Video Suggestion: You're probably the best youtuber for explaining the biomechanics of correct form that I've ever found. I would really love if you could do a video on how to do a perfect dumbbell squat. I know everyone prefers barbells and goblet but some of us for various reasons can only use dumbbells. I was actually pretty surprised you hadn't done a video on them prior. Big fan.
I'm currently working on my corrective exercise specialization and I must say it goes hand and hand with my barbell obsession . Awesome quality content!
Yet again! Exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks for the conscientious attention to camera angles to make sure we see clearly what the proper form should look like. 👏🙏👌
I salute you the spirit of creative work and constant activity in this distinctive channel, which offers everything new and useful. Thank you very much, my dear friends. 🇵🇸
Can we give some appreciation to your core strength and stability? It is no small feat to maintain conversation - especially fully controlled and intelligible conversation - during a tempo squat and prolonged bottom pause. Incredible!
Quick question / request - can you discuss what **causes knee cave? This is a long time struggle of mine, and though I've improved somewhat compared to a couple of years ago, I'd benefit from understanding the causes rather than just the solutions.
The likely culprit for knees caving in during squats (and even running) might be weak glute medius. They are responsible for rotating the hip outward, and therefore stabilizing the hip during the squat-movement. If they are weak, they might give out during a few reps of squatting and then you get that knee caving (hip collapsing inwards), since they fatigue during the set when trying to provide stability but not being strong enough to endure the set. Muscle weakness also causes muscles not to fire properly, so you might give glute activation, esp. the glute medius, before squatting (try it with bodyweight for comparison, with and without glute medius activation) a try. Hope I could give you an idea what might be your problem and possible what to research for. Could also be an ankle mobility or leg-length discrepancy issue. powerliftingtechnique.com/knee-valgus-squat/
Great video! Thanks! What is the actual cause of knee valgus during squats? Seems to happen the heavier people go…what’s the body trying to do when this occurs? Thanks
Can you make a new Video on SplitSquats how the knees should track properly? And are you supposed to push your knee out to the side like in the Squat? Im feeling that my left knee is too far out even tho my whole foot is on the ground ( no 3 points of contact is coming off the floor)...and on my right side i cant get that much out like on my left....but to even this out on my own i am very unsure where and how the knee should track exactly and if i should focus on the knee out to the side?
Will these exercises also help with knee instability? My knees wobble all over the place during the eccentric portion of the squat. The shakiness stops below parallel.
Ehy man! I have a big question nothing to do with this video but I have 1.5 cm shorter leg caused by injury in the other one that become longer so I have to put a spacer on my heel but than I got big problems to weight distribution on my feet do you have any idea? Thanks if you will answer awesome channel you got a lot of knowledge and with you I have already fixed a lot of trouble that I had with my squat!
My fav football player has this issue with his knee caving in when he is in position.. it annoys me that no one has help him with this issue. It affects his leverage.
How would you work with an ankle strain, I've done a ton of exercises, mobility and nothing works for me. Feel pain in the whole ankle, the front, the laterals, and the tendon
Hey coach, I have an injury that I suspect is periformis syndrome and it’s really irritated when I squat high bar or front squat in heeled lifters (romaleos) I noticed that the extra depth is causing a fair bit of tail tuck/butt wink and I believe this is the issue and what’s irritating the problem. I swapped to my chucks for high bar and found I can still hit depth and remain with a decently upright torso with no issues on the injury. Is it ok to high bar in chucks/flats if you’re mobile enough to do so?
100%. Lifting shoes give you increased dorsiflexion. If you already have that increased flexion (and ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAUSES PAIN) then flat shoes are 100% appropriate.

Such helpful stuff, thanks. I’m enjoying your Milo book.
Big fan! Your videos helped me cure quad tendonitis
Ever since that, love to watch your content across all social media and educate myself
I'm so glad to hear some of the tips I shared could help!
Nice video Doctor
At the end of the day, the more tools we use the less we move the right way.
Great video as usual.
Great video! Thanks!
What is the actual cause of knee valgus during squats? Seems to happen the heavier people go…what’s the body trying to do when this occurs? Thanks
Thank you sir!
You're welcome!
Love From India Coach
Great video as always! Can you make one about the overhead squat? Setup, possible issues and corrective exercises..
Please make one video on lateral pelvic tilt
Great vid, any tips on top of this if you have heriditary flat feet?
I'm in the same boat. There's no tripod foot even when I'm just standing.
Still get barefoot as often as possible. Flat feet aren't necessarily a bad thing - it's the strength of the foot that's important.
Holy shit that depth.
please make a video about locked knee....please
Good video. Muscle control.
Thank you
Do you know the cause for knee valgus during initial drive for the jerk (right after the jerk dip)? Is it the same as the knee cave in this video?
Excellent

People say you grow out of having knee valgus and I never did . Like my squat a normal but I have knocked knees haw do you fix that?
A Bandbell SSB in the background!
Was that a special order?
It's coming out soon.
Will these exercises also help with knee instability? My knees wobble all over the place during the eccentric portion of the squat. The shakiness stops below parallel.
Awesome video! Can I ask what % of your 1RM you recommend you start with when you say ‘use a light weight’?
Thanks!
Ehy man! I have a big question nothing to do with this video but I have 1.5 cm shorter leg caused by injury in the other one that become longer so I have to put a spacer on my heel but than I got big problems to weight distribution on my feet do you have any idea?

Could slow eccentric (half)squats a good way to balance out the quad muscles and fix chondromalacia?
How would you work with an ankle strain, I've done a ton of exercises, mobility and nothing works for me. Feel pain in the whole ankle, the front, the laterals, and the tendon
Son tan buenos los videos y me duele tanto q sean en inglés jajajaja igual Like! Entiendl un poco pero no lo suficiente como me gustaría
what might be the cause if i feel knee pain when straightening my leg after fully bending for a while?
Thank you very much
How do you feel about squatting with bands bro?
Hey coach, I have an injury that I suspect is periformis syndrome and it’s really irritated when I squat high bar or front squat in heeled lifters (romaleos) I noticed that the extra depth is causing a fair bit of tail tuck/butt wink and I believe this is the issue and what’s irritating the problem.

Hi dr. Aaron! Does knee caving (if not addressed) can cause injuries such as patellar/quad tendonitis?
Bec I think i have tendonitis and knee caving is probably the reason why?
@@bryansantiago414 100% it can lead to that!
I really need to do these, my shitty knees are super wobbly...
Please, make translate a Spanish, esta información es tan importante, tks.
How many reps and sets?
There's no golden rule - but with this slow tempo I rarely do more than 2-3 reps.
Isn't knee cave a great thing? It allows to lift heavier

I love your videos and they're very valuable but the rap intro and outra is annoying.
Honestly what it ended up being for me is a weak quad on one side. I've strengthen it used kneesovertoesguys stuff and bam, huge improvements.
