No shit or nuthin' (see what I did there), I was wondering if this would be less of an issue for us if we "went natural" or used an oriental-style toilet?
I wish your videos were available back in 2001. So many young athletes did this so very wrong causing massive lower back injuries that required surgery. Back then the mentality was: "Put 100Kg and go as deep you can your body will strenghten it self." I will go through these videos with the kids that I coach. Never again shall the mistakes of my generation be repeated. Keep up the good work. You rock.
So many people are willing to throw away the deadlift out of fear of back injuries but don’t check their squat, when in reality the squat is a lot easier to hurt yourself with yet people are uneducated on how to do it correctly.
Brendan Jackson what he's saying is certain people can't go low enough naturally so they have a high chance of injury like hip pain and knee pain because the joints join together not just the muscles are not 120 degrees
Phillip Howard I think he has a video about and I never been but if you live in California you should go to Zoo Culture Bradley Martyn's Gym because he would actually know
Brendan Jackson The information in this video is wrong. Jeff is wrong, we should not be squatting as low as possible. We should be squatting as low as mechanical tension allows, which for most people is an inch or two above parallel. Putting ones joints into excessive ranges of motion under extreme load is a very bad idea. This article explains it well, www.advancedhumanperformance.com/parallel-squats-versus-atg-squats-part-1/ This is the part where you say "uhhh who are you and what are your credentials asshole!" If you are here just to be a Jeff fan boy, good luck to you. But he is wrong on this.
Jeff: "This test says if you can squat low." Me: (lying on the bed) "Ok" Jeff: "If you can do this, you don't have to worry about squatting very low." Me: "hmm" Jeff: "Everyone says it's a good way to test it." Me: (finally gets off the bed and get down on the ground) "Alright, you got me, let's try it." Jeff: "This test is a complete garbage." Me: (falls down on the ground)
The People's Savior Not really; Jeff’s analyses can be very lacking and he sometimes doesn’t practice due diligence. The only thing I suggest you should watch are his podcasts, when he gives the actual researchers 2+ hours to speak.
That's because Nippard is more of a powerlifter and has a channel that shares his personal life more. What i mean is that both use science in their vids and offer very real information in a corrupt industry
Absolutely love these videos. I'm going to school to be a physical therapist and I really like that you break it down and reference all the specific anatomical problems and visualize it too. I learn just as much from you as my professors, if not more somedays!
So i have been feeling smthg was off druing my squats mainly at my rigth ankle then i watch this and learn that i have Pelvic Muscle Tightnesses and Ankle Mobility or Flexibility Deficits now i will start to work on those. Jeff you just saved me from multiple devastaing injuries. As some one who has been injured A LOT words are not enough to express my gratitude. Thanks for being here.
Jeff, I have never, that I remember, written a comment and hardly give any likes on videos. I do follow you and have been for the past 2 or 3 years. This has got to be the best video demonstration and explanation I have gotten on this platform concerning these squat problems. Thanks man this definitely helped understand some things.
I've been working out for around 8 years I would say now. I was at a cross roads with pain In my back and legs and this channel saved me.. With great videos just like this... I actually had a week gluteus medius and I did the drills this channel said and it changed my life... man is good at his job
Please do a video on the following; 1. Overhead Press 2. Rotator Cuff issues 3. When to switch between hypertrophy and strength, and how often Thank you so much Jeff!! You've really given me more confidence to approach exercises that i was previously skeptical and afraid of,
Jamal Harrison believe me the last emotion in the world I'm feeling right now is anger. But thanks for your empathy. The guy wants to get his glutes sore in 6 mins
Jeff, much appreciated. Please keep up the great work. Don't know about others but I have pretty much unsubscribed from all other channels (claiming to provide fitness advice); nobody comes even remotely close to the value for time Jeff provides. He's the real deal.
Jeff is the smartest guy in the industry. Watch all of his videos, follow his advice and you'll be strong and injury free. Thanks for all the great tips Jeff.
@@backbone93 it's not Jeff's fault you can't train. You've obviously done something wrong on your own accord. Jeff shows many exercises with proper technique. It's up to you to choose which are right for you and do them properly and consistently.

This is information has helped me out so much. I have corrected a lot bad posture issues and have recovered from back pain from taking Jeff’s advice. Thanks, Jeff - it means a lot.
Love your videos. Especially when you go into your PT. My hip joints are wide, but I did not know. I went through years wondering how I could max-stack the extension machine and hack-squat while struggling on the squat rack. In fact, squatting often hurt my back so I avoided it. Because my high school strength coach enforced a strict "feet shoulder-width, facing straight." When I widened my stance and found a comfortable foot angle, my squats exploded w/o pain. Knowledge (plus hard work) equals power.
Awesome video, this channel not only provides great workout tips, but also anatomic ones so all of us can understand root cause of many issues and pains we have on our body not just while working out but in regular normal lifestyile, so it combines great tip for exercise and strenght, but also keep our body health from physiotherapist point of view which is great , so my sincere congratulations from Madrid, Spain to Jeff anf Jesse, keep going!!!!!
Love videos like this. Packed with knowledge. I’m 37 been lifting, running and training on and off since high school weight training and I just learn something about myself I didn’t even know was a thing. Going to start fixing it tomorrow. Thanks Jeff and Jesse!
Jeff, your videos are awesome. I have been squatting for 20 years + and just working through the pain...assuming it’s just weakness. This video has enlightened and inspired me. Thank you so much!
@ATHLEAN-X I just wanted to thank you guys for doing what you do. you inspire, give hope, motivate and educate people. this ist the pinnacle. i am so happy to have found this channel and im implementing those changes you adress in corelation with my own weaknesses and deficits. to quickly sum it up, Ex Boxer here, got rolled over and dragged underneath of a car when i was a juvenile, since then struggling and batteling with chronical pains and distabelized hips etc. had a broken LWS 1 and some other issues due to the attempted homicide i suffered from when i was 17. ever since then, fighting to keep my physical health, working out, beeing human with its flaws, pro's and cont's. AND YOU GUYS. you are helping me, inspiring me and educating me. THANK YOU.
omg this vid helped me SO MUCH!! I've been having the same issues as Jessie at 10:17. Now I understand more about the anatomy of the hips and the functions of the muscles around it, I've made a few changes to my squat and added in a few stretches to my adductors. My squat feels a hell of a lot better! Thanks so much Jeff!
Every time I watch your tutorials on different exercises, I feel like I need to relearn these exercises bc I haven’t been taught what your talking about, and it amazes me how much disinformation there is about weightlifting. Thanks for all that you do!
i recently got back into squatting, and even with light weight, i keep feeling my knees "crack". sometimes the left knee sometimes the right knee. i asked others around for suggestion and they first checked my form, they said the form is perfect. so what is happening??
T Sama thts what I'm doing, I used to squat around 180 as well now I'm back to 75 or something 😂😂 But it's incredibly lightweight yet my knees ”crack”, it really discourages me to continue. I'd rather deadlift than squat
I love all the videos on this channel, but I found this one extra helpful. Ive been struggling with squat mobility issues for years and this was like magic! Please do more videos like this
Jeff, Consistently excellent information. I really appreciate these deep dives, it is incredible to have you as a solid resource. I had problems with my knees when I was young 14-16 from lifting with no training. You did a great pushup series on tips to do push-ups with shoulder injuries that was awesome, can you do that for squats? Apologies if it already exists.
This is awesome! As an athletic training student, the explanation of the proper squat and focusing on movers of this exercise is very helpful. Thanks Jeff!!!
I think most people have a love hate relationship with it, great exercise that you can load up but if you've ever hurt your back doing them they become terrifying
the single best tip i got from Jeff was to FEEL the hip flexors pulling you down.th-cam.com/video/kBq6iynRUUE/w-d-xo.html check this video out, i was able to squat properly and actually feel a burn & soreness after so many years & attempts at doing it improperly, despite of knee pain and having flat feet. hope it help!!
@@tahodio47 Thanks, I bookmarked it. I have AS, and atm I´m using a ball against the wall to put stress off my knees. I have had inflamed hip flexors and inner thighs for years due to rheumatism, but I´ll give it a try with light weight.
Roope Karjalainen I feel ur pain brother. My whole body had mobility issues gladly i have fixed my uperbody mobility thanks to Jeff so now the legs remain.
Fire🔥🔥 the squat and bench press is probably the main 2 exercises I feel need a scientific breakdown like this there not hard exercises but can b easily messed up especially with typical gym bro way of doing it correctly and ruling out sum the corrective actions if need be. Btw I been watching and liking and following the channel for everything within my 75 pound weight loss journey and lifestyle to fitness. Ps the new camera is a huge upgrade..
This is the single best fitness channel on youtube. It's like having a personal fitness coach that corrects and explains everything you do. Amazing !! Thanks a million times @ATHLEAN-X
By far one of the most helpful videos I've every watched. I've always struggled with my squat depth and never could do "ass to grass" until now. Thank you Jeff for the amazing content!
This was a very helpful video. I was butt winking and didn't even know it. But widening my stance slightly and pointing the feet out, it allowed a bit more room for my knees to go out, which helped solve my problem. I was getting very strange bladder discomfort before from squats and now that is all gone!
Athlean lore: That skeleton was Jeff's former Jesse. Jesse2.0 is unable to see he is looking at himself after an experimental Athlean 24hour HIIT session.
This video is pure gold!!! I had been doing deep squats for about 4-5 months.But after my break when I rejoined the gym and tried to do the same deep squats and go heavy I started expriencing lower back pain. So basically until then I never noticed that all these months sqauts were the problem for it. Now after I understood that I had been doing squats with constant butt winks!!After doing these basic test now I know I have anatomical restrictions😅. So I started all over again with the tweaks Jeff suggested and my squats are getting painsless just as before.... And now I know that I am doing it right all thanks to jeff!!!😍
Timothy Washington We all should know, by now, that Jeff is some of a clairvoyant, and knows all the important doubts and questions in everyone's minds!
This explanation, as whole as it is, that's what I've been looking for since 4 fucking years of lifting. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! Keep changing lifes, please .
So if there is a hip anatomical restriction, how exactly do I fix that in a squat? Do I just stand wider? Or do I keep the same width, but flare my knees out as I go down in order to avoid the bone-on-bone problem? I wish there was a demonstration of how exactly to apply this to the squat.
Thanks Jeff. Always coming out with the perfect squat video we need when we need it! Gonna do a squat day today, and video taped my squats recently. I can go below depth with no problem just with atg I seem to get a but of an excessive buttwink. Going to figure out the issue see if this helps, thanks again.
I'm able to maintain the anterior tilt in my pelvis. It turns out that, for me, the issue was calf tightness that was preventing me from squatting lower. I've been regularly stretching out my calves with two sets of 30 second stretches each leg. Now I can almost Asian squat! But I can't go that low when I've got weight on the bar. I'm very happy with the improvement, though.
Vsred just put out a video saying you should never squat ATG... I'm more inclined to take your advice. 😂 His video also talked about butt wink but didn't explain at all what it was.

How ever low Jeff tells you to.
Brendan Jackson what he's saying is certain people can't go low enough naturally so they have a high chance of injury like hip pain and knee pain because the joints join together not just the muscles are not 120 degrees
Rampage Graham so what kind of exercise can I do to build my leg muscles up since I have bad knees maybe he has some ideals
Phillip Howard I think he has a video about and I never been but if you live in California you should go to Zoo Culture Bradley Martyn's Gym because he would actually know
Phillip Howard weighted lunges, leg press, Bulgarian split squad etc. There are so many good exercises you just need to search for them.
Brendan Jackson The information in this video is wrong. Jeff is wrong, we should not be squatting as low as possible.

This is the single best fitness channel on youtube. It's like having a personal fitness coach that corrects and explains everything you do. Amazing !!
Thanks a million times @ATHLEAN-X
By far one of the most helpful videos I've every watched. I've always struggled with my squat depth and never could do "ass to grass" until now. Thank you Jeff for the amazing content!
This was a very helpful video. I was butt winking and didn't even know it. But widening my stance slightly and pointing the feet out, it allowed a bit more room for my knees to go out, which helped solve my problem. I was getting very strange bladder discomfort before from squats and now that is all gone!
You can butt wink at me anyday
@@AMoistBum she probably throw a knife in your brown eye😆
All these fitness models on Instagram need to watch this video. Every time I see them squat they do the butt wink thing.
Shannon Smith yeah makes me cringe every time I see that.
Hilarious name! winking with your butt means a totally different thing on some sites 😂
___ lol 😂
Uber _Cringe_
Actually, it is working their glute but yeah painful
Skeleton: I used to be you Jesse but Jeff abused me so much I got hung out to dry.....RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN !
Athlean lore: That skeleton was Jeff's former Jesse. Jesse2.0 is unable to see he is looking at himself after an experimental Athlean 24hour HIIT session.
Great video solid content as always! wishing Jeff would cover an area overlooked by many and that is Overtraining
This video is pure gold!!!
I had been doing deep squats for about 4-5 months.But after my break when I rejoined the gym and tried to do the same deep squats and go heavy I started expriencing lower back pain.
So basically until then I never noticed that all these months sqauts were the problem for it.
Now after I understood that I had been doing squats with constant butt winks!!After doing these basic test now I know I have anatomical restrictions😅.
So I started all over again with the tweaks Jeff suggested and my squats are getting painsless just as before....
And now I know that I am doing it right all thanks to jeff!!!😍
Getting ready for leg day and thinking about this exact topic!!!
Timothy Washington We all should know, by now, that Jeff is some of a clairvoyant, and knows all the important doubts and questions in everyone's minds!
As low as Slav squat Blyat
Almighty God Be careful Master: Gopnik. This is the land of Wester spys blyat! We are not welcome here...
Um. This is the "West" You guys are the spies...
Are you Russian
1/3 Russian
We slavs have genetics to do perfect squat
Thank you, Jeff, for making such important information free to all of us.
This explanation, as whole as it is, that's what I've been looking for since 4 fucking years of lifting. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! Keep changing lifes, please .
I've learned more from Jeff in two months than I have in years of reading fitness magazines and reading "studies show" articles on the internet.
I just finished doing legs too, lol. Jeff is the master of timing.
Blast
I'm going to do legs when I leave the library, lmao
Thank you, brilliant video. It addresses more than one issue which I have and never really understood why I can't squad deeper.
Get some friends it will help get your squad number up
So if there is a hip anatomical restriction, how exactly do I fix that in a squat? Do I just stand wider? Or do I keep the same width, but flare my knees out as I go down in order to avoid the bone-on-bone problem? I wish there was a demonstration of how exactly to apply this to the squat.
Jeff does such an amazing job of explaining the science behind anatomical movement. Its crazy!!!!!
You are the best physio/ fitness resource on youtube. THANK YOU.
This is a thesis not a video
AMAZING VIDEO!!
This has honestly been really helpful and concise af all about squatting. Keep up the work 👌
I'll keep this in mind for my annual leg day
😂😂😂
Its amazing that no matter how long his videos are they are full of valuable information. And I cant stop watching them.
Thanks Jeff. Always coming out with the perfect squat video we need when we need it! Gonna do a squat day today, and video taped my squats recently. I can go below depth with no problem just with atg I seem to get a but of an excessive buttwink. Going to figure out the issue see if this helps, thanks again.
Can't understand anything? 🥺
Since starting a desk job I have really been focusing on correcting posture and hip tilt. Great video.
Jeff I’m going to school to be a physical therapist and watching your videos are always inspiring.
I swear I learn more regarding the hips and movement in this video than 6 year of medical school and 10 years of being an actual doctor lol
Reason why I don't trust doctors. Most of this is common sense
You're the Bob Ross of fitness, Jeff.
This is one video where I'm glad he didn't break out the muscle marker....🤔😆
Brilliant explanations and content. Will definitely direct my clients to this video so they can get a better understanding of how the body functions.
Fantastic! Thank you so much. I've been battling for ages and now I can work on how to fix my mobility in the squat.
Try Squatting bare foot, since I started that I've more stability and it just feels better.
Agree with you, I never squat with shoes on 💪
I prefer a low shoes like all stars...it help's a lot to not slip
I always work out bare foot. My feet have callouses from doing explosive leg training...with very light weight and high rep number.
I wear socks
In the gym? Foot fungus would scare me
what should you do if you do have hip capsular mobility issues and can't move on to the next steps?
Jeff Sir, please one video of 10 commandments for bigger n wider back exercise.🙏💪
Best video out there for squat issues. Love your informative videos, they've helped me out alot and they are very much appreciated!
I'm able to maintain the anterior tilt in my pelvis. It turns out that, for me, the issue was calf tightness that was preventing me from squatting lower. I've been regularly stretching out my calves with two sets of 30 second stretches each leg. Now I can almost Asian squat! But I can't go that low when I've got weight on the bar. I'm very happy with the improvement, though.
Vsred just put out a video saying you should never squat ATG... I'm more inclined to take your advice. 😂 His video also talked about butt wink but didn't explain at all what it was.
Courtney Carra buttwink is flexion of the lumbar spine. Which is bad under load. It’s a major cause of back pain.
Is it bad if i curl in the squat rack
ayyy lmaoo I squat in the dumbbell rack so it's fine
ayyy lmaoo dom mazzetti pls teach this guy a lesson...
hahaha
I reverse curl in squat rack so it's okay.
I do pull-ups on the treadmill it's all good
