Just started powerlifting aged 53 following a stroke to help with balance and strength. I don't lift anything heavy taking it nice and steady. But every session is a victory for me and I love it. Thanks for all the help in these presentations .👍
The two types of bracing is something I’ve never heard anywhere else before - helps a lot to know that a bit of extension is valid. This video, like all of CB’s content, is gold.
I've been PL for a few years but always like to watch any "guide"-like videos for SBD technique. It's a sport where you're always a student and there's always things to improve on. Watching more and more of these has made me more vigilant of certain cues to maintain and keep a close eye on.
I really appreciate that you're presenting multiple options rather than just one style. Most videos I found basically say "THIS specific style is how you do it", and it makes it very confusing to watch different videos. Thanks for clearing things up for everybody!
never understood why your channel lacks subs when the content is this good! Keep it up mate I'm using your free program right now as get into powerlifting and I'm using your videos to try to find my perfect form for each of the lifts. Weights aren't the heaviest by any means - I'm 17 - but will get there just having sort of blind faith in the program since I don't know any better at the moment and can't wait to see the new numbers when I test them in 12
This is amazing. I've been lifting for 4 years and i'm always searching for tips and advices to improve my lifts. The amount of informations you gave me through the months since i started watching you is crazy. Can't thank you enough. Keep it up man
Thanks so much for this information!! I will employ some of it during my next session. The squat is my most challenging lift. I am a 65 year old, 242, raw lifter in search of breaking the all time total record of 1377.9. Improving my squat will put me in the driver’s seat.
At my age with a bad knee, I seriously thought I'd never be able to do back squats again. After watching this video and correcting my form, I hit them for 5x5 first thing this morning. I can't explain how happy this made me feel. Thank you so much!
I have recently discovered your page and watched so many of your videos this past week that I hit a new PR on my squats today. 300lbs. Went from 260 Max to 300 today. Thank you so much for your content! It’s a work in progress but I did it.
Wow, this is prescient, was just about to search for a squat guide and this popped into my feed !! Yours is a criminally under-subscribed channel. Keep up the great work.
Man you are a mind reader, i was looking for squat tips in your channel, and you come out with this for my 140 kg attempt in a few days, thank you for so much, keep up the good work man, saludos desde España! 🔥
That tip to focus on digging your toes in was so helpful. Always felt like i couldn't stop my hips from driving up ahead of my back, especially in later reps as i got tired. Now all of a sudden i'm able to move my hips/back as a single unit. Fantstic!!
This is the best guide I've ever seen. Normally the content creators will teach "their" way of squat. You showed that there is not only one way and that is absolutely great.
I haven't even watched this video yet and already I'm excited!! I just emailed my squat video yesterday to get some feedback and then you come out with this video! I'm an (olympic) weightlifter so I haven't really given squat technique much thought, but I know if I truly want to progress I need to squat with better technique!
This was awesome! So concise, and definitely several points I'm going to try to implement in my squats-- particularly I think the "pressure through the toes". I wouldn't say I quite have a squat-morning, but my hips definitely shoot up a bit on the higher loads! With my weightlifting background I also might be focused too much on staying upright in my descent, which forces my hips and knees back in the bottom. Great, GREAT video! And perfect timing for me!!
I've been lifting on and off for a years and my squat has always felt like I was being pulled forward at the bottom and i would lose balance. My squat never progressed with my bench and deadlift. I've never heard anyone say to widen your grip on the bar to fix that. I always thought it was do to something with my hips. I widened my grip out a lot and I don't feel that anymore. Thanks a lot. Your videos are top notch
i used to be a squat morning guy. trying to keep the bar path straight is what fixed me, and i realized this - bottom of the squat is mostly legs because its not possible yet for the hips to contribute to the erecting of the back once you feel it in your bones, start wedging your hips between your knees and chest, splitting your lower and upper body apart. pretty much a pelvic thrust if you feel the bar going forward, its because you havent start "standing" with the hips yet. feeling any weight shifting forward is your last warning to wedge yourself with those hips before you get into a really bad squat. i use the same idea to finish my deadlifts
Thank you for this. For far too long I was trying to keep my back too straight and would then be disappointed when my hips went back to get depth. Now I'm starting at a more neutral and maintainable angle.
That Bryce spends all the time it takes to make these videos, shares tips and guidelines on how to do it - for free! it makes me speechless and grateful. Thanks Bryce
With regards to squat mornings, I also believe that quad strength might play a role in it, i.e. your body naturaly tends to gravitate towards positions where it's stronger at, so weak quads could contribute to it. So maybe a front squat or olympic style high bar squat could help with it.
What about if you have the opposite issue? Staying too upright or the knees excessively pushing forward? Is this just a sign if weak glutes/hamstrings?
Amazing, as expected. I've really struggled with trying to make my squat fit with RIP SAYS, thinking I have to be in full low bar position and have my hands here and etc. Just listening to you talk through how you have the bar in a mid-range position and how your hand position sets your 'shelf' was super helpful. Especially right on legs day! Cheers man. Appreciate everything you do.
Squat morning. Yeah, I had a problem with that, for the longest time. Turns out my quads are much weaker than my back and hips, so they took over. Never occur to me to train my quads. So I used leg press as accessory and just hammer it out a couple times a week. Strengthened my quads, no problem. Also another thing that made me do that squat morning is the barbell rolls on to my traps at the bottom. Solution is to tryna keep the elbows tuck under the bar, instead of away from the bar. This should keep the bar at my rear delts. I actually learnt this tip from this channel, strangely it was not mentioned in this video.
12:50 very wise! many people including myself fall into this trap! when i squat 135 to warmup, my depth goes way below parallel, its not until i reach 455 lbs when my depth looks different. so for me, my depth is consistent until 405. Ego lift... hehe.
Hi bryce, I know you struggled with a hip injury and it would be interesting to see a 'prehab / rehab' definitive guide to help people struggling with pain , cheers
Fantastic work as ever. The only point that I think is relevant for most people, which I'm not sure I heard, is that of shoe selection and heel height (did I miss it?). Thank you, Bryce.

Never clicked faster in my life, I'm ready to get learnt!
Same

I'd like this but its at 69

Still waiting for "How to Bicep Curl: The Definitive Guide"
definitively done in the squat rack
I saw a guy curling over the bench yesterday.
Step 1: curl
Step 2: profit
@@ForTehNguyen you mean curl rack?
@@nagybence8390 I hate when people squat in my curl rack!
I really appreciate that you're presenting multiple options rather than just one style. Most videos I found basically say "THIS specific style is how you do it", and it makes it very confusing to watch different videos. Thanks for clearing things up for everybody!
Man this channel really is something else, your content on this platform is unmatched imo. Thank you so much for doing this Bryce
The fact that this is free and contains so much great advice warms the cockles of my heart. Great work Bryce
8:24 That dancing kills me 😂
I train with a guy I work with. The very first thing I fixed on his squat was the cat in the litter box movement. 3 steps. No more.

Edit: loving the nuance and exploration of the different cues and techniques
I guess that is how you'd spell out his last name for pronounciation haha.

This truly is the best squat video on youtube. Well done.
great angles, great tones and very comprehensive; i will be sure to come back to this video again

I love “Bruno Kroonshook,” Bryce’s cranky Powerlifting judge alter-ego
It is a relief to hear that there are other middle ground squatters. Glad to hear I am not an anomaly.

I'm satisfied with my squat form and I'm still watching this just cause this is amazing content.
Dude I love the way you put these videos together, it’s legit no nonsense. Very good content🤟
Perfect timing today is my squat day 🥰❤️

Doesn't tell me how to rack the bar after squatting - 0/10 - will wait for the absolute definitive guide! ;)
The joke aside, there actually are things to teach in that part, too.
great advice, seriously well put together
Thank you for this. For far too long I was trying to keep my back too straight and would then be disappointed when my hips went back to get depth. Now I'm starting at a more neutral and maintainable angle.
Watched both the sumo deadlift and squat definite guide, learned a lot! Can’t wait for the bench press definite guide! Keep it up!
The squat mourning that was great. And yes I needed to hear that. Thx for another quality tutorial. 👌🏼
Easily one of the best squat videos I’ve ever watched.
Christ, this is the best Squat video I've seen. I'm a personal trainer and I've learned a significant amount from this. Appreciated.
That Bryce spends all the time it takes to make these videos, shares tips and guidelines on how to do it - for free! it makes me speechless and grateful. Thanks Bryce
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I've waited for this for ages
Amazing stuff as always. Thanks for the free coaching! Your streams and youtube videos have really helped me to coach myself and others.

Great information and high quality production/editing. Give this video a thumbs up boys and girls.
This is amazing, it's concise and straight to the point. You deserve way more subs and views 💪🏾🤟🏾
I have been waiting for this video for a long time!
Thanks king can’t wait to repair some points in my squat 💯

That "pressure on the for foot" cue helped me a lot, thank you!
That walkout at 8:26 lol!
Thanks for this video dude.

Damn-one of the best squat tutorials out there
Very informative, thank you!

Always know its gonna be a banger!!
Thy Art is Murder is one of my favorite bands
Just what I needed 🤙🏻
Great video!!
The toes down is HUGE. Not many other videos, trainers, gurus mention this. For me personally the toes down made an enormous difference.
This was amazing!
Great job Bryce!
Thank you for the great video. A definitive guide to bench press would be FANTASTIC if possible. 👍
Hi bryce, I know you struggled with a hip injury and it would be interesting to see a 'prehab / rehab' definitive guide to help people struggling with pain , cheers
I'm so psyched you came out wearing a TAIM shirt holy shit🤘🤘🤘
waited for this!
This is great. Thank you.
Fantastic work as ever. The only point that I think is relevant for most people, which I'm not sure I heard, is that of shoe selection and heel height (did I miss it?). Thank you, Bryce.
Should be teached at school. That was absolutely perfect
12:10 Fantastic how much your spotter is in to it, lol. Check out those little nods one after the other XD
Awesome vid. Keep it up! Bench vid soon?
Best tutorial on yt ;)
Best power lifting chanel ever
