    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..

      @@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.

    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.

    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!

      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.

    • @akw1312
      @akw1312 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    More videos with Ed Coan please! Just got back home from the greatest squat workout of my life and had to give thanks. Plateaued at a measly 225lb squat for my 155lb bodyweight for at least a month. Tried different cues like in Chris Duffin's bracing video but wow… just wow. Literally just those few cues from Mr. Coan (especially about pushing up through the bar with the back) and the weight felt completely different. Thank you to the Super Training team and to Mr. Coan!

    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.

    I AM SO GLAD THERE'S ANOTHER "HOW TO SQUAT" VIDEO. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE A THOUSAND TIMES. THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE INFORMATIVE VIDEOS ON THE INTERWEBS ON HOW TO LIFT WEIGHTS PROPERLY.

    This is probably the best and most informative video on the squat I've seen, especially coming from the King of the Manlets Ed Coan (We can be strong too ;) ). In all seriousness though this was super inspiring to see what he was saying and alot of it was stuff that I've sort of figured out just through training which is awesome, maybe it's cause we've got similar body types (albeit about 1 million times stronger than me lol) hope to see him in the future, he just inspired the hell out of me gonna hit the gym hard today! Thanks Mark great content as always!!!

      ***** yea I get what you mean. Generally when I've heard that term its just cause a guy is short lol. But yea he's just a big boned thick guy he just isn't very tall. Sadly I stand alone as a weak manlet of peace. T_T
