Easily one of the best squat videos on UA-cam that I’ve seen
Wow, thank you so much!
Amen
Allan thrall got replaced with this red beard dude lmao
Best tip: "Create a beefier meat shelf." --Adam Fangman @ 3:18
Right on time... Have Squat workout planned today.. Big fan of starting Strength..
Every workout should have squats! If you follow starting strength. Squat more....
Holy shit! Where have these little gold tidbits of advice been hiding all these years???? My friend you just revolutionized my squat. 🙏💥
Thanks for the video! I've been struggling with my squat and you addressed my issues. Really like the explanation of possible mistakes and the remedy for each of them. You addressed the squat in a different way from other videos. It shows a good preparation and execution. You kept it just a bit over10 mins. I like the humour at the beginning, but was a bit long. Would love to see a video on power clean.
I'm fairly positive you just made my squat a real squat and not whatever the hell I've been doing. The jump/landing thing blew my mind. Thanks a million
Dude this comment made me laugh so hard 🤣 "whatever the hell I've been doing". Gold
5:19 - In my experience, this small change can also fix the somewhat rare, but very real problem of anterior hip flexor/groin pain that some people get. This can be caused by overextending the lumbar and tilting the pelvis forward (anterior pelvic tilt), causing a bunching up of tendons and ligaments around the femoral head, causing the femoral head to not glide smoothly within the acetabulum (which is why people who get this pain often think it's hip impingement). Tilting the pelvis back a bit (posterior pelvic tilt) and holding that position tight with tight abs throughout the whole movement can fix this. Neutral spine, NOT arched spine.
I had terrible hip pain from squats because of this, and this small change in my setup basically fixed it. But I had to basically completely relearn the squat and rebuild.
I think this is exactly what I am doing. I developed a dull pain in my back, especially on the left side. It is accompanied by tension in the left side of my hip, and pain in the thigh socket. I think I tend to over-extend my back when I go up in my squats. I probably started doing this as a counter to the butt wink but got myself in a bigger mess. Will try to resist over-extending my back and see if I can fix it that way. How did you relearn the movement btw?
I didn't want to watch the first two minutes of this video but I couldn't stop. The milk-boarding was a fine touch.
That intro was a piece of art.
So I’ve corrected my error of getting machine-gunned while squatting. Huge improvement!
one of the very best SQ instructional videos on YT 💯 thank you for making and sharing this 🙏🏻
Great Squat video ! Love it ! Thank you so much !
That was great explanation on every nuances and every possibilities
Looks like I have accidentally been doing squat-mornings for the last few weeks. Thanks for the video!
Love the platoon references! Awesome video
Great video and very well explained 👏
Adam, This was VERY helpful - thanks! Loved the humor part too!
Best squat instruction I’ve ever seen, thanks
Smart, informative, well executed, and freaking hilarious. I loved it lol 👍🏻💪🏻
Phenomenal video. Will send to my clients 💪💪
This is a masterpiece.
Informative and very funny . Thank you.
Good stuff! Honestly one of the best squat videos I’ve seen. The focal point idea really helped.
Dang, thank you so much!
Very helpful I was arching my back at the top fixed 🙏
Wow what an awesome video this helped alot thnx coach
Great video, and addresses some errors that are not addressed on YT...such as excess hip drive at the bottom....which is exactly what I do.
A useful tip from the blue book I've used over and over: visualize yourself as the bar (focus on its position completely and utterly), move it up and down in an invisible "slot" over the center of your foot, as if it were in a smith machine.
Don't forget to take in big air and brace.
Great video!
Me after 2 minutes of intro: Allright, we get it. Let's cut to the chase here.
Best part of the whole video, imo 🤣
Forwarded to all of my enemies.
Thank you for some great tips. I'm trying to finally master the squat after many years of avoiding it. As I really didn't know the technique. I also have long femurs which doesn't help. But I will persevere and finally nail the technique.
Thanks
That intro was gold. Thanks for bringing some humor back to these videos again.
That intro might be the best thing I've ever seen
Wow, thank you so much!
Never seen a dudes hairline end at his elbows before 😅
The milkboarding xD best intros out of all SS coaches xD
Did not hate this video for any reason!
Chugging my gallon of milk as I watch this
Make sure your dog gets a gallon too!
Damn Platoon is a great movie!
I'm still struggling to get to parallel in my squat. I watch myself in the mirror at home and try to force my hips down into position, I shove my knees out, I try different stance widths, I try pointing my toes out further than recommended or less than recommended, I try shoving my knees forward, I exaggerate bending over and pointing my chest down, and I've watched numerous videos on the channel. I go down as far as physically possible, even to the point of pain, and nothing I've tried so far has brought my hips to parallel. What else can I do? Also I'm located in South Korea and currently coaching myself. Help is much appreciated!
I'm too ashamed of the hair on my shoulders and traps to rock a tank in the gym. But, am I wrong in assuming that bare (non sweaty) shoulder blades would make for a more secure bar? I may have to rethink my body image.
can someone please make a clip of this masterpiece of an intro
Great video. Where exactly in the 206 is your gym located?
Sand Point! I have a garage gym
The Vietnam flashback to leg day/squats was a fucking brilliant touch 🤣🤣🤣
Also Platoon is a hell of a movie 👌🏼
The first time you stand up with the bar your wrist is extended, then from the front it appears straight (in line with forearm)
I like it so much I hate it, great video.
What if you have been squatting standard "high bar" for years and have really bad patellar tendonitis?
Great stuff, mate! I think I did all of these errors, sometimes many at once :)) Unfortunately I live in Easter Europe, so hiring a SSC is out of question and I don't even have a training partner to give me instant feedback. I have to rely on the SS book, trainig videos like this, my own proprioception, my busted knee pain and occasional videos of my squats. I find setting the knees and torso angle on the upper 1/3 of the movement and pushing the knees out absolutely paramount. Actually, my crappy knee helps me keeping a good form, because if I don't, it hurts :))
Stop the excuses, SS coaches provide online coaching ;) That's how I solved it.
@@cedricol Online coaching is not live coaching, I can identify 99% of the mistakes I make if I video myself. We could talk about excuses if I'd quit training or squatting, but guess what, I am training, getting better and stronger. Actually I am way stronger now, at 49yo, than I was in my 20s and 30s, when I was 'bodybuilding'.
This is good information, I appreciate it. I'm going to start squatting with weight in a few months. For now, I'm plenty heavy, lol.
The beginning was hilarious, too!
the key to everything is that hip druhhhhiiiive!
That back hair alone could probably hold up a 200KG back squat!
Is a bent wrist acceptable to hold the bar, I was told a straight wrist is a stronger position.
Neutral wrist is the goal. Make a tight fist and notice that there is some extension in your wrist, this is the goal under the bar.
It helps to think of driving your back into the bar.
when you trim your hair but forget to brush it off your shoulders
Beauty video. Where did you get the cat shirt?
Be well.
Gift from an ex hahaha
The only way the montage could have been better is if Fortunate Son was playing in the background
So why no explanation to wrist/shoulder/arm pain
10:00 what is shoulder drive??
That's some crazy leg hair at 1:00.
❤️
Clever and funny. 🤣
A dig a coach who knows how to dress. Represent!
What a magnificent beard.
😂😂😂, genius intro 😂
Wow. That intro.
Fangman, youre hilarious.
My guy!
That beard is incredible.
Editing had major Alan Thrall vibes. 🤟🏻
Is this Jon Snow’s friend? The one from beyond the wall?
Has anyone squatted with a belt and felt immense pain in the lower rib area?
Yes. My belt digs into my ribs and if I move it lower, it digs into my hips. This often results in quite significant bruising. I have a 10mm thick 4 inch belt and I think it is too wide for most normal sized humans. I'm 5'11, 230lbs. A 3 inch belt would be perfect, but I'm reluctant to spend the coin because my 4-incher has done the job well enough for 3 years.
@@drumh3ad my 3 inch Bruises me up too but I’ve only had it for two days. I’m trying to break it in. It was a little better the second workout but still got new bruises. I moved it a bit higher this last time as well.
What first got you into lifting, Ginger?
My friend was more jacked than me hahaha.
I keep getting hip impingement.
Try turning your toes out and or narrowing your stance and or bending over more at the top and or bottom
This sounds crazy, but go to your kitchen in your socks(assuming you have a slick floor in the kitchen), grab the kitchen counter for balance, and squat down as low as you can go with your weight on your heels. Keep as much weight off of your feet as you can until you get down low. Your feet should slide themselves to the position your hips need and your toes should turn out to where they need to be to hit depth without pain. This is your squat position. This changed my entire squat game immediately. Seriously, try it out. If you can squat down while balancing yourself without impingement, you can do it with a bar on your back. I 100% used to just try to squat with my toes forward and legs shoulder width and I had the same problem every single session and could never get below parallel. Now I squat toes out with feet wider than shoulder width and I can get ass to grass with zero pain. Every body is different, and there's no magic stance that works the same for everyone. Also, squat shoes made a HUGE difference.

2 bo? tubo? wtf?
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Dude seriously....had to cut ya off at 1:30. Intro waaaaaay too long
I'm really not a fan of cheesy intros.
It's cheesy until Platoon comes into play.
starts at 2:04
2:05 to skip over the useless intro. All that bullshit just to reach 10+ mins for ad revenue
Leave the bad humor to Rip next time
You are squatting too high.
First of all, as a U.S. Marine Corp Vietnam vet, using a clip from "Platoon" is insulting. You could've made your point some other way. Using a clip where a serviceman is shot in action is extremely inappropriate. I'd venture to say that AF never served a day in his sorry ass life for his country. You owe all vets who have served in combat a huge apology. I, for one will no longer view or subscribe to ss.
Ah the USA and their so honorable veterans. Like every of the 1,5 million soldiers went through huge risk or done Smth valuable for the country or the army. Weren’t you a plumber in Iraq?
Bye
Mercenary is a more appropriate word i think, better than serviceman.
Servicing for what, creating terrorist organizations, and leaving countries in turmoil like what we seen in Afghanistan?
Stfu boomer, it's not that serious
