all jokes aside "opening the taint" vs "knees out" literately saved my squat... just that little mental cue revolutionized my squat and fixed 90% of my problems... thank you ed... thank you..
I would love to see a breakdown of how that effects the anatomy, because it feels so different and so much better, and I have no idea why
Timestamp?
Same here, felt a massive difference in the bottom of my squat, as I was leaning forward slightly at the bottom
Jasper Velders can you explain to me how to open it up? Whats taint btw
@@jasonblahafitness1766 had to Google that one myself, it's basically the area from your balls to your a-hole. If you stand in your squat position and try to open that area, you'll feel your knees going out.
Mark you are truly changing the game for a lot of people. Before your podcasts and videos I never knew who Stan Efferding, Eric Spoto, Dan Green, Ed Coan, and many others were. You're educating the masses on the greats of powerlifting that otherwise would be totally clueless. Thank you sir.
What a noob!
Zombie3110bd wtf are you?
You didn't know ed coan? Really.
Facts
@@dleigh9997 WTF was that all about? Another American wannabe.
Ed Coan is GOAT. Part how to squat, part history lesson in powerlifting and all parts awesome.
Mark, you Jacked Metrosexual, you're really stepping up the TH-cam videos, no one else is bringing content like this.
OmarIsuf Greatest calves of all time, also
I learned from the best Assmuff!
supertraining06 i like muff
OmarIsuf I keep thinking it was a mistake to capitalize every letter in my username... Just to make it clear, I'm not Ed Coan
@@GOAT-rl2uq I am the real GOAT
"Fuck you, Mark."
I fucking LOVE this channel.
Part 1 - Getting under the Bar
4:35 Your stance is determined by what is comfortable for you. This is determined by invisible variables such as muscle, tendon, ligament and joint geometry.
Muscular Tension:
Push every lower spine muscle into the spine, and ever upper spine muscle into a locked tense position
Arch the MID back
2:14 The Importance of a Routine Preparatory Phase regardless of the Bar’s weight
Part 2 - The Walk out
(40%>
Take tiny steps, with a long pause in between steps to avoid the Vibrations.
Part 2 - Standing with the Bar on your Back
Part 3 - Going down
3:40 Do not push the Knees our, rather sit back by opening up the Groin
Part 4 - The Concentric Explosion
3:15 The Back must be pushed back up into the bar as you push with the Legs, causing the chest to move forward
8:55 This back motion is absolutely essential to the Concentric. Your back will round if its not done. It is also possible your back is too weak for the squat.
Dang brother thank you!
Thank you bro
You can’t find a 200$ an hour trainer that can do for you what Ed did in this free video
Man I second that especially when he said we could have learned from bodybuilder how to do dieting.
God, what I would give for 10 minutes of Mr. Coan fixing my squat form....
Tea Why Jelly same!!!!! squat is by far my worst lift. I kill deadlifts but I have to use baby weight on my squats because my form is so bad right now. I can't wait to get back in the gym and implement some of these tips.
Go to a seminar. Very help he help me with my squat even though it's my best lift it's probably my worst form. I paid like $200 for all day seminar with him or something like that
creatine addict Lol is that legal in a meet. I have actually done this but I obsess over for to the point it drives me nuts. I definitely have a good morning squat for heavier reps.
Nothing
Yea it's legal in a meet.
you know you're old af when you call mark bell a young whipper snapper lol
Damn, missed that. When did he do that :-)
i don't think you get it kid!
+sund5 very beginning xD
Awesome informative video even for non powerlifters, thanks!
That's awesome to hear
Gokuflex U are right bud. Forget the great squats tips, I like the taint and fart talking. haha. I love these guys.
Agree, squatting is squatting
新聞新聞 鄧麗君
this video is absolutely fantastic thank you for this amazing content Mark and Mike!
No problem it was a lot of fun
supertraining06 Are you guys going to do something similar on deadlifts in the future?
***** Is it the coaching videos? If not could you please link me the vid?
u
+xStandardTalent not really I actually have better form... pretty useless to stand like that these pussies would get raped if they played any sport.
Easily one of the best/most informative videos on squat technique in existence. Thank you
Health4Thought And that's some health for thought
Leightron I see what you did there bud
Agree!!
Health4Thought .......YES, indeed
This is awesome. I’m a beginning 78 yr old power lifter and this makes so much sense to me.
Hey Mark. I tore my meniscus 2 years ago, and only had surgery 4 months ago. I haven't been able to squat at all in the past 2 and a half years because of this; whenever I get anywhere near parallel it feels like someone is stabbing me in the knee. I just tried the cue in this video about opening up in the groin, opposed to pushing the knees out... I FELT NO PAIN AT ALL! This has quite literally been a life changer. Thank you for the great video!
I have bad knees the only way to get down for me is to open the groin. I'm super excited because I never thought I was going to squat again. I'm competing in Sept for my first time
Another spot on video. He's doing a seminar on this side of the states at Derek Poundstone's place and they're limiting it to only15 people per session as he wants it to be more hands on. Great job on this.
Brandon Campbell Definitely worth the money, I got to do a hands on seminar with him a while ago and it was great.
Brandon Campbell cool
Brandon Campbell I might be going on sunday, you planning on being there?
Brandon Campbell Wtf 15 people. SON OF A BITCH.
Przemyslaw Kowalczyk I went, there was only 8 people on sunday, it was a great time, got a ton of one on one time with the man himself.
Ed Coan plays around with 225 like he's teaching with a broomstick.
I like Ed Coan, he is so down to earth.
"The glutes are a strong ass muscle". No, like literally.
This comment has not aged well.

@@mr.andrew_andrew Because it took 5 years to get 2 replies.

"You bent over, and I could hear the ocean" I fucking love Ed Coan
David Martin lmao
They actually used to yell "taint!" when Eddy squatted at meets.
Great content man! Already watched the video twice. Great work .the whole crew.
Keep up these videos Mark! They're awesome and I would just like to thank you for just putting out these information videos. Must have been insane to get a chance to work with all these amazing lifters/trainers. Keep up the good work!
So much respect for this man.
I love the videos with Ed Coan!
The guy's badass
Great video! I can't wait till my next squat session to try some of this. Thank you!
These videos truly help. Thanks man love what your doin
Finally, thanks for sharing!!! Ed is the man.
Blessings

I loved the chest up que as well
I dont understand the taint thing
Pl explain some other way
Also tell what u were doing before
One of the best videos on squats - thank you for putting this out!
Definitely my favorite youtube channel, always have such entertraining/informative videos, Mark and Mike are hilarious. Thanks for the free content man.
Thank you for posting this. I love how Mark is an elite level powerlifter and he's still paying attention, asking questions, and absorbing information like a novice at his first seminar. Very cool.
best video on supertraining channel the point about opening your hips not just pushing knees out helped me so much thanks guys
That session, with Ed Coan, was awesome!!!! Please have more!!
Loved it. Learned more today then in the past two years. Thank you so much guys.
I'm a bodybuilder but all these videos make me want to powerlift. Thanks for sharing all this awesomeness, Mark
learned a lot since watching this video. I'm actually rewatching it before my squat workout tonight
man i swear i've watched it three, four times already!
Thank you Mark,this is exactly what I want,to learn from the best of the best. Keep making these videos and keep bringing these legends on them.
Most enjoyable informative videos on youtube, so stoked i stumbled upon it. Ed Coan is a legend. Keep it up fellas!
Outstanding video. Ed talking about how his relationships are worth more than his trophies was spot on. Awesome stuff.
Eddy Coan
Greatest of all time and he seems like a super nice guy
Just like to say thanks for all your vids, they have help me so much with my training.
The information in this video is OUTSTANDING! Loves it!
Love these videos man. Makes me realize that sometimes i overthink my squat and begin to adjust to something that doesnt work with me when my form is just fine, but i did learn some key things that could help as there is always room to improve! Great vid
Thanks for the comment
sonic34314 True. Squat and deadlift are overcomplicated. Coan doesn't squat with textbook style. Do whatever you gotta do to squat and get back up without losing balance. You'll find out for yourself what the best bar position is, stance width, forward tilt etc. They all depend on one another and time will learn what works for you.
True but there is a certain point where everyone can do the same thing and benefit from it. Every one is either going high bar or low bar, that's it. So, I think we can take pieces of info from each squatter such as the squeezing all muscles as Coan was saying, it's important to do that when lifting anything over 315 IMO...
But yes we are all differet, yet, we can all learn from listening to squatting advice.
@@akw1312nothing burger comment
Beautiful video. I am def taking these tips into my training. Thank you guys.
Great video and content. I really appreciate all the videos you guys put out.
Such an awesome video! Also, Ed is super humble!
What a great video and such a nice freaking guy!!!!
Mark Macqueen Yeah man, can't be more humble!
Wow, thanks for a great video. A real treat from the great one, Ed Coan. Thanks, Mark.
Thank you man. Pure gold. Good people giving good advices. Love it.
The Michael Jordan of Powerlifting ;-)
No, Jordan is the Ed Coan of basketball!
bizeemi vas They were both active around the same time, so I guess their just true equals in their sports.
That pretty insensitive man. He just died
@@Ianfromh3 who died?
@@Ianfromh3 ummm that wasn’t funny
Looking forward to the 'Deadlifting with Ed Coan' video
Awesome video. Thank you ST for bringing us the best information from the most reputable sources. Keep up the good work
Best squat video I've ever watched. Thank you so much Ed Coan, Mark Bell, and Silent Mike!
not everyday you see a guy having a conversation with 225 on his back
"Ed Coan, GOAT powerlifter, tell us the secret of squatting"
"Open up your taint"
Such a pleasure too watch Ed Coan teaching things.
skwaated after watching this, made gainz. Would watch again
"We'll call you Kevin Oak" LOL.
thanks for everything mark youre taking all opportunities handed to you, you deserve everything you have thanks for all the videos they really helped
Mark you do such a great job of getting information out of people. Thanks for everything over the years.
Any chance of getting a How to Deadlift?
GOAT ed why are you commenting on a video of yourself?
How to Sumo and how to conventional coming soon
I feel like I should be paying 100$ for each of these videos and I'm getting them for free. Thank you for making strength training so much easier to learn and enabling future athletes!
I love this man so much. So humble, such a guru, so knowledgeable. IMO, the true powerlifting legend.
what a legend, best squat video on the you tubes. Thanks to Mark for getting it out there.
The greatest of all time in powerlifting and no doubt an athlete of the same caliber as Ali and Jordan. Yet so few know him compared to beluga whales like Phil Heath. A shame really. Great video on a positive note Mr. Coan seems like a really great guy always wanting to help.
You getting the lilliebridges in for these kinds of videos any time soon?
Brilliant video!! Loads of great info, mixed in with Mr Coan's obvious passion. Thank you.
Best informative video, I've seen on TH-cam. Thanks you Mark!!! 💪
7:13 "a strong-ass muscle back there" hahah, good one
It doesn't get much better than with Eddy Fucking Coan!
Awesome contect as usual. Thanks Mark and ST
This is some amazing content. Thanks for the upload People's Coach!
"I was gonna say with you bent over I can hear the ocean " 13:10 fucking funny
Ed Coan. The deadlift King and dad shoe connoisseur
lol the new balances and what not
I love seeing all the other channels I watch commenting on this. Best content, power cast is the highlight of my week at work, you guys are great.
1700th like! This was super helpful!
I loved it when Mike said “ we got light weight here” referring to 315 lbs. wtf?!
It's really light for them
Watched this video four or five times and always get a new takeaway each time, so much great info
It's great to see all these guys and their different views on lifting, keep it up
haha 23:53
- it doesn't feel thousand pounds, it feels like 800.
- oh that's all?
Mike you funny
Rippetoe fans be in their wheelchairs, like: "Aaaah, so that' how you avoid breaking your L4!"
LMAO
Thank you so much!!! I love the content that Supertraining puts out! Great video!
This is the best squat video I've ever watched, Ed Coan is a legend.
Cool video.
best part was the "skwaats" thing at 1:18
Keith Evans yeh, dat was funny
Awesome video! great explanation of the squat, especially for the raw lifter. It was good to hear the other things he had to say as well that pertained more to the sport than just the squat.
I'm new to the sport, 8 weeks in. Thank you for posting this, found it very informative and can't wait to try this in my next workout.
Ed is to the left but his voice is coming from the right,
Mark is to the right but his voice is coming from the left.
"I think that is a Metallica song" I laughed
8:08
Man this made my morning, having this video to watch 2 hours before a squat session .. puurfect. Great content as usual, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-cam channel.
Thank you very much for making these videos, its really great that all of you are giving so much time to help people get better at what they love doing - Ricky Askew
"All of a sudden, that weight feels so light because you're set up perfect, so it doesn't feel like 1000 pounds anymore it feels like 800..."
Sounds too easy to be true ;-) hehe
I liked, then unliked, just so I can like this video again
Legendary video! Thanks a lot for all the tips from the Legend himself Ed Coan!
Eddy Coan!!! Another awesome vid guys! Keeps getting better and better.
I feel like I should probably watch this once or twice a month, just for reminders of all the different cues.
Or maybe I just need a training partner shouting, "Open up your taint!"
Man, Silent Mike got PHAT since this videos!
LordSteelCF thicc
I actually learned how to squat and deadlift by these videos . Great content guys keep on rocking
I'm learning so much from watching these type of videos. I'm seriously geeking out absorbing everything like a sponge. It's so cool to take these lessons and go apply them in my actual training. I'm getting more and more obsessed every day. Thank you so much.
"oh - my taint is like a conch shell, I get it now...I'm gonna squat 900!"
How to Deadlift, with Ed Coan ??? :)
Awesome video!!! Thanks for all the valuable information you share Mark. Without doubt the most informative chanel on TH-cam!
