years of stiffness).
Tried squatting with weight a while back ago.. almost vagal out (passed out). That breathing and core perfecting is so true…
:0
What the hell is that spotter gonna do when he lets up? 🤣
I can watch this over and over!
Thank you
Gonnna try this on my next leg day sesh, greay solid info and I've been powerbuilding for a while since about 8th grade amateur then seriously around freshman year and im barley 20 but i still have many things i can learn such as this and I'm surely gonna use this for the rest of my life even tho i have some experience already and alr prepare myself like that in my squat but want to utilize my core more as well as stance as the video suggests
One time someone was doing squats at same weight i do them at the rack, and there were no more racks left so i asked if i could jump in inbetween his sets, but since he was shorter than me he had the bar bit lower so when i took the weight out I did it with really bad form (with no straight back) and i became very dizzy, I still did my set while dizzy because i felt embarassed. after the set i couldnt breath properly and something was hurting in my chest, I still like an idiot did 2 more sets of 8 while almost collapsing, I had to open the window to get fresh air and couldnt stand up without leaning on something. A friend of mine who is a coach was at the gym and I told him he told me to go to the gyms owner he will do some back cracking and massage since he once had this happen to him too, the gym owner really helped me out there because I think that wouldve been a long lasting problem.
I think a lot of people who don't consistently lift heavy rush the setup when lifting light. I have definitely been guilty
Definitely bro I tweaked my back squatting 135lb after a month break from barbell squats, I rushed the set up and didint fully tense up before descending. Terrible pain for almost a week after. Smh!
Thanks great video
Thank you!
Why is she back there "spotting" though? Like what is she gonna do? You should just set the safety bars and get her out of there. This just looks like a good way for her to get hurt and hurt the lifter at the same time.
I'm thinking the same thing. Moral support if anything but physically I mean come on. If he bails and let's the barbell fall in front of him she can catch him if he falls backwards I guess. But seen too many videos of the bar falling behind the lifter and the spotter tries to catch the bar out of instinct, so unnecessary. Only other thing I can think of is if his knees gave out, quads snapped, or any other leg injury and he was trapped underneath the bar, she could potentially raise one end up and free him, which still doesn't require her to be in the squat rack 🤷
Agreed with both. I was thinking if he burns out earlier than expected, she could be the few extra pounds of lift that gets the weight up, but it also seems like she could unbalance him and make it worse.
She's a bad ass spotter
Can you do a video about tall folks and squatting (one for long legs...and one for long torso). Having problems getting to "90"
i always do this❤
I need to be more patient walking it back and forth but I do hold, breathe, and go down controlled when doing the lift itself. My flaw will hurt me when I go really heavy though lol
what a beast
Dude from stuart little really grew up
Glad to know I'm doing it right!
Is that Joe Sullivan? The one who had the bar bend in another video. Dude was like FUCK!🤣🤣🤣
Good word!
Perfect loop
Soon as it realised the guy was a cameraman the bear immediately bailed.
Wow that was a beautiful squat
Like every video this too is amazing 👍
Crazy how their 'dont do' example is crushing big weights too
What about knees over the toes?
I need that squat
Great Video. I clicked that subscribe button.
If you need help with the breathing techniques to brace your core, just replicate the face the guards are making when Pontius Pilate tells them about his friend biggus dickus. You can see Joe doing it right before descending..
I did your squat warm up and ankle mobility warm up. Felt amazing.
But I had the best set right after I snapped at 3x 20 year old kids for fat shaming a girl at the gym.
My heavy squats felt so light after almost slapping those fools. 😂😂
Moral of story. Don’t leave headphones at home
Pardon my ignorance, is this the badass who bent the bar as he did a heavy ass squat?
I changed gyms 2 times and non of them had squat racks just smith machine and I don't like smith machine bc how awkward it feels
Man needs a bigger spotter for that weight
No need for a spotter if you have safety bars like he does. Imagine that weight falling on you if he drops it back.
That dude can sqwatttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Help me i have 2 shoulders that are messed up, left one is in constant pain and cracks with any movement and can get locked up and i have to undo the movement that locked the arm to fix it, and my right shoulder has a point where it will physically jump a section in my muscles where its idk but i can't make a full rotation with it and when i hit that jump in my mobility its painful as hell, and because of the left shoulder being out of place its effecting my neck now and is pinching nerves on the top of my spine and because of the pinching in my spine the bottom of my spine is being pinched and my hips are being effected by the lower spine and making them have serious pressure all the time so i have to crack my back but by cracking my back its hurting my spine which made the middle of my spine extremely weak i can't lift a empty plate without feeling seriously crushing in the middle of my spine and it hurts so much, i am 17 years old this shouldn't be happening to me yet this is a cry for help doctors don't know what is wrong with me a chiropractor made everything worse and all i hear from everyone is we can't help you, someone who has any possible idea or know anyone who might please help me im in so much pain always
What's the role of the person behind?
I honestly have trouble breathing when I do sets of 10+, it's like trying to keep the stiffness prevents me from getting a decent inhale.
I would definitely avoid doing sets of 10+ with squats just because to do it properly requires so much energy. Unless you’re doing really light weights for conditioning or for form, I’d stick to around 6-8.
I’ve tried doing large volume sets of 225, with 15-20 reps, and it really just made me tired and hurt my hips.
@@shalizzle793 i wasn't sure whether to train like that but honestly I'm only interested in the strength aspect so it makes sense to not go past 8 reps!
How many reps did he do? That weight was flying at a ridiculous pace
A slower descent, while potentially safer, does mean the stretch reflex will be decreased and therefore, your overall squatting ability will be lower than with a fast descent will it not?
true, but most people lose tension when they descent too fast leading to form breakdown. from what i see powerlifters do slow controlled descent but olympic weightlifters do fast descent and squat upright cause probably carries over to other lifts
Yes, you will lose some weight but it'll reveal your true squat strength and definitely more optimal in training to reduce the chance of injury and increase your legit strength. I used to bounce and I could do so much more weight and now that I go down slow and pause at the bottom I'm pushing much less weight daily but my pr numbers have skyrocketed.
Higher the weight, the more prone you are to tearing something. Athletes squatting this amount of weight ABSOLUTELY need to control their decent.
When the weight gets heavy I find it impossible to have a fast descent. Maybe you have to go kind of slow to push with your full strength.
I think there's a balance here between speed and the amount of stiffness you can maintain. like bouncing to the bottom might give the biggest stretch reflex, but it's not really doable to keep your core and actually your entire body under proper tension while you do that. Maybe for some people this works but if i look at all the top powerlifters, they almost exclusively have a slower descent.
If your not lifting heavyest needs arnt as needed.
How much is that 6-700? 45 plates
My biggest tip is to put more weight on than you can lift, but instead of failing to lift it, just lift it.
Unracking your squat can make it break it
Yea of course you want slow and control when you got a couch on your back!!
I just hurt my back, making this exact mistake.
Just curious, is there anything wrong with having feet offset in lift off? I had always lifted off with squared feet as in video, but lately I started using slightly offset feet and found it saved energy and made walkout more effortless as my feet are already set to take a step back. Always seems the first step is slightly awkward requires more effort to balance when I use a squared stance.
As long as you're getting your hips under the bar and bracing before you take the weight out of the rack, I can't think of a reason why it would be dangerous to do that. If it feels good and saves you energy, that's a pretty good indication that whatever you're doing is pretty ergonomic
I would be worried about taking heavier weight out that way, since you're not as supported as you could on the unrack
Is that the guy who almost got trapped under the squad bar
Talk to Ilya Ilyin
Isn't it that the same guy who got in trouble when bench got bended 😂
Isnt that the guy whos bar bent during a squat
Yea but thats like 2x the weight the other guy was moving. Of course im gonna brace harder for a 700lb squat vs 300lb squat dude
Don't matter what it is. It Applies to squatting in general.
@@HNiCDuke thats my problem. I dont like "general" bland shorts
@@GrandpaDon69 instead of comparing the weights, you should compare the rpe of the individual.
Look at this dude's hand on the bar. Kinda unique huh?
As a dedicated powerlifting girl, I would not be comfortable spotting that, why is his spotter a girl, that weight will crush them both equally if he drops or cant lift it, shes praying to Hasbulla Magomedov hes got that sh1t the whole way LOL😂
So the first guy did a squat but wait this next guy also did a squat
What the girl gonna do if he needs a spot tho?
Is there utility in being able to lift this much? Or is it just an ego thing?
Why is he looking down??
First kid did perfectly fine
Just use an incline press and save your back altogether
Hnm
Dude, wtf are you doing with a girl spotting you with a bar loaded with anything greater than 300lbs???
Oh wait I get it 🤣
Step 1: don’t have long legs.
…and his belt is in wrong AND his feet are too close together. No wonder this clown 🤡 has knee wraps on. Smh
This cannot be healthy. That amount of weight.
Cringe shirt
Dudes so Strong but, look completely Average?!🤣
He’s pretty tanky looking
Everyone at the gym is gonna be mad if you take this much time to do 2 reps
I imagine they'd be much more understanding when they see 6.5 plates on each side
Other way to preserve your spine and knees: don't do weighted squats and do other safer, more focused exercises instead
Is it me or does the guy look like he’s leaning forward just a bit too much?
Its more impressive to use your brain for something.
Then he looks down breaking his spine alignment.
His spine looks pretty good to me bro. If you aren't getting neck pain or losing balance or rounding your back because of your head position, how can you say it's wrong? Maybe that's where he feels most comfortable
No, this is completely unnecessary for a "great squat". Unless you're just jerking the bar off the rack like a caveman and dipping down without bracing. When you unrack make sure you're balanced, maintain good technique when you squat and make sure you're braced throughout the entire lift. If you're not a complete beginner, you're already doing this.
You must still be a complete beginner if you don't think this matters.
The video literally tells you how to brace correctly
this is literally exactly what you have to do, if you already know then why are you complaining and still saying the same thing as the video, just dumber and more arrogantly? lol
mann you dont understand. wiggling your hips during the un racking of the bar bell onto you will hurt your lower back. you want to lift until your muscles are fatigued and not your back. and i have seen many people do this who have been squating for years. not everyone's lift is perfect
@@hassanalialqadiri people can squat however the fuck they want
