    I had to watch the video twice. First time I got distracted by how awesome the gym in the background looks. That has to be the coolest commercial gym I've seen, ever.

    When I started doing these, I began feeling the squat way more in my glutes. Try it out, guys and gals, you won’t regret it.

    I spent some time working on healthy depth by squatting down to lightly touching the pins and pausing just above. I started with the lowest depth at which I could maintain good position, and gradually increased depth to below parallel.

    I do pause squats exclusively because the regular squat rebound are painful for my knees. Love them and hate them.

    • @Hast91
      @Hast91 Рік тому +2

      That might be caused by wrong rebound coming from the knees and not the hip.

      So I have only myself to blame.

    Why midfoot?
    I train for combat sports abd prefer to squat with my heels light, sometimes in a split stance (fighting stance), and explode up.
    Is this bad?

      Yes. Squatting the way you describe messes up the mechanics of the squat

    I’m still not the biggest fan of the knees out part. It just doesn’t work that well for me - as a tall guy. I feel like I lose my quad and hamstring power for the push.
    I know it’s about hip drive, but I’ve always been able to get a better rep with more weight without so much hip draahve emphasis
