Every single video of yours I think "This is exactly what I found to work the best for me" or "this is exactly what I've been missing in my technique" lol love the content man!👍👍
I've always struggled to find really detailed videos about the kinesiology/physics of particular lifts and slight technique changes and you're providing it clearly, thank you sir
never thought of this, great content! gonna try this today
This grip change helps me to maintain the bar position on my back. Thank you.
I need to practice it. 🙇🏻♂️
Your content is so good. You helped me most with my technique.
Very interesting video, providing top quality info as always! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video. This is great advice!
Awesome video man. I just switched over to low bar squatting from high bar and have had issues with getting the bar into position due to shoulder mobility and experienced a bit of bar roll in my squats as well. I like how you thoroughly explained the process of getting into position and why each step is necessary. Thanks for illustrating it as well, I'll definitely be using this approach in my next squat session. Thanks!
This is crazily helpful man thank u
Bro YES to all these points, knowledge bombs being dropped haha.
For years I used rippetoe style false grip which worked until I got same tendon pain as you. Switching to full grip really made me realise how much more of a better shelf I could create.
I have been using your shoulder setup for my squats it has been great the barbell doesn't get lopsided or uneven on my back now. Very good advice from you and Thepanash (video in French). Both of you have been recommending to control the barbell on the way up. Seems like an advanced technique that I would love to give a try.
Thank you for explaining this another way 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Never thought my wrists could handle anything other than false grip until this video. A game changer for sure. Cheers
Have been using full grip this year, can confirm its miles more stable and stronger than false
Dude it’s funny because this small change is so difficult to convince people to try lol but like you said it’s kinda crazy how much it helps when done correctly
Great stuff 🙏🏻
Such great information! If someone with inproper mobility can't perform the lowbar squat with a full grip, how do you recommend transitioning into it? I get elbow pain from lowbar squats because of poor mobility, so would you recommend that I still squat with a full grip or should I go false grip until my mobility improves? Is a full but wider grip better than a closer false grip?
My form does tend to collapse with a false grip and I'm going to change it. Thanks a lot.
Full for highbar and false for lowbar
I noticed every time I film my squats right before I start to ascend my hands would open and the bar would roll back into my fingers slightly. Once my gym opens I am going to try this. Thank you
I used the full grip then switched to false after reading Rippitoe, suffered bicep pain and couldn't figure out why. Maybe this video has the answer, i think i'll go back to full grip and see if it cures it.
As a beginner with squatting, this was gold!
I clicked on the video about to watch it but got distracted Ed by Instagram and then TH-cam sends me a notification recommending this exact video🤣 they reminding me tk watch it
Im 100% the opposite!
But hey, we are all built differently! And that's great. Great vid
Great vid
This is great iv suffered bicep pain in the low bar squat for years
The other half the battle is shoulder mobility!
When I switched over to low bar squatting a few years back, I ended up doing the opposite, I went from full grip to false grip, specifically because I started experiencing pain in my elbows. Maybe I'll give it another try now, that my mobility has improved.
That's exactly what I didn't search but really wanted to find
7:55 - if tipping occurs and weight is shifted into hip flexors, crank the elbows down and squeeze on the barbell for grip strength
Great video
Much love
I'm gonna test that in my next squat session, let's see how it goes
Also, Bryce from Calgary Barbell uses false grip and he is one of the best
now I know why mixed grip feels so much more controlled for me on the deadlift lmao
I''ve never considered shoulder mobiltiy for squatting. I should look into some mobility work I can do before squatting for "leg" day.
Shoulder mobility is not only key for technique but when you get to a 3x bodyweight squat it’s so rough on the tendons if your shoulders aren’t in check
🤔 I went from full grip to false grip because I would get painful bicep pumps after squats to the point I couldn't bend my arms.
Hey Brendan, I’m shocked by this info because I had the opposite effect. Full grip low bar squats hurt my biceps and i got tendinitis only to switch to false grip and my squats felt better and don’t hurt my bicep. Could you please explain?
Idk man. I use false grip and squeeze pretty dang hard. I had severe elbow pain that was resolved when I switched to false grip 🤷🏻♂️
Do you feel any of the weight in your wrists or is it 100% on the back
Do you have any videos for people with horrendous ankle mobility? I can barely squat parallel (with no weight) without being forced to fold my torso like a pancake to compensate.
Try getting strong on single leg calf raises and do shin raises (put a plate on your toes and lift it by raising your toes)
I know this’ll probably just get lost in here, but will you please let Andrew know that i love and miss him, and hope that he’s doing well? Great timing on this video, I was slowly switching to false grip just because I saw somebody else do it, gonna stop playin and recommit to #fullgripgang
I just texted him you miss him lmao false grip is trashhhh
@@andrewkyletang 🥺❤️
Ha! I recently saw a JM Blakely vid where he recommended the same sort of hand positioning & elbow/shoulder twisting (chiral loading) for bench pressing. This seems to have a wide applicability.
Yeah I have a bench video from a couple years back showing it as well but a tad different than his, the internal rotation allows for a deep palm grip.
@@BrendanTietz Squat day tomorrow. Will try this out
@@BrendanTietz Okay, so I tried the grip tip for my squats today:
1. There is a noticeable addition to back tightness, which makes a surprising (to me) difference in ease of squatting.
2. I don't recall if you mentioned this in your vid, but it is easier for me to get the bar in the *just-right spot* on my back using this grip. The full grip combined with the chiral twist of the shoulders seems to make the sweet spot more prominent.
Going to try this out today
I tried this today and I’m never going back to false grip
I had a shoulder injury and low bar hurts my shoulder. Can i just stick with high bar
Totally! My high bar is only 2-3% off of my low bar! Just gotta nail technique! Keep in mind tho almost all injuries heal
just wow i needed this video so bad
i wasn't aware that false grip squats were even a thing. is this something that most lifters do? it never actually occurred to me to look. i just thought it was understood as standard to fully grip the bar. the more you know
That’s funny... I made the switch the other way... I was doing low bar squat with full grip, changed to false grip, felt way more comfortable in high bar squat and my whole squat felt more comfortable. Can squat more high bar than low bar, so yeah I’m not having the same problem.
False grip feels far more comfortable to me by a tremendous amount. It’s not an issue of comfort but rather the opposite. The vast majority of elite level IPF squatters don’t use false grip HOWEVER doesn’t mean it’s not for you. Just saying that comfort is actually higher with a false grip because as mentioned at the end it cheats the require mobility and shoulder activation needed with a full grip that creates more stability.
@@BrendanTietz thanks for the feedback. I paid attention to my grip over the weekend and to my surprise could comfortably carry out high bar squats with full grip. So I went back and watched your video again, the advice around stability is priceless. Thanks again 👍🏻
we going back to back videos now🤔
2 videos back to back 👀
Christmas came early 🤝
Haha I'm doing this already without even knowing it.
5:32 say what now? 😮
Mark rippetoe doesn’t suggest this grip
LMAO yo I love rip, he’s the only TH-cam’s I disagree with on almost everything but still love to watch 😂
I’m a 5 year old girl abs I squat more than Larry wheels
