That's hilarious 😂 I literally think of stretching in the pool and applied it. It's like a mental hack. Walking through shin or knee high water can refine efficient walking as well
I loath leg day, my squats are trash. No ankle mobility, poor knee stability, long ass legs, but this channel helps a lot. So many good tips and... cultural examples to learn from.
Thanks for tips. I'm a masters lifter. 65. Weigh 101 kg. My Max squat in comp 184kg. Last comp a bit down 175kg. (November)Failed opener. Nerves. Really training squat hard. 1 want 190. This gives me a pretty competitive total in competition. Head noises holding me back. Again. Thanks
It's the same with young people too. Whenever someone does something or is involved in something that they perceive as uncommon for their age there seems to be an urge to bring up their age when mentioning it.
Interesting! I was holding my breath (“under water”, like this) last week and then an experienced lifter told me this breathing technique causes immense blood pressure peaks in the head and he suggested to me to keep breathing. What’s your take on this, please?
Hes not nearly as experienced as he thinks or he mistranslated what he was trying to say. During a single rep you have to maintain your breath in order to maintain rigidity within your core. However, muscles require oxygen to produce power. So you take a breath at the top of the range of motion. Take a breath, rebrace and execute. As for the blood pressure yes your blood pressure increases when exercising and sometimes under maximal loads blood pressure gets so high that a person can passport from it. Scientists can't totally account for why this occurs but aside from the fall it's safe and not harmful to the body. So hold your breath during the movement of a rep. Pause at the top to breath and rebrace before executing another rep. You can hold for multiple reps of you desire it's really a personal preference thing. Hope this helps. Be elite!!
I just did my first barbell squat today (only 30 pounds, I've got a ways to go lol) after doing deep squats with a 30 pound dumbbell, and although my spine didn't really bend, I felt like I leaned forward way too far. Any advice for how to improve that?
Question. If doing a belted squats should your li e of motion stay over the center of your foot. It seems like leaving the tibia perpendicular to floor would be a cheat.
Any tips for someone with flat feet and buckled knees? I just can’t seem to get down to 90 degrees at all. There’s also shooting pain in the knee where I tore my acl before. Almost makes walking unbearable.
Can someone please explain to me the excessive outside push of the knees? Personally, i get knee pain when doing this whereas having the knees in line with the feet is pain free.
descends onto the knees, this can lead to pain, the descent should start from the butt in order to unload the forces on the glutes and quadriceps, isolating the knee joint. My opinion
Align your spine with your pelvis in a neutral position. Don’t flex or hyperextend your low back or tilt your hips forward (anteriorly) or backward (posteriorly). Maintain that relationship between your spine and pelvis the entire time.
@@brahmabull4004 if I was coaching him in person during a squat session, I would absolutely use simpler terms. However, in a written format, when I don't know this person at all, if I used words that are too simple, it might be unclear, especially considering "stacked ribs" is already a pretty simple cue, but he didn't understand that. So keeping it simple might not be right for him. I didn't say "a whole bunch of nothing." I'm not trying to "smart signal" I'm communicating clearly. But if I were to "explain it like he's 5" then I would say brace your abs or pull your ribs down (to keep them from flaring). Now I have better things to do in my life than explain myself to a random stranger who's speaking rudely to me, especially when I was simply trying to help someone.
Arguable. Most modern shoes don't offer much protection in the gym if weight were to be dropped on them regardless. So being barefoot is safer for better stability. But barefooc/minimalist shoes would be better still
How it it dangerous, it can actually be more safe depending on the type of shoes you wear. A lot of modern running shoes have narrow toeboxes which cram your toes together, which can harm ankle stability. And when there's a lot of cushion on the shoe you dont get a good feel for the ground and you're gonna have to stabilize yourself on top of all the cushion moving under your weight, instead of just standing on the floor
@@Un1234l Pardon me, but this doesn't make much sense. You are carrying weights, it is right to have a minimum of protection, which you cannot give up just to have that extra bit of stability barefoot. Moreover, it is debatable how barefoot stability is becoming fashionable: we are simply talking about a "new age" trend even where it is not innocent, but even counterproductive. I mean, would weightlifters be assholes then if they had suitable shoes? Guys, suitable shoes exist, and it is good to use them instead of training irresponsibly and lifting weights barefoot.
@@psychobillysardo Like I said, even regular shoes don't help much when weight is dropped on them. But it is better protection than not having any shield. But that's where the risk VS benefit assessment comes into the equation: How many years and times have you lifted VS how many times have you had weight dropped on your feet? But once again, even regular shoes won't do much to protect you when heavy weight is dropped on your feet. And barefoot for performance and health is not a trend. It's very scientifically conclusive modern western footwear fucks up your feet and consequently things up the body. Modern day foot binding.
Not if tighten every muscle in the circumference of your midsection over your load diagram by breathing in before contracting and contracting before moving. Fail to keep tight through the entire movement and your concern is possible, but only because you didn’t stay tight.
@@Polar_Bear_Pete well, since men have a 30% lifetime chance of having an inguinal hernia, I think it is wise not to play Russian roulette with lifting heavy while doing Valsalva. You can brace your core while continuing breathing.
The water tip?! Yesss thank you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I’m going to use it Friday on my legs day
Saturday is mine
Careful not to drown
thought everyday was leg day
It tightens your core for stability. It's a great thing to do
I started using this breathing technique five weeks ago and it has been a game changer for me.
Ow the water tip was 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you!
Was honestly beautiful the way he said that shit I can’t wait to squat this week 😂
Amazing tip😮
That's hilarious 😂 I literally think of stretching in the pool and applied it. It's like a mental hack. Walking through shin or knee high water can refine efficient walking as well
You mean imagining walking through shin/knee high water or actually doing it ?
@@Jack_Mehoff I'm imagining the sensation of a past experience

Truly a women moment of all time ☕
Love it, brother, thank you. 💪🏾👌🏾👏🏽
Water tip was awesome cue, thanks.
Omg great form demonstration
The ribs down tip is so important
The water drill sounds awesome
What does rib stacked above pelvis means??
Don't arch your back. Slightly tilt your pelvis anteriorly, and "tuck" your ribs in
This need a pin
Google “diagram of ribs” and then “diagram of pelvis”. Figure it out lol
Stoked to try this on leg day today

Got tip I got told aswell when your coming back up think about driving upper back into the bar to keep upright
This helped me so much thank you
Thank you!
Underwater metaphor will help tons ty
This is the perfect breakdown
What do you think about locking out under load? I’m always scared to do heavy lifts and lock out my knees, but you did it in this video.
Is there another way to interpret stacking your ribs? Is it essentially standing up straight?
it's like straightening the lower back's natural curve by tucking in the pelvis.
How about “push your ribs down or tuck your ribs under”?
Essentially. Just make sure your torso is braced and under the bar as you stand.
I’m personally trying to novice my squat technique but thanks anyway 🙏

Site the research.
Yeah! This sounded like horrible advice to me...
That moment when the squat stand leaned back…..
Love the water tip ! Ty
love the vids

since i hurt my back, im really afraid to squat again... is there any tip to avoid butt wink? i think that's where it happened.
Stack ribs stack ribs
They are already stacked there 😭😭
Maybe re-sort them properly 😅
cool way to think about it
I'm having pain on the left side of my inner upper thigh on the pelvis when squat with or without weights.any advice for me?
ill have to try the no exhale until the top of the rep. i usually exhale on the extension
I've listened to almost every SquatUniversity video and don't remember hearing the water que.
Question. If doing a belted squats should your li e of motion stay over the center of your foot. It seems like leaving the tibia perpendicular to floor would be a cheat.
💥Holding a huge lung of air at the bottom puts a huge strain on the heart.

I tried this and I drowned in the water
Damn dat boi STRONK
So easily explained
The mechanics of the squat between a high bar squat and a low bar squats are different.
i get so light headed if i try holding my breath is there a reason for that? and could you help?
Since I've started doing this, I've been getting WAY more winded and gassed. Is that normal?
Is it supposed to hurt your traps when you first start squatting
ive been stuck at 135 and can only balance on my toes for 6 months. the second i put weight on my heels i topple.
What name brand are those shorts???
Is this technique applicable for Hack Squats?
Can someone please explain to me the excessive outside push of the knees? Personally, i get knee pain when doing this whereas having the knees in line with the feet is pain free.
Squated 225 firsttimw yesterday but i thi k i need to work on my form before i continue with that weight
any tips for improving ankle dorsiflexion?
On his TH-cam site do a search for ankle mobility and that will take you to the movement to help.
Can you imagine this guy squatting on your face?
My boy went down but not back up
Can i do it with dumbells?
💯True
Minus 5 for nail polish
Im still working on baby suats with NO WEIGHTS! Lol
Why did i think that was the guy from dude perfect at first
❤❤❤

What does rib stack mean?
breathing and bracing after each rep takes a lot of time
The guy couldn’t even hit parallel
I can't do this.....I fucking can't and I hate it thst I don't know why is it that my body can't seem to maintain form no matter the weight
You never explain what ribs stacked Means
it means to tighten your core so that your ribs aren’t flared and your butt isn’t sticking out
Align your spine with your pelvis in a neutral position. Don’t flex or hyperextend your low back or tilt your hips forward (anteriorly) or backward (posteriorly). Maintain that relationship between your spine and pelvis the entire time.
@@spencergsmithdude you said a whole bunch of nothing. Explain it like he's 5. USE CUES. bunch of words to try to smart signal

People like it’s so easy to do squat well, but people with long legs and femur can’t do it that well. :
Wtf does ribs stacked mean.
i'm burning for aaron.❤ 😍 ❤
No. Start breathing out as soon as you start pushing against gravity.
He didn’t even go down to parallel
Can someone help me with the ribs stacked
What on earth does “stack ribs” mean ?
At the beginning, why did he exhale at the bottom? You’re supposed to hold your breath
Depth?
Your 45 plates look like 100 lb plates lol
I think this is the same that athlean x stated before
Nice 🙂
what does he mean with stack the ribs on the pelvis?
Don't arch your back
You’re supposed to hold your breath on a squat?
Really, I appreciate the teachings, but I'm hating this trend of lifting weights barefoot.
Holy shit, it's dangerous!

He is wearing nail polish
Do you have short femurs?
I feel like holding your breath is a horrible piece of advice especially lifting heavy weights
How come he is small even if he can carry so much weight
Painted nails aren’t gonna help !
I thought u dont hold ur breath
With most exercises you don't. Squats are different as the breath is held to help maintain tension and stability in your core through the movement.
But I can't swim
Now some proper depth
Nothing wrong with his depth
no shoes, no safety rack. worst thing i've seen in my life. 👎
Valsalva (holding your breath while straining) is the best way to get a hernia.

@@davidrioux611 you cannot tighten connective tissue and that is where your inguinal hernia appears.

The squat is very overrated
stacking my ribs doesn’t make any sense my ribs just do whatever tf they want
You forget to mention one important thing man. push your legs harder into the surface.push your feet harder when you squting up👍
