At a few parts the stretching goes with the music and I feel like I should be throwing money 😆 Great info as always, I always have tight hamstrings so this will help!
Great stuff! some warmup tips from various channels overdo the warmingup i feel wich only makes you lose energy before the workout there has to be a sweet spot i found.
Thank you for this video, it is something I don't really do and I am totally ignorant about. I usually just go straight into warm ups reps. I will try this tomorrow before squatting. 👍
Squat University seething and coping over your lower back not being destroyed from all those butt winks. I've done the first for a while just freeform. Might try with the bar for extra mobility and looseness
I'll try these for sure. What helps me a lot is doing some cyclette and using a lacrosse ball on my inner thigh, my glutes, and outer side of the glutes, due to my long femurs I need to squat with a pretty large base and this helps a lot opening everything up
Yeah man! Whatever you gotta do to get that limberness. It will often vary from person to person, with some people requiring extra attention. Either way, after you have done your personalized warm up process one or both of these drills will make for a nice final tough just prior to starting your bar warm-up!
Gotta squat to build the VMO. Gotta do mobility work to be able to squat well. No VMO, can't mobility. No mobility, can't squat. Guess you're fucked bro lol.
I like your first one, I sort of do it but focused on getting an upper back stretch in too by holding my hands and going for a stretch above my head, really going for the angles seems more logical though. The only problem I tend to have with squats is the hamstrings getting sore so I started setting up a landmine bar beside the rack and doing RDL's inbetween and not heavy maybe 1/3 of what I am squatting, havnt had a problem since.
Hi , please reply 2 presses (1 horizontal and 1 vertical) along with 1 isolation for chest and 1 for shoulder Or 2 presses for chest and 1 for shoulder with an isolation for shoulder in an upper workout 3 sets each exercise? Do i need to change anything??
I've occasionally done deep bodyweight squatting drills with slow side-to-side shifting but I'll try it moving around more and holding onto the rack like in the video. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to mobility drills but definitely want to improve squat mobility to allow more emphasis on the quads and knee ROM, so quick and simple drills like this sound attractive as opposed to having to stretch each body part and do entire mobility routines in addition to the rest of the workout. Does the first drill also help to improve ankle mobility if you shift forward onto your toes?
I recommend squat university for mobility advices. I highly recommend to find out your proper stance, so you can avoid hip impingement given your specific hip morphology (some people can squat with a narrow stance, like ivan djuric, some other with wide stance, like toshiki yamamoto). PD: the drill with the bar on top of the knees helps with dorsiflexion (ankle flexion).
@@EnkiriElite ok thanks for the response. I just bought a pair from Reebok. Looking for to using them. It has to make the ssb squat even harder doesn't it? The bar already pulls you forward as it is and with shoes should be worse
Awesome, everyone should go atg when it comes to squats. Idk why everyone say "not everyone has the mobility to do that", " i don't wanna f***** my knees"... Mobility is achieved (i did it to go atg), knees won't get screwed. Now, some youtubers try to break the 525lbs x 23 reps squats from tom platz... Imo, if you aren't go atg as platz did, then you are not even close to achieve platz record, why? Because math, and the amount of work done at full rom is more than the amount of work doing half reps.
I’m having unilateral knee cave on the ascent of my squats. Weight is still going up easily and im still adding weight each session (still a novice). I assume as the weight gets heavier this will become a larger issue. Is this a strength imbalance issue? Any tips? Thanks to whoever answers!
Most likely some hip weakness, but could be a hip mobility issue or just a muscle recruitment issue. You may benefit from a free screen by a physical therapist. They may check your hip mobility (particularly hip internal and external rotation at 90 degrees of flexion), strength of glute max, glute med, hip rotators, strength and mobility of your ankles. Check your hip rotational mobility and address as needed. Do some accessory hip strengthening/stability exercises, including single leg exercises, with emphasis on technique and control. Hope i could be of help. Source: I am a Physical Therapist
Weak glutes (glute medius), but could be your shoes/finger spreading aswell. I advice not to add weight each session, but excel in a current load, using pauses, slow eccentrics and lastly add volume, so you can work on that knee stability. Squat university is all you need for these sort of issues, they have you covered.

1:50 I always like to imagine I'm a Chinese weightlifter when I do this warmup.
Might as well! Haha
We all do bro. We all do

I'd like to hear about the different shoes you wear and why! 😄
Thank you for this video, it is something I don't really do and I am totally ignorant about. I usually just go straight into warm ups reps. I will try this tomorrow before squatting. 👍
I love Cossack squats as well for mobility. Usually do all the ones you showed along with Cossack squats to help open up my tight hips
I missed this before my squat session as well.
Let me know how it goes for ya next time bro!
Will do, thanks again!
Good timing since I was going to squat today. I’ve always struggled to go deep so hopefully this will help.
You gotta make a ohp mobility vid

I'll give this a shot tomorrow. The past month or so, I've been having to add extra warm up sets to feel good at depth.
hope it helps ya man!
Might try these if I'm having trouble hitting depth
Works like a charm, thanks
Awesome brother. Glad to hear it.
This is what we need! Mobility stuff is great
Thanks man! I hope you find them helpful.
I’ll try these next time! Thanks a lot 👍🏻
Hope they help ya man!
Pre squat workout algo - thanks man!
No problem brother. I hope you find the drills useful.
I'll try these for sure.

need muscles above knees first to relax them with these drills
great ideas for mobility work
Gotta squat to build the VMO. Gotta do mobility work to be able to squat well.
No VMO, can't mobility. No mobility, can't squat.
Guess you're fucked bro lol.

I missed this before squats this morning. Cant wait to use these next week, thanks for the free tip Alec👏. The least i can do is drop that like 👍
I appreciate it bro! I hope you find it the drills helpful.
Dang those are some nice lookin' blocks 👀

Do you wear those healed shoes when squatting? I could watch another video to see but it's easier to ask lol.
Yeah, I got used to wearing squat shoes many years ago and I prefer them now.

How about that Geoffrey guy recommending the smith machine squat?
Lol I missed it. Smith machine squat for a warm-up or for hypertrophy purposes?

Make sure to put effort into keeping your knees out. I remember being a novice and never addressing the same issue, not good as you get stronger.

@@RGV2300 I agree with all this. Single leg exercises are great too
