I can't tell you how much the squat rack intimidates me haha. I also love how you said it's more impressive for someone to squat fewer lbs with perfect form than a ton of lbs with bad form. I have to get over my fear of embarrassing myself because I can't lift as much haha. Thank you for making this video!
I just started squatting at the rack today and I'm alrdy noticing a few mistakes I made that were pointed out in the video lool. Thanks for the detailed info it's very helpful!!
You're the only one who's actually explained everything in amazing detail thank you so much! you gave me motivation to go to the gym because I've done these, but im never balanced with the barbell
Girl I've been looking for videos like this and yours are the first ones that actually make me feel like I can do this! The way you break down every step is exactly what I need. Thank you so much for what you do. You're helping so many people.
This was so incredibly helpful! I want to start lifting, but I'm super anxious when I don't know what to expect. Seeing you explain everything from the VERY beginning has been great! Thank you!
I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B
I really appreciate all the attention and detail put into showing all angles of the machine, things us beginners wouldn't have even considered understanding before it is too late!
Started powerlifting 6 weeks ago and grown a massive love for it. Although the squat is my worst lift and my most dreaded so far. Thankyou for this video, you made everything so clear. I was practising my form today but another lesson tomorrow so will definitely be watching my form closely. I am more of a low bar lifter as it feels alot more comfortable and getting my depth right also is requiring alot more work.
I'm so glad I found you. I'm sure you have saved me from incorrect form and neck issues. I see people at the gym doing the stuff you said not to, and I had no idea it was wrong. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
This is so helpful, thank you Naomi! I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel! You seem so down to earth and actually care about health and safety as opposed to just being a perfect looking aesthetic gym youtuber. Your videos are so descriptive! I’m way less afraid of the squat rack now… tmrw I will try it for the first time in my 2 month gym journey. I’m ready to do a BIG leg day thanks to you! 🤍✨
Thank you so so much for actually explaining literally everything. People take for granted how machines/workouts can seem so new and so so intimidating
Watching this actually gives me the motivation to try this machine out!! I just started out at the gym. Thankyou so much for making these kind of videos 💗
Am so glad that I found your channel, got back to working out again almost a month now I’ve been doing squat but didn’t do it the right way I was making my hands too wide, but after watching your video and going to the gym today it was much easier for me. The difficulties I faced was getting up I felt too much tension but today it was so much easier. Thanks a lot this video was very helpful.
Thank you so much ! I was struggling with my form and using the rack , I’ll give it another go tmrw at the gym , I was ready to give up before this video xxx
Wow! This was so incredibly helpful! Really well done video. I loved the pointers with text highlighting key points with arrows. And the overview of bad form, things to avoid. Thank you so much for making this video!
I really like it that you don't make anyone feel like they should be ashamed when they don't have the best form. You showed what a bad form looks like, but still kept serious. I like that :)
This video is perfect. Thank you so much. I’m super nervous to start because I’ve never touched that side of the gym but I’m going to muster the courage to.
I’m just getting back into lifting after a couple of years and this was super helpful review! I’ll definitely keep these tips in mind the next time I snag a squat rack 🙂
I wanted to learn the basics before I start using the squat rack. Thank you soo much, your video was perfect! I learned a lot and the way you explained everything was great! I appreciate you taking the time to explain all the details, right and wrong.
Thank you so much ... today I had the courage to actually left weight and use squat rack .... I felt like those girls I used to watch and dream of doing what they do .. although I asked a trainer to check my pose and if I'm doing it right but still you gave me the courage to try in the first place...Thank you so much for your videos ❤
I rarely comment but just want to say wow thank you for this!! I’ve never lifted bc im too scared to use such heavy weights and nor know what i’m doing. This video was extremely informational and easy to understand. You got an immediate subscriber!
OMG! 😭🙌🏼 I just found your channel and I have to say I absolutely love it! Especially how thorough you are in the details you give about your workouts and i just love the little tips you throw in there!!! Thank-you!!! 🙌🏼 I'm such a tiny girl that I'm always so worried to try this at the gym because I couldn't find a detailed enough video about form and how to properly position it for myself but yours was broken down perfectly thank you! I can't wait to try this tonight!! 🙌🏼😭💖
Thanks for the detailed teaching and showing us all the little reminders one by one and step by step ❤🎉all questions answered now for me ! Thanks a lot for your amazing teaching !
Awh, yay! So happy for and proud of you! 🤩🎉 Feel free to DM me on Instagram (@naomi.kong) with any fitness-related questions you have! Here to help. 🙌🏼
Thank you for this video!! I read an article on using a squat rack but felt like I needed to see someone do it to look at the form! I'm already pretty athletic, but I've never used a squat rack. But I impressed myself by managing to do a full set at bodyweight! And I *think* my form was good, but after this video I know for certain what to watch for!!
I love your videos !! How you explain everything so in depth and the little words on the screen thank you girl the gym would scare me because I didn’t know how to use anything
I remember my first time trying to to squat w the barbell only. It was heavy asf and I could barely move, so I put it right back 😭. That was like 2-3 months ago, and I haven’t done a barbell squat ever since. I stuck to the leg press machine, and can now do 130 kg for 6 reps on the leg press machine. I think I’m strong and confident enough to try to barbell squat again. Ahhh I’ll do it tomorrow. Wish me luck bestiesss 😭😩
Omg this is the best video ever! Thank you sooo much. I have been wanting to use the rack for so long and didn’t wanna look like a noob. Also the tip to not use the foam roll bc you’ll look like one was priceless 🤣🙌🏼 gonna try at my gym later today🤓
Thank you for teaching me how to use the squat rack. I was so scared and then I went in to one of the side rooms with a squat rack and I did it! Only squatted with just the bar but next time I think ill do 2 5s and see how I do :) made my whole day
I love these informative videos! After watching your video about the cable machine, I started using it and now use almost every time I go to the gym 😂 it’s just so versatile I love it. After watching this video I think I might wanna try the squat rack at my gym ☺️ but I need to go during a time when it’s empty so I can play around with it for a bit. But anyways thnx for making these videos! They’re so helpful ☺️☺️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I spent a good while trying to figure out the squat rack at the gym today but then gave up bc i was so embarrassed not knowing what to do.
Great video, very informative. I’ve set a goal to learn more about weightlifting and set goals for a squat, deadlift, and bench press. I’m most nervous about the squat and this video had a lot of info that will help me be more confident.
gym just opened up again! i used to just use simple machines but i wanna get stronger so ty ❤️ also i'm so sorry you had to do those incorrect squats on your neck hip they didn't hurt too much😬

So happy to be of help! Thank you! 🥰🙏🏼
Righttt
And yet, she still demonstrates improper technique.
@@kurtschulten5369 In what way? 🤔

GOOD JOB
Slayyyyyyyy 🔥
YOU DROPPED THIS 👑 BRUDDER
I’m still too scared to use it haha I’m all smith machine
Was it difficult at all? I’ve never used one before and I really want to build my glutes but I’m afraid I’ll look like a skinny chicken 😅
As someone who hates asking questions at the gym THANK YOU
Hope you been making great progress now too!

Hope your squats have been progression well. Have has it been going?
Wow today I realized I’m not even putting the barbell itself in the right spot, I’m so glad I found you’re video, thank u
1) knees shouldn't be going passed the toes, can cause knee injuries.
2) look up not down when squatting. Helps keep spine neutral.
Knees CAN go over toes
@@poop917 most definitely should not
Great tutorial. Thank you!
