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.
Can we just take a second to appreciate how the man explained the 3 common mistakes by demonstrating them with a 225 and talking at the same time?!! Salute you sir 🫡
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.
@@Hast91 Yes it happens because i do squats high bar. Low bar works without pain but usually my back is too tired because I put alot of work into my deadlifts. So I have only myself to blame.
I can just hear Rip, "This guy is 7'2" and 185lbs so he's gunna need to put on a bunch of weight. He needs to pack on at least another 200lbs for his height."
How much weight should I use in a pause squat, my current max squat is 233, i'm 62, 5'9" 180, don't sleep enough, don't eat enough and drink too much, thanks for the help
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?
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

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.

no
@@prestongervais thank you
Any able bodied person who’s been squatting for over 3-6 months could do that.
I thought the same thing hahaha
@@brutus007 the point is most demonstrations are usually 135 or less
Excellent demonstration

Thanks for the tips!
I finally got a coach and this!
I do pause squats exclusively because the regular squat rebound are painful for my knees. Love them and hate them.
That might be caused by wrong rebound coming from the knees and not the hip.

@@Hast91 it probably is , could also be toes aren’t pointed out and the abductors aren’t firing enough for stability imo that can cause some pain
@@henriksvensson126 mark rippetoe squat form… I recommend it
I was waiting for Rip to come into frame and scream "that's not in the book, this isn't Westside"
I can just hear Rip, "This guy is 7'2" and 185lbs so he's gunna need to put on a bunch of weight. He needs to pack on at least another 200lbs for his height."
Rip would say, "a SS Head Coach should be squatting at least 500 lbs, the guy needs to drink a gallon a day! "
Would pause squats be beneficial for an advanced lifter, With flawless technique ?
Is that Velcro on your plates?

Is there a % of max you recommend using for the pause squat reps that increases the value you get from doing the pause?
Excellent hip Draaahhvvveee
Good tips , the finger without grip gives me elbows pain 😢
@3:12 They have pads on the plates because of the noise ...
Why midfoot?

Is this bad?
Yes. Squatting the way you describe messes up the mechanics of the squat
How about adding a box?
Then that would be a box squat.
Just did lower weight pause sqt and feel mad sore

Rip specifically says on starting strength you should bounce off the bottom
This video is to help with people that have common mistakes
It’s a variation that you can add on top of your regular squats to increase explosiveness out of the bottom position
so did you watch and listen to the video? After you've used the paused squats to fix the discussed problems you obviously go back to the usual squats
He likes people to be fat and injured 😂
Why is the bar so low?
It's low bar hunny
@@0vermars520 😂
I don't know why he has that chin up bar on that rack, he's never gonna use it.
👍😎
I do not believe what I'm seeing. Where tf is RIp?
Palace coup, i'm thinking.
@@ministryofanti-feminism1493 The next thing you know the coaches will start using demos with SBS!
