Hi Jacob, Can you please make a video about how to tackle each and every problem a person who is trying to squat or deadlift encounters? I tried squatting the other day, i fell on my butt, it feels like my body is locked up where i can't get the proper form down, i tried a lot of things and still have the same problem. I used to deadlift 315 lbs, one day i tried it and my lower back locked up, just like the squat when i try to deadlift, i can't go low enough so i can go into a proper predeadlift position. Please help, really want to squat and deadlift correctly, nobody teaches about how to prepare your body to be able to perfom squats and deadlifts safely. I think preparing your body's mobility and flexibility before performing squats or deadlifts is one of, if not the most important in preventing injuries.
Hi Jacob, While it doesn't relate to this video specifically, I wanted to ask about how the glutes and quads are used during the back/front squat. I hear many people talking about having a "quad" or "glute" dominant squat, but then I read studies that report no differences in glute/quad muscle activation during the high/low bar squat or even the front squat, and that the difference in strength is solely a function of leverage. If this is the case, why do people tend to feel their quads burn more throughout the front squat? And, on a similar note, could you argue that athletes who Olympic lift should then favour their posterior chain more during squats to maximize hip leverage/torque (like what you see in a conventional low-bar back squat) as this will develop their hip extensors which translates directly to the extension in a snatch/clean & jerk (while also getting the same quad muscle activation)? Apologies for the long question! Cheers.
That's a great question! There are a lot of limitations to EMG studies, especially with smallish samples. I think a well-trained lifter could bias either a high or a low bar squat to hit either the quads or glutes with just a bit of practice and a focus on mind-muscle connection or a slight shift in technique. But yes, typically the low bar squat will have greater hip and low back torques, while the high bar squat has greater knee torques, potentially leading to greater muscle activation in those muscles. As for Olympic lifters, I think we would see more of them performing a low bar squat if it helped their lifts more than a high bar squat. The high bar squat and front squat are much more biomechanically similar to their competition movements. Also, many weightlifters do clean or snatch pulls (no bar turnover) with 100%+ of their competition 1RMs to train maximal extension during the 2nd pull. Great questions!
@@DrJacobGoodin Thanks for getting back to me! I have a short follow-up question: does the increased torque in the low back from a low-bar back squat concern you if the spine remains neutral and not hyperextended? In other words, does a high-bar back squat seem safer to perform from a mechanics perspective?
Hello Dr. Goodlin. Your videos are very informative, thanks for the detailed content. How can I reach out to you? Purely education/learning related query.

Great information and good luck
Great work Doctor Goodin
Amazing video. Super helpful. Keep posting!
Thank you Doctor! From India 🙏🏻
Most welcome!
You are the true gnar shredder! Also I love our team colors royal blue and black 🤣
Team Gnar Shredders
Nice work! 💪🏽 I remember how hard that is.
You are gonna kill it! The question is how far ahead of you will Lisa be ;)
YES! You are so right Heather. Sending love to you guys back in Appalachia!

What do you mean when you said your Body Mass is 171? (I think I remember the number you gave.)
Hi doctor , Why must speed at 6.5 mph , calculated from what .
thank you doctor

How we can measure our vo2 max without such lab dr.
There are many surrogate measures. Many of the tests on this page have strong correlation with VO2max: www.topendsports.com/testing/aerobic.htm
I just wanna know if anyone had to change out the spit-trap
Let's just say that Taylor earned his keep
Hi! I tried to follow you on instagram, but it looks like I was not allowed. Wish you the best.
