"You're not here to just get reps. You're here to tax the musculature and reps are just the measurement" this has to be the greatest line ever said in any fitness TH-cam video
Yeah it was well put, I guess right analogy would be to say that "reps are there to measure distance, with every set you're supposed to travel a certain a distance, say 10 centimeters and each rep is a centimeter, a shit rep will be .2 of a centimeter, do the full distance, not a fifth of it"
I love how he says "That's all we have for you today" after giving a masterclass on squatting, kinesiology, stand-up comedy and Korean flexology! Simply the most intellectually scientifically accurate, smart ass, mentor, guru, Grandmaster of training competency! Thank you sir yet again!
I'm 6'4" with really long femurs and a short torso. All this time people have been telling me not to let my knees go past/over my toes, and it always felt wrong stopping that from happening. As soon as I adopted a *slightly* wider stance and let my knees travel a bit farther, I felt way more stable and got better depth.
So many people are giving terrible advice on lifting form that’s either based on pure ignorance or their own personal geometry that may not be applicable. It took me years of studying real knowledgeable lifters to untrain bad habits that had been taught to me by hs football coaches. And I was at an elite football program where you would have thought they’d know something, but naw.
Most of the people are fucking morons. Black people, asian people, white people, man, woman, big guys, small guys, most are not so clever. At my gym there are 2 "giant gym bros" who are really big! But they're also the ones who like to "jump at people" and "give advise", which is mostly shit. 3 "advies" I got from them that were totally fucking terrible LOCK YOUR BACK AND DON'T OVEREXTEND WHEN ROWING! Right, so essentially they told me to put my shoulder blades together and shorten the range of motion as much as possible when doing any sort of pulling/rowing, great one. Good one, right? DO A LOW BAR SQUAT INSTEAD OF HIGH BAR! YOU CAN PUT MORE WEIGHT! I knew it was wrong for some reason, I didn't know why, now I watched the video, now we both know. DO NOT USE THE PUSSY PAD (mentioned in the video 'bar condom') Do I have to explain? They were dead serious about it.
Yep, 6'3 and same here, the slightly wider stance was a godsend You can always keep a narrower stance on leg presses and front squats for more direct quad activation if that is an issue
"All this time people have been telling me not to let my knees go past/over my toes" Yeah, that's dangerous misinformation and can cause serious problems. And I'm 5'6 with poor hip mobility, but yes, feet slightly wider than shoulder width and pointed out and I squat ATG.
I'm not particularly tall, but long limbed and this type of advice is very helpful. Widening the stance helped keep me upright and made my squat in general feel much better.
no wonder I fucking am tired always though it was jsut the squats being hard but that no standard rom and dive bombign no wonder my shit is aways so tiring
I really like, you take in account that not everybody is the same, 'for some this, for some that". It's these details that gives confidence and trust in your info
Man, you recommendation to NOT overbrace was absolutely game changing for me, ive been going to the gym for a month now and I've always dreaded doing squats because i would get so tired doing just 5 reps, i tried not overdo the bracing today and i could easily lift 10+ reps with that same weight. THANK YOU!
I actually just started pointing my toes further out after noticing how far pointed out Charlie's are, and I gotta say, feels a lot better than whatever I was doing, not just in muscle activation, but it solved my knee issues. Time to watch more videos on the channel!
I remember in college a decade ago getting ridiculed by exercise science majors about needing to point forward. I ended up doing it and after years discovered I was right. Fuckers lol
This is so informative. I am so mad I didn't find your channel sooner. As I found out I have been overbracing this whole time and at the end of a set my shoulders and neck was on fire and my legs not so much. Thanks guys :)
As someone that learned how to low bar squat from Mike for powerlifting, it hurts my heart a little bit to hear him say "we're not here to do that". I miss powerlifting Mike!
This is so refreshing after decades of being told not to let my knees go beyond my toes, and to keep my feet shoulder width apart at all times. I am one of those people who has a very short torso and abnormally long femurs. Keeping my feet “shoulder width apart” in any exercise has never felt natural to me. I’m so glad to finally know why now! And relieved to not have to place myself in that position automatically anymore.
Came here for squatting knowledge after seeing Charlie's quads in the thumbnail. Holy crap the knowledge from Mike is incredible. I've watched (like many of us here) thousands of videos and this guy Mike (my new fave) is a brainiac (and funny to boot). Subscribed!
I’ve needed this video since this series started. My squat looks exactly like the wrong form in the thumbnail and I didn’t even know where to begin fixing it
I'm learning a lot from these videos. But I'm a bit surprised you didn't suggest placing weight plates or something else under the heels for those of us with extremely inflexible ankles who struggle to get a range of motion sufficient for stimulating the quads. I mean a wider stance can definitely help you get deeper, but the wider you go, the more you shift the emphasis away from the quads and towards your adductors, so that might not be the solution for folks who have to go super wide just to squat parallel to the ground.
it's an old video so probably author will not see this but i just wanted to tell that u making great content with lots of useful and helpful information and a friendly entertaining atmosphere at the same time. thank u)
LOL Israetel you're such a fucking G. Explain the research-backed application in a simple, coherent way. While being hilarious and not taking yourself too seriously. A way of being we can all aspire to adopt. Great content
9:32 I’ve recently been getting back into barbell squats because I used to get mid back pain. After seeing videos about core bracing, I’ve been applying it and haven’t been experiencing any back pain since. The problem now is that I find myself getting winded while my legs still have reps in the tank. I never knew that over-bracing was even a thing so thank you! Definitely gonna try this next leg day😊
8:14 Over bracing 9:35 Uncontrolled eccentric 10:46 No Standardized ROM - each rep should be similar or the same. Standardize your performance. 12:24 Low bar for growth - High bar is better for hypertrophy 16:40 Stance Width - find a stance where you can feel the quads the most as this will help them grow. Also see 22:30.
Jeez…..so is the consensus amongst the smartest people because if this is legit this guy did an absolutely amazing job dropping that knowledge on us.Throughly enjoyed watching this video and the way he broke everything down for us. Ugh! This channel is the best thing bodybuilders have
Same guy that conjectures off of scientific principles while leaning on the credibility of his degree and demonstrating with 100% real weights? Yeah I vaugly remember him
Great stuff Dr. Mike. I love your channel and my impression of you is that you’re very knowledgeable. Please check your definitions of lordotic and kyphotic
You've made my day. Definitely had a clusterfudge day at the gym today. I'm looking forward to not feeling like a failure and kicking my own butt. Thank you Mike. 💜💜💜🤗😚
Knee and lower back problems. Too heavy on the leg press and lots of things doing wrong on the squat like low bar, too heavy, tipping forward and going to deep and round my back. Great video, valuable lesson 👌
I been watching your show for sometime now and using your tips has helped me a lot. I got a plate and pins in my tibia and fibia and knee cap replacement (15years ago)and I'm squatting over 100kg I can't drop the whole way my knee doesn't move that far but I have gained so much rom from your videos I do recommend you as my doctor thank you. Every thing hurts oh mate that's life. Can we get a video on strengthening lower romboids please ✌
Great video but i am going to stick with low bar position for my standard squats. I just like it more than high bar. I do front squats in my program aswell so i think i am not neglecting my quads (or at least i hope so haha)
Dear Mike, Thanks a million for all your videos. I am back to squatting after a hiatus of 6 years post breaking my right tibia in 3 places. The one challenge I have while squatting is , the bar tilting to one side ( to the right more ) - what would be your tips to correct that. I follow extremely strict as you have advised in this video and am not chasing weights until i get it right. i focus on form on every rep. Kindly advise. Thank you so much and wishing your channel the very best.
It sounds like there might be a muscle imbalance or strength for imbalance from one leg to the other maybe try some unilateral work on the leg press or leg extension definitely could do some split squats as well to really focus in on each individual leg
My depth shit itself post back injury. I did a lot of mobility work, paused squats, and a bunch of other stuff to "fix" depth. Sit a little back and plenty down fixed my depth Edit: also the overbracing thing. I came from powrlifting and JUST swtiched to bodybuilding bc back no work. I'm super glad he said something about that.
LOL once you fuck your back nothing feels good. Squats deadlift they all feel like shit. riding bike walking. Feels like trash. Lesson learned is do calisthenics instead.
not to correct professionals, but I would raise the point that rounding of the lower back is avoided by doing more or less the opposite of what recommended here. with a low bar placement: bend the hips, do not try to keep the chest high, and allow the chest and face to point somewhat down, and accept that depth wont be super deep for a while. thats what I was thaught some years ago and it really helped me.
Amazing tips and videos as always! One question I have is how/where to set your hands/arms and elbows for the squat? hope this is not a dumb question. Thanks! Much appreciated
If question still relevant, than you should place hands as narrow as your flexibility/biomechanics allows you to, because it will make your back more stable. And you should pull bar down a little bit to activate lats
This could be a game changer for me with my love hate relationship with squats. I stopped doing them out of frustration and never feeling I can get them correct or whatever. I realize mobility and still novice at doing them is there but, definitely tips I look forward to trying!!
I am an old (65) guy with limits, this is a fine presentation. I wonder if I can ask for advice for people like myself who use a PF gym. There is no free squat rack, just Smith machines and dumbbells and leg press. Understanding this is not your level, can you throw some foundational advice? I find locating my feet under the Smith machine is an uncomfortable process ie I am not doing it correctly.

"breath out when going down"
Calling out Athlean-X like that lol
Damn, and I'm getting in even more air on the way...
Well the dude did ruin his knees squatting sooo perhaps not the best coach on that particular exercise!
More people need to call out that fraud✊🏻
Athlean can squat a lot....
a lot of fake plates
😭😭😭
I would probably drop the bar from laughing at his comedic delivery.
This was awesome. I've never even thought that I could be over-bracing for hypertrophy sets.
Yup just realized I’ve been having the same problem
Yeah i realized recently that i always run out of breath for 10 rep sets because i overbrace
Same, but now it makes so much sense to me that I'm winded at 10 reps pretty much regardless of weight.
Same. It’s so exhausting.
no wonder I fucking am tired always though it was jsut the squats being hard but that no standard rom and dive bombign no wonder my shit is aways so tiring

Leave the ego at the door, kid.
Dear Mike,
Thanks a million for all your videos.
I am back to squatting after a hiatus of 6 years post breaking my right tibia in 3 places.
The one challenge I have while squatting is , the bar tilting to one side ( to the right more ) - what would be your tips to correct that.
I follow extremely strict as you have advised in this video and am not chasing weights until i get it right.
i focus on form on every rep.
Kindly advise. Thank you so much and wishing your channel the very best.
It sounds like there might be a muscle imbalance or strength for imbalance from one leg to the other maybe try some unilateral work on the leg press or leg extension definitely could do some split squats as well to really focus in on each individual leg
I saw you didn't get a reply from Dr Mike so I thought I'd give you my opinion on it hopefully you can take something from it
It could also be flexibility issues in your shoulders when holding the bar as well
I love the vids, and I feel like I'm learning a lot. and you crack me up. very entertaining.
Can we get some blooper reels? Lol
Exactly what I am looking for
That's a great idea, I was thinking the same thing ☺️👍🏼
Best squatvideo in 10 years🔥👌
My favorite squat video! Great explainations and great demonstration, tip top video!
Doc Mike is a beast but him standing next to Doc Mike, I was like "dude, what?!"
My depth shit itself post back injury. I did a lot of mobility work, paused squats, and a bunch of other stuff to "fix" depth. Sit a little back and plenty down fixed my depth
Edit: also the overbracing thing. I came from powrlifting and JUST swtiched to bodybuilding bc back no work. I'm super glad he said something about that.
LOL once you fuck your back nothing feels good. Squats deadlift they all feel like shit. riding bike walking. Feels like trash. Lesson learned is do calisthenics instead.

You are a legend Mike! Thank you!
Yes Dr Mike with another excellent technique video!!👏💪😎
You need to write the NASM program I learned so much watching these videos
Been over bracing for a while
Thanks Mike
This could be a game changer for me with my love hate relationship with squats. I stopped doing them out of frustration and never feeling I can get them correct or whatever. I realize mobility and still novice at doing them is there but, definitely tips I look forward to trying!!
How are you getting on with your squats these days?
Talking about where to look, does anyone else stare deep into there own soul in the mirror as they squat?
Yeah, hate that guy
This is awesome, thank you so much 💯
i dunno if his quads or his traps are more amazing. Also crazy good mobility with all that muscle mass. 10/10
Traps.....its definitely his traps
OMG!!! those tips are amazing
