Yeah, I'm just happy the man is still with us, after that heart scare. He's helping to make us better, healthier men even after his heart attack, with "what I was doing to cause this" lessons he's sharing with us.
Dave is seriously amazing at explaining. Whenever he talks about a lift and the proper way to do it, it feels so clear in my head and i wanna go right into the gym and try it out!
i learned benching from dave's videos like 10 years ago.... He is so clear and knowledgeable ... so many 'youtube experts' are peddling bs here... thank god for D.T. coaching and continuing to teach the gospel of IRON... loved watching this...
Great channel John. If not the best fitness youtube channel ever. You can not imagine, how much advice from people like you help us teens and young adults. I am literaly consuming facts each video. Keep it up man
Love hearing from both of you and wish I could get yourself or Dave to be my couch. So reassuring and calm with many avenues of getting shit done without over complicating things.
I’ll throw one in that’s helped me recently, and I’m no weightlifting expert, just someone getting under the bar with a purpose. Visualization - both in the form of seeing myself performing but also from watching someone like Clarence Kennedy do his 528 lbs for 10. Granted I’m almost 300 lbs shy but that doesn’t matter. Everyone has their own unique perceived exertion. And this is an individual pursuit. So if it helps, watch someone who’s also going through the shit and see how they react - how they breathe, focus, execute. If it’s something worthy, then take it as inspiration and then apply it to yourself. Big time thank you to D.T. for Tip #4 - never once heard that before. Makes total sense.
Dear god, I have goosebumps right now. I had to post a second comment for appreciation of Dave's immense knowledge, there is no replacement for that level of experience. You're ability to translate your experience and make it "click" is unheard of.
Interesting how Dave Tate recommended beginning with torso movement out of the hole. Starting Strength explicitly says not to do this. But hearing Dave's wisdom im going to try it now.
A lot of people suck their stomach inwards to prepare for lifting, when really you're supposed to do the opposite. Push your stomach out, then breathe air in. That's how to stay tight in your core.
Really informative can't wait to get back in the gym and squat properly again definitely lost some mass in my legs not being able to. Train them. Properly in lockdown 😭
Hi Mr. Meadows I have a quick question. I am 14 years old and am trying to build my arms more but it seems like for a very short period of time they get bigger but then they seem to get smaller and I am confused why, I have tried many training techniques such as drop sets and super sets but they don’t seem to work, I was wondering if you had any tips for me, I also only have access to dumbbells and bands but I use both, Thanks.
john please make a video like this for traps! its the most underrated and hardest to train muscle for sure! thete is not much good information out there just the usual useless average shrug stuff, ,maybe some supersets would be very nice to try..something new..
Just make sure you’re actually using them on the lifts you’re using to active them. Most people work them a bit on everything without even knowing it. I know everyone’s different and like calves traps are slightly something that helps being genetically gifted for. My traps grow and I don’t do any direct trap work. I see a ton of people shrugging but not actually using their traps to lift the weight go light till you actually feel it. Rows rows and more rows, straight arm pull over row on the cable machine, basically any kind of row that hits upper back hits the traps as well. Or take a 25-45lb plate and do plate raises from your waist up to your eye line keeping your arms not locked out but slightly bent elbows but arms ridged and unmoving
Hi John. Does doing 20 mins liss cardio post workout beneficial ? I am 46years old and dont want to come to the gym just for cardio. I am doing a 5 day bro split. 4 exercises of 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps. Thankyou John. Hope you and your family are doing well.
💪💜JUST WHAT I NEEDED🔥 I have Osteoarthritis & osteoporosis in my back .my upper back between my shoulder blades has a big bump😢 so when I do squats or deadlifting I noticed my back is curved and I try so hard to keep it straighten/ Flatt how can I correct this?? PLEASE HELP ME DO THIS RIGHT🙏I'm a big fan of perfect form! Thank Yu Both for ALL YOUR knowledge🙏⭐🙏⭐
I have had some trouble with my squat for the last couple of years. I dont know where it comes from since i have hit personal best a long time ago without it happening. Lower back hurts like hell when i do them. Dont know if i squat high bar or low bar. I guess high since its more common. I realize it must be because when i go up i dont lead with my shoulders and i trail all the way up. I try to focus on it but i dont see results. Any tip regarding that?
I tried in the past front squats but i didnt have enough arm/shoulder mobility. Guess i should try that again. Or move my back squat at the end of my lower body push workout so that i would feel more my quads with a lighter weight.
Hi Jonh, Wow, absolutely brilliant video! Awesome technical explanations from Dave, the guy's a legend! I'm so excited to watching the deadlifting video when it comes out. Big thank you for making the video. Cheers, Billy
I feel just like you do! I had to comment twice because this mans advice is of such high quality I'm blown away. I haven't been this impacted by a fitness video in a long time. Dave's knowledge is on another level.
Totally, I found that Dave's knowledge was awesome, especially how he broke it down and his advice definitely hit home with me. Dave's advice can definitely be trusted.
Make sure you check out the whole playlist with Dave Tate: th-cam.com/play/PLNAUreWTt_SghWOesxKjv5EWY33p1qNr0.html
Please give Tate our sincerest thanks! And thank you John for the entire channel!
Yeah man, Tate is such a knowledgeable guy, much respect for him!
What a great series. I would love a wall poster with these tips for the home gym
Dave was able to work up to an 800lb squat max without truly understanding the concept of bracing his core. Definitely a beast.
crazy right!
“Alright hi everybody John meadows here”
Day instantly made better
Yeah, I'm just happy the man is still with us, after that heart scare. He's helping to make us better, healthier men even after his heart attack, with "what I was doing to cause this" lessons he's sharing with us.
@@fobbitoperator3620 😢🥺 Not anymore
@@ejen2114 yeah, he pasted on most likely due to the clot-shot...
Super Dave is a natural coach. Humble and awesome at giving feedback to each individual.
Dave is seriously amazing at explaining. Whenever he talks about a lift and the proper way to do it, it feels so clear in my head and i wanna go right into the gym and try it out!
I love that Dave Tate can talk about a squat and I feel like I learn 10 new things even after I've been squatting for >10 years. Legend.
This video series is so great! Distilling Dave's hour long rants into sharable "short" clips. Thank you so much!
i learned benching from dave's videos like 10 years ago.... He is so clear and knowledgeable ... so many 'youtube experts' are peddling bs here... thank god for D.T. coaching and continuing to teach the gospel of IRON... loved watching this...
I can listen and always learn from Dave. I understand how he describes everything in depth always. Always keep it real. ☘️ Thanks always John 👍
Great channel John. If not the best fitness youtube channel ever. You can not imagine, how much advice from people like you help us teens and young adults. I am literaly consuming facts each video. Keep it up man
This channel is pure gold ! Awesome stuff John(and Dave). Thanks !!!
7:17 "We forget about the broomstick, now we're gonna use a bat... now what are you gonna do?" boy I'm running
Yeah fuck that I'm racking that weight up and running for the hills.
Such a clever lifter giving great and simple information in an easy to understand way. Loving these videos
Love hearing from both of you and wish I could get yourself or Dave to be my couch. So reassuring and calm with many avenues of getting shit done without over complicating things.
I dont think they can turn into couches tbh
The squat bar being even on the back is a good tip. It reminds you how a a coach can see your blind spots.
Man, I am loving this dual video series. Thank you, John & Dave!
Instant like before even watching, cos you know its gona be quality stuff
I love how he simplifies and gives analogies to explain that all the Q's people tell you are the same thing just different words.
Cues* no hate just letting ya know, completely agree tho
@@Dtitus25 i didnt know how to spell it so i left it as Q's
The eerie ambient sound makes it so much more perfect! I actually love that

Aaaaaand saved this to lifting playlist!
Thank you guys for having such passion for lifting, and sharing the knowledge for others. Much respect!
Loving this series!💪🏻😀
This just made my day, thanks for this one John! First tip already has me itching for leg day to really focus and try it out.
Dave does such a good job at helping me not over think so much. Especially on the squat which is the one lift I struggle with
This content is so good! Thank you Dave & John
This "top 5" are on my top 5 list! Once more tnx Dave and John for this very educational series!
Very helpful information that I needed. Thank you Coach Dave!
just in time for a birthday leg workout. you guys are awesome! just hit 225 on bench, trying to increase my numbers on the 3 lifts!
These have all been great videos. Thanks John.
Interesting how Dave Tate recommended beginning with torso movement out of the hole. Starting Strength explicitly says not to do this. But hearing Dave's wisdom im going to try it now.
Thanks for the tips John and Tate! I’m definitely going to be implementing these and hopefully my squat will go up 💪🏻
I can't thank you and Dave enough for these videos. 👍✌🏋️♂️
He's explaining it with simple terms that even someone with no bodybuilding experience can understand him
I agree. The rock vs marshmallow is a brilliant comparison.
The broom stick and baseball bat one was a really good one
lol he's not a bodybuilder
lol he's not a bodybuilder
I'm actually blown away by his ability to explain and make things "click". I'm literally blown away right now at what he's telling me.
Thankyou John & Dave 🙌🏋️♀️👏
Thank you for an informative and eye opening video
God bless from Australia
Thank you for making this information free John!
5:56 haha only Dave would be able to attempt 800 in a meet, not knowing how to properly brace at the time 😂
Loving this series!
His explanations are gold.
I love this series, Dave such a good teacher 😅💪💪💪
Purely based on this video, he might be the best I've seen.
Deff loving these tip videos!!
Love this series!! Awesome tips 👏🏼
This is a fantastic series. Thank you both.
Two Legends in the same video! :D
Nice! tip 4 explains A lot . Tip 5 is next level....
A lot of people suck their stomach inwards to prepare for lifting, when really you're supposed to do the opposite. Push your stomach out, then breathe air in. That's how to stay tight in your core.
That was hugely helpful thanks Dave and John!
Our pleasure!
Great video. I’m going to try #4 and will check back
Really informative can't wait to get back in the gym and squat properly again definitely lost some mass in my legs not being able to. Train them. Properly in lockdown 😭
Great video great content M Dog Daves' stories explained and connected his tips perfectly so very helpful!!👍😎💯
Why does he have 6 fingers up in the thumbnail...
jedi mind trick
He hasn't. He's pointing with that single finger.
Because 1x5=5
the information is so SOLID
that "BOOOOOOO" in the background hurt :()
This video should be named"5 tips to increase your squat extras"

Love it love it love it
Happy 4th of July John!!👍🏼
1. Flat feet on the floor.
2. Tight core.
3. Even bar on the back.
4. Push shoulders back first.
5. FOCUS like a laser beam.
So dave squatted 600 for 13 reps at 13 years old ?
My challenge is squats I'm starting to squat 2x a week now. My max is around 135lbs smh 🤦

Should i streghten my abs? Use a belt?
you could focus more on leg press and hack squat too
@@mountaindog1 thanks Ill go with that to build my strength and squat lighter to work on technique.
I have been noticing some times that the bar is uneven on my back and I have shoulder and groin problems.
Mountaindog1, please do some videos with Matt Wenning 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Jonh,
Wow, absolutely brilliant video! Awesome technical explanations from Dave, the guy's a legend! I'm so excited to watching the deadlifting video when it comes out.
Big thank you for making the video.

Hit in the stomach with wrought iron? When Dave or John talks I listen.
Posterior/ anterior pelvic tilt
Taking Notes
Absolutely no one:
Dave Tate: I could get hit with an iron rod at any moment 👀
Finally!!
for me i need to put the right metal song in my headphones :D
That actually goes with number 2 cuz when you are hyped you tense up
Where is the deadlift video at?
tomorrow!
mountaindog1 thanks. Learned a lot already
