- Matt Wenning, World Record Holder, Ludus Magnus, presenting “The Squat and a Form of its Technique”. There is a CEU quiz available for this video: www.nsca.com/c...
For more info about strength and conditioning, visit www.nsca.com.
Matt Wenning knows how to keep a seminar interesting! Cracks me up everytime! Pure gold information from one of the all time greats in the strenght community!
Matts a straight talking guy with tons of knowledge from his own experimentation.
That was truly amazing. Didn't think I would learn that much more from a video on the sqaut.
“The stronger you are, the harder you are to kill… even by your own body” … that’s fuckn brilliant! Matt Wenning is the man
Such great information
Great stuff. Matt is def a positive light in the Strength and Conditioning world.
This if freaking gold
Invaluable information. Thanks!
Love this guy. Great info
This guy knows its stuff indeed
In another 60 years we'll see more guys in their 90's with 1,000+ totals.
A lot of these snooty intectuals probably blow him off because of his general demeanor but the guy has the education and actual real world results to prove he is a top strength coach in the world.
Imagine saying that he, Coan/Karwoski etc didn't/don't squat with hip drive....😂 It's like they don't understand they squat pretty much the same way SS teaches low bar squatting
watched this for free.. fucking gold!
Funny thing about Rippetoe. I did SS to the letter years ago. Plateaus and fatigue is what I primarily remember. Started conjugate periodization last year and I feel great and am hitting PRs regularly.
SS has nothing to get through plateaus and that should be addressed because it is something that happens to all of us.
Sounds about right.
SS is ok (I’d like to see more reps/volume) when you’re first starting out lifting but that type of linear progression has a very limited life.
SS for 6 months max.
It's like you don't know SS isn't just sets and reps. It's an in depth biomechincal analysis and blueprint for how to perform the main lifts. Whether Wenning understands it or not, Karwoski, Coan and all other raw record setting low bar squatters squat using "hip drive"

OK watching this I realised to expand my exercise selection.. But when he mentions the amount of exercises the Soviets use I can't even think of half that many exercises.. So besides the obvious assistant exercises for the bench what other exercises is there.. And note I'm just in a regular gym not fancy equipment
fumbles 12 the variations are usually minor variations. Kinda an exaggeration on his part. In weight lifting it could be something like snatch grip high pulls from.a deficit, from blocks, from the hang, and from the floor. That's 4 variations for essentially the same thing to put it in perspective. For the bench you could have variations like close grip, close grip touch and go, close grip spoto press, close grip with chains, close grip with bands, close grip tempo, etc. it's not necessarily completely different movements but variations of the same movements
Keep in mind that he utilizes variations based mainly on weaknesses i.e. weak points. From what i have seen on his instagram (not talking specialty bars etc. since regular gyms tend to not have those): decline bench, incline bench, close-grip, paused bench, various pauses from 3 to 5 all the way to 10 sec pause, slow-eccentric reps etc. Just be as much creative as you can and pick a variation that attacks your weakest link of the movement!
Speed , reps and max. Many of the same exercises with slight variations. Change them often. Learn to know where your weaknesses are and spend more time on them.

“My squat technique looks like 90-92% of the world record holders” ignoring that number came directly out of Matts ass, why should we base training everyone else on the practices of the freakish outliers? Ed Coan and Matt have extremely different body structures than someone like me. Why would I try to squat like them?
He said that this style of squatting isn't natural to the body. The reason you would want to do it is you wouldn't want to create knee problems and back issues later down the road. The reason why this style of squatting is not popular is because it takes longer time to learn and the percentages have to go way down which hits some people's egos.
Squatting like them allows you to focus a lot more on strengthening glutes/hamstrings where most are weak. Training squat like Olympic athletes will train quads too much and not make you stronger overall
Yeah going off what these guys said think of it more like a checklist, right? So first you squat learn with this form (where once you know what to look for it’s easy to see where the lagging muscle group is. Second you strengthen those lagging muscle groups, doing this while maintaining that type of form will make your training max go up for whatever variation you’re using. You keep breaking maxes in training and meets in a form where it’s easy to find whatever is holding you back and you can build a world class lifter of yourself or an athlete.

I kinda disagree with some of this information. reason being my friend is just weird. he can come in hung over squatted 6 days in a row rpe 10 Max out. than on the 7th day come and hit a pr. I squat 3 days a week and I'm fine and that works the best for me. if my friend only squat 2 times a week like he says he goes down in weight that he sqauts. I don't necessarily go down but everything feels weird
Yes it is strange that he does not believe in squatting 3 days a week. this is a important component in the the programs I have had much success from. Perhaps he had a bad experience from doing this or didn't program it correctly when he did it or even worse maybe he never even tried it lol.
Nasty Nate yeah I feel like all the top level powerlifters would say to squat 3 times a week once you hit a certain point. than stop obviously when you can't recover because your to strong! but for us natties I'm not sure if there really ever a point your body can't handle 3 days a week endless if you got some crazy job!!
I don't think there is really a time you would have to stop squating with frequency based on strength. I think the problem is alot of guys just are not knowledgable enough to program it correctly. They think the goal is to go to the gym and blast their legs with volume creating the need for lots of recovery. You would think someone as smart as Matt Wenning would know better. Blaine sumner for most of his career trained full body 3-4 frequency and is superior in regards to squatting than Matt so the strength level is not a factor its more of smart programming and maybe a better managment of food and recovery.
Then you're friend is build to squat.. Squatting that many times a week is terrible advice for 99% of people
Yes some people are special. As well if a elite sport athlete who doesn't powerlift only. That would be too much with sport specific training
Gold
So Olympic weightlifters are squatting incorrectly?
Not “incorrectly” as much as the fact they frequently squat in ways that could be seen as “inferior”-for lack of a better term-in developing where their weaknesses most likely lie (hips, hamstrings, glutes, low back etc).
Should they only squat wide now and forever? Of course not. But I, like Matt, do think it could help them break records tremendously if they could get the wider base box squat esq form down pat.
