How Fast should you Squat: Descent Speed

Here, I go into some detail about some of the relationships that will affect how fast you should descend in your squat and bench press.
The general rule is that you should go as fast as you can (to get the best stretch-reflex possible) that allows you to stay tight and in control of the movement.
Going faster increases risk of error, however, sometimes you must be willing to make those risks. For example, after a really grindy 2nd attempt squat, it might be worthwhile to "roll the dice" and attack your 3rd attempt with more speed. If you hit it right, you might be pleasantly surprised that you actually make the lift. Whereas, if you stuck to your "normal" decent, you would stand no chance.
Understanding these relationships can help you make better judgments about your training and competition habits

Kez you had one job!
Haha such a troll
Very informative John. Always dropping some knowledge.
Just love the advanced tips on your channel. There's so much stuff that isn't covered in the standard youtube powerlifting videos that are super useful!
Awesome video, thanks for such a high quality content 👍
I enjoy how detailed and thoughtful your explanations are. thank you!
Really cool talk and analysis Jp appreciate it , thanks for sharing
This is a great video John. It's the exact same experience I've had in my training, and you worded it very well!
Thank you for this video, Mr. JP
Thanks JP will implement that in training tonight. Always learning
I tried this advice today on my squats - worked perfect! Thanks
Great tips JP
Nice vid man. I typically answer that with (for non-beginners) basically as fast as you can while staying in position, which of course will be very different for everyone.
Very naice! Keep up great work couch ;)
learned about this in my skilled performance motor learning class last year. Wasn't smart enough to apply it to powerlifting though haha, awesome video JP.
This video came out at such a perfect time. I was considering trying to slow down my descend during the squat because I noticed I sometimes dive bomb too much and the bar shift forward, causing me to lose stability and sometimes low back pain. This happens especially during the last sets of the day.
Anyway, thanks JP for the video ;)
Wish I got this advise about 5weeks ago before I thought it would be a great idea to speed up my squat decent which lead to a herniated disc,woo
Good topic, bonus points for siblings being the biggest trolls haha
Hey John - I've been squatting as you suggest at the end of the video for quite a while. I've come to the realization that I tend to lose my position half way through the descent. I've done exclusive Tempo work and it has helped, but when it comes to heavier weight (80%+) I tend to fall into the same mistakes. Any ideas what I should do? Thanks!
Great informative video, i tend to squat fast but the problem is i always get stuck 3/4 of the way up and can't really get my hips through, i'm thinking that's because of losing tightness in addition to poor glute activation, what would you advice to solve that issue ?i've been doing pause squats at 2/3 of the way up and they kinda help. keep up the great lifting
Nadeem khaled Not that I try to personally go extremely slow on my descent but I also have a sticking point 3/4 of the way up so I reckon its more of a weakness or poor activation to be honest could be wrong though!
How about chinese squat tecnique?
Can really see what you describe in your own squat form too ... lol , cheers
U smart
I am late on this but do you have any tips on when getting around 90 + percent the descent slowing down? for example with up to about 520 I am confident and have solid, mid speed descent, but when I get over 530 and up I creep down slowly into the hole which translates to a bad squat. I believe a lot of it is mental but wanted to see if there are any tips or cues to help remedy this. thanks!!
I typically have this exact same problem. I'm hoping to fix it by just spending more time doing singles and heavier weights. I think it's all a mental thing, which to me means I just need to get used to heavy weights more
FitGranticus i agree . It's more pronounced at meets for sure with the added nerves. Very frustrating but i think you are on to something with the singles and heavier weights
why would I want to speed up my bench since I need to pause it at the chest anyhow in competition? (unless it's speedbench day in training)
Yeh that's kinda why I moved away from Bench as an example and instead focused on Squats in both the video and it's description. That said, there is evidence that shows that the effects of the stretch-reflex are still available after short pauses (like in the bench press in competition) so bringing the bar down quickly can still elicit that effect.
"Are you taking a piss?"
As an American I fucking lost it. (I know what it means, but just not used to hearing it)
I have the same couch... i am gonna be one of the best powerlifters of the world?
