What a drive by looser comment. You're also lying about what's in the video. I don't even know this channel, but I can imagine how annoying it would be to have someone like you misdirect any potential viewers with that BS. And then start a pile on with other jerks who also have nothing going on in their lives 🤷
Took him 14 minutes to summarize that, yes. Hilarious how much bs people put out. And btw, to squat more you don't necessarily need to squat more. Past two months I've gained about 55-60 pounds in the back squat (low bar) from my starting point, doing two sessions a week of 30 minutes each. You gotta know what ur doing and have zeroed in focus. The bs argument of quantity pisses me off, honestly. Junk volume.
I've been always a person to keep the reps between 8-12 reps for a while, after watch a few of videos on the channel including this one I've been messing with the rep ranges a lot and been enjoying it for programs! Love seeing the core exercise at the end of the video to, get swole ladies and gents!
Another one I learned from a competitive Strongman is the idea of wave cycling versus linear pyramid progressions, and it has actually helped me to reach several PRs. Essentially, take your 1RM, subtract 10 or 20lbs, do 80% of that for 3, 90% for 2, then that number, take 5or10lbs more and do the same 80&90% then do the same to your 1RM. 9 sets and your body isn't fatigued. Warm up with 60% of your 1RM if needed
What do I do those I will pause on the first rep and then do a double bounce and then a single bounce only on the sets requiring three repetitions but that's because I will warm up by sitting atg for 5 to 10 minutes while pulling a figure 8 band apart in front of me call Mom sometimes rotating, sometimes drawing a figure eight with my knees to warm up the ankles.
@@Noooby45 maximum recoverable volume is specific to each individual. “Too much volume” is different for everyone. Also, I made a ton of progress in a short period of time. Seems pretty obvious I can handle to volume.
2:49 - Dane, I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on combining the back squat with both sled pushing/pulling and single-leg squatting. obviously if your goal is to become a powerlifter, then squatting is the sport, but for those doing other sports, is there a smarter risk-reward ratio with using the other exercises more because of lesser risk to the back?
Some knee cave is fine as long as it doesn't impact the balance and weight-distribution through your feet. It's when the cave is severe enough to compromise your foot stability it becomes a problem. You'll see plenty of elite lifters with knee cave, but take a look at their feet. You'll see they stay planted and rooted to the ground throughout the lift. Essentially making sure the knee cave is within an acceptable range.
I love this I commented on a previous video about one of the rep schemes and you have answered it for me love it and love your content has helped me massively hit PRs over off and preseason for rugby but also maintain it during the season at 33 years old couldn't thank you enough
I'm finally understanding the term increasing the groove...and why it wasn't possible to actually snatch using the squat stance that I had. You should add a service on your app where your lifters can evaluate technical movements and make recommendations, if possible.
I wanted to ask you a question. During a mesocycle dedicated to improving power for the vertical jump what progression pattern should be used, for example if I am doing a squat at 50% of 1RM for 5 reps the next week how should I progress? On the other hand, in exercises such as the Jump box, if I did 5 reps with the box one meter high the next week, how do I progress? PS:I respect you
Wait. I’m confused on the kettle bells. You had a bag overhead on the one sided farmers carry but I’ve always used a lighter inverted kettle bell overhead. This wobbling helps the body to fine tune control over the core. The bag is too stable to be as effective…🤔 I think. Edit: good touch on walking backwards. I’m going to add that to my to do.
At about the 11 minute mark when you said something like : I can't wait to see the comments 'because you actually have a weight on each side and that counter balances it.." I was cracking up! That is exactly how people are on social media! Like they've never tried it - and they act like their the expert! Man I am all about oblique training crucial for strength
My problem are not weights but I get dizzy after 1set of 12….2nd set I get dizzy at rep 8-9 even with the same weight….I control breathing but still struggle not to pass out.
Please 🙏 please 🙏 respond to this. I was thinking of getting the York barbell stf press squat stand for my gym. I was wondering how you like it. It looks good to use. What do you think of it. Thanks for your response
I think one either rates the squat or deadlift as the King of lifts. I prefer deadlifts but they are hard to recover from compared to squats. I think both lifts help improve each other as well.
Please tell me you're coaching your athletes to avoid letting their knees shoot together on each ascent. Not only is it inefficient (very counter-productive for squatting as much as possible), it's more damaging the more weight you have on the bar. This was a very informative video! Good form is just as important as strength though. A race car with a smaller engine but a good suspension will have faster times than one with a huge engine and terrible suspension. You touched on this with the core stabilization but thats only the top half!!
@@enrique2395 key words "a little." I agree that squatting close to 1RM warrants a little knee wiggle. No problem there. However, if you're doing sets of more than 5ish reps, your knees shouldn't really move laterally. Maybe on the last one or two. What do I know, though.... I'm not a disfunctional fitness nerd.
@@enrique2395You are partially wrong. If you are squatting to parallel then knee cave is inefficient, but if you squat ATG knee cave is efficient and necessary. You can’t generate lots of force through your quads without knee cave if squatting ATG. Look at any top Olympic lifter and notice they squat ATG with knee cave and their quads are twice the size of powerlifters.
It shouldn’t really happen at lightweights; if it does it either means you’re very weak or have technique/mobility issues. But it’s bound to happen as you get closer to your max, and not really something to worry about, because you see it in the worlds best squatters as they approach their limit
It's okay as long as you keep your entire foot rooted to the ground, with weight distributed equally. This is because knees caving isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just depends if the knee cave is severe enough to compromise your feets' ability to stay rooted to the ground. You can test this range yourself by seeing how much you have to let your knee cave inwards and outwards before some part of the sole of your feet lose contact with the ground. Anything within this range where you can keep your entire foot in contact with the ground is an acceptable amount of knee cave, and nothing to really worry about. As mentioned previously here, you'll see elite lifters knee cave all the time on heavier lifts. But next time you see them, take a look at their feet and you'll notice they stay firmly rooted to the ground.
-specificity to Olympic lifting movements -quad isolation -less fatiguing -simpler technical execution for some people -allows greater ROM for some people -has good technical carry over even for people who primarily low bar squat -some people may find it easier on the hips -there’s basically no reason not to high bar squat, even for powerlifting
No such thing as too much muscle. You're not gonna be gaining more than 5lbs a year after ur beginner stage and 1lb of muscle has been shown to be exponentially beneficial for strength. So don't worry about the muscle, but closer sets can be good in something more technique focused or on a peak but you base probably shouldn't be filled with a ton of them
I can't feel the (back)squat hitting my quads. Why is that? Only by doing bodyweight/empty bar squats with +30 reps makes my quads fire, but why can't I feel anything on my quads with much weight.
I had kind of the same issue. I now, after warming up, do heavy 5x5 followed by 1x20 all in one go, then 1x10 slightly heavier. My legs are toasted after this and have grown. I also use, on my 2nd leg day, 10-8-6-4-2 getting progressively heavier to all out effort on the last 2. Then 1x20. Hope this helps mate. Wishing you all the very 🙂 best
Doing dubbels and trippels with 70-85% of your current max two days in a row is no problem. Hell you can even do it daily. You can undulate your volume and intensity from session to session and increase your max weekly. You will easily do 3-5 weeks. Train, eat, sleep. It's not recomended for hypertrophy or training above 90% of max.

I started squatting 5-6x a week and went from 210kg to 220kg in like 6 weeks.

Only by doing bodyweight/empty bar squats with +30 reps makes my quads fire, but why can't I feel anything on my quads with much weight.
Normally the low bar doesn’t activate the quads like the high bar or front squat. Maybe mess around with bar positioning in the back with low weight.
