Squat Series: Why YOU Should Squat

Why SHOULD you squat? In this video I cover a few reasons that I think it's imperative that you squat. Squatting might not be the end-all be-all, and certainly squatting improperly can cause problems, but if you learn good squat technique and you don't train too heavy, squatting has many more advantages than disadvantages.

Foam rolling is one of the primary warm-up and recovery tools I use to maximize my training efforts.

DIY TRX & Best Suspension Training Exercises For a Full Body Workout

You are awesome
THANKS FOR THE VID MAN
Well done!
$5.00 is pretty cheap, though.
Just, what was looking for 👍
This is great. Thank you for posting this. So many good gyms closed/relocated due to covid, and many crossfit gyms rebranded and are in disarray due to the Greg Glassman scandal. It’s good to be able to get a good workout at home without equipment.
Instead of buying a ratchet strap, go to an REI/EMS or any store that sells climbing gear and buy 1" tubular webbing meant for building climbing anchors. You'll know it's rated for strength.
this video deserves way more views great diy and workout thanks man
What is the length of the straps? Width and how long it it? I found something that looks like it on Amazon, but I need to know the width, thanks!
Very well explained! Thanks :)
I’m definitely making one of these and try this work out!!! Thanks for sharing!
Nice video man! Cool idea!
Nice!
Nice work man, this is a unique set up havent seen it before.
Thanks!
Hey! I just followed your instructions exactly and it works perfectly. I tried putting the sand in a canvas duffel at first and it was too unwieldy. This is much more functional. Thank you SO much. Did not want to spend $80-$100 on sandbag.
You're welcome! I'm glad you were able to find the video helpful! Best of luck with your fitness goals!
Ahh yeah, 300lb crew! Great video, definitely been noticing a difference in my bench while using these tips!
Thanks!
Good! Take like! Are you trainer?
Yes, I'm a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach. Thanks for watching!
Since all the equipment has sold out I have put together a home gym. Luckily I found a bench press setup, cheap bar about 800# of plates and a full set of those old school plate loaded standard dumbells with a nice stand for quite cheap in early march. I made my own power rack, bench and dip setup. Then bought an adjustable bench and nicer bar from a local place that amazingly got some stuff in, and a decent single cable tower a guy was selling yesterday for 50$ (score for sure). I have been wanting farmer carry bars to round out my back/trap work but of course they are sold out. I had been thinking of all these complicated ways to build some with 4x4s and steel pipe or welding something up. But for some reason something simple like this went straight over my head lol. I was going to use chain but I really like your idea much much better. Thanks for the tip! Oh, and I was thinking maybe wrapping the grip in hockey stick tape would feel nice on the hands as well.
Great idea with the hockey tape. That's the cool thing about DIY equipment, you can customize it to make it what you want and serve you in the best way possible. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you used this idea!
Thank you for this great video!

Good review. I've just bought a brown one on ebay for 20$ so even with all the cons you mentioned I'm not going to complain... It's still worth it for that price. Can't wait till it arrives to test it out myself.
That's a great price! I think you will get great use out of it.
After a couple of months of working out using this belt, I can recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good belt that doesn't cost much. It broke in nicely after 2 workouts and now it feels absolutely great! I used to have a lower back pain on the left side when I used the belts that were available at my gym, but after I started using my own - the pain went away and now doing an overhead press feels amazing.

Sounds like you're reading a good book...
Great video man. My favourite exercise. If u can squat big weight, ur gonna be a confident person. U gotta be of a certain mindset to put in the training to get to a big weight.
I totally agree, Ivan. The amount of confidence and satisfaction you get from hitting a new personal record (PR) after putting in weeks, months, and years of hard work and sweat is unmatched. And it DEFINITELY takes a lot of discipline. Thanks for watching!

How do I figure out how to progress in my goals? I never know if I should increase reps or sets or the amount of weight... 🤷🏽♀️
Melodie Turori - It depends on your goals. For general health and strength, 3 sets of 10 reps is a good starting point for most people. As you get stronger, try progressing the reps first, until you can do 12 to 15 reps with a near-max effort, then increase the weight (using 2 or 3 sets). The only time I would increase the sets you do is if you are trying to get really strong, and are doing high weight, low reps (3-6). In this case, popular schemes are 4 sets of 6, or 5 sets of 5 (with weights you could only perform a max of 7-10 reps). I hope this helps, thanks for the support!
Really good, informative video bud! Thanks for the upload!

Where do you recommend getting a kettlebell from? Also, I notice lots of kettlebells have different features like rubber bases. What features do you look for in your kettlebells?
Carina Pautz - I'd personally recommend getting a good quality kettlebell from a reputable company because the finish will be even and smooth. The finish is important because of how much the handle rotates in your hand during movements like the clean and snatch, and for rust prevention. Companies like Rogue Fitness, Onnit, and Rep Fitness all seem to have top notch kettlebells for reasonable prices. However, I have the most amount of experience with DragonDoor kettlebells, and they have the best finish I have ever seen or used on a kettlebell, but they are very expensive. I personally don't like extra features (like wraps or rubber bases) on my kettlebells, but they are great when using on hard floors like tile or concrete, so take that into account. Thanks for the support!
How do you make a lighter sandbag?
I would cut a small hole in the bag, let some sand out until the weight of the bag feels right, then roll up the extra plastic and tape it securely. The bag will be smaller and lighter! Thanks for watching!
How do you know what size rock to use? And how heavy your rock should be for this workout?
The rock needs to be a manageable size and weight, so if you can't pick it up it's obviously too big or heavy. Ideally, it's a weight that you can press overhead, but still provides some challenge. For most, any rock between 20-60 pounds should be great! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, great job looks fun!
It was!
