Hi Matt! I’ve lately been watching your videos on squatting. Originally, I was a bit unsure about things you bring up about squat technique such as flat soles, near vertical shins, etc. I gave it a few weeks of practice. It was a huge grind to squat 405 but with consistent practice, it’s getting smoother. Thank you so much for your content! It has helped me a lot with the squat and I can’t wait to get even stronger!
As always, a ton of great information in a short amount of time. Not to mention learning how to say "Happy Meal" in Chinese. My morning is complete. Thanks Matt!
You’re the master, but I would add squeezing and depressing the scaps while flexing the lats. Helps me keep the sternum high. Just tightening the upper back added about 20 pounds to my squat in one session.
At least Ray Williams, Jesus Olivares, John Haack, Russel Orhii squat with knee traveling forward and they seem to use their full body to squat and seems to work for them pretty good. Its typical for "westside barbell" fanatics to try squueze every bodytype in to same squatform. Just because it worked for Wenning(?) in raw squat does not mean it works for everyone.
As always, a great tutorial! Matt Wenning, one of the greatest instructors out there to listen to and follow! Kudos to Matt, one of, well most likely my most favorite!
@@WenningStrength You deserve a lot more. I much rather prefer your channel and Dave Tate's channel to stupid 'entertainment lifting' channels that have 1 million+ subs. Keep doing you, great content.
@@WenningStrength you really should start answering questions instead of immediately saying go to my Patreon you would have double the subscribers by now… give one quick usable answer and then say if you need more help with that feel free to join our Patreon because we do so and so etc… You have to explain why the Patreon is good even if it’s in a comment but you got to give some value if somebody has an extra question
Suppose if my limiting factor ain't my legs, hips, or lower back at all, but instead it's dealing with the pain/getting used to having the bar across my back? I'm not that skinny either at 210 and 6'2". I don't want a bar pad either as those things seem dangerous, So, what exercises can I do build up the very upper back where the bar sits in the low bar squat? Or do you just tough out and squats will make the upper back grow?
Is this a powerlifter type of squat? Because I've always been taught the bar should be placed higher and allow the knees to travel over the toes. Thanks
I purchased the power building manual which I'm stoked about. I am an experienced lifter but I am seriously deconditioned. Anything I should change? or just bust my ass?
Minor question, but his wrists are cooked back. Have seen other power lifters saying the wrists should be inline as similar to a bench press to help keep everything tight as well as the bar. Is that not a big concern in your opinion?
The sternum high position is contradictory ... I mean Chris Duffin always suggests that sternum high position is weaker that’s why he prefers the ribs down position in squatting...
I have a question, I've been squating for a while now and i started to get pain in my knees. I checked my form multiple times and can't find any ques what am i doing worng, knees don't cave in, no leaning forward, full depth. Can anyone give me any advice?
@forwatchingu2ubeclip i thought its because i progressed too fast squat. Will try to rest properly and do exercises that don't irritate my knees. Thanks for the help
@@WenningStrength I just think it's not always the numbers we should chase. A well executed high bar squat to depth has so many benefits (generall strength, mobility, hypertrophy, carry over to other lifts..).
But what about body types? Yeng has short femurs thats why he can squat with his shins staying straight. I got injured in the begining bcs I was trying to replicate this technique, with my LONG femurs and short torso.
@@FreedomFighters89 dont squat like this if you have long femurs and short torso, pretty bad advise is this imo your knees need to go forward to stay more upright its perfectly healthy for your knees
I knew Ying was from China because of his T-shirt. Matt this is a great step up from shark week. Please pull in some characters from 80’s pro wrestling!!
There is no way I can have vertical shins in a squat my leg are over 60% of my height my torso would be parallel to the ground. Im 6ft my fiancée 5”7 she like 3inches taller than me sitting down
@@JesseBurnette2D assuming he advises vertical shins for raw lifter, the issue is this negates quad contribution. Also saying that knees shouldn't go over toes does not take individual anthropometry into account. Raw low bar squats will put most people's knees about an inch over their toes, give or take..
@@JesseBurnette2D The version Matt advocates is very easy on the knees, since the moment force is directed onto the hips. Raw is going to have your knees go forward/out while sitting back. Both versions will have the bar over mid foot. Difference will be torso lean and resulting hip/knee angles. Not sure why Matt says "notice how vertical his spine stays" because he's actually very leaned over.... which is necessary to keep the bar over mid-foot if you're going to squat with vertical shins and a greater sit back
@@WenningStrength Don't get me wrong, not saying what you advocate hasn't worked for you. What do you think of the low bar squat Starting Strength teaches?

Underated channel. I know everyone want to get their big 3 total stronger. But can you do a vid on overhead pressing. OHP seems to get forgotten about
Matt isn’t a big fan of overhead pressing.
Brian Alsruhe has some great stuff on it too
Matt does not recommend doing OHP at all.

Hey Matt, how many degrees of external rotation of the feet do you recommend? Should femoral anti version/retro version dictate foot placement?
Great conversation for patreon 🔥

you deserve many more views sir. thank you so much for the amazing content.
Maybe one day when ppl actually help by sharing 💪💪
What is a good way to make sure you are going just below parallel without a spotter or camera?
Different for everyone
The sternum high position is contradictory ... I mean Chris Duffin always suggests that sternum high position is weaker that’s why he prefers the ribs down position in squatting...
Cool look at his squat numbers in competition and mine 🔥🔥. Have a good day
@@WenningStrength thanks for the reply man🙏🏼
I also feel it good on my lower back when doing it your way ... as I have a back injury also.
I have a question, I've been squating for a while now and i started to get pain in my knees. I checked my form multiple times and can't find any ques what am i doing worng, knees don't cave in, no leaning forward, full depth. Can anyone give me any advice?
Above the knee or below?
@@MB-mx7vz left one just below the knee cap and the right both over and below
same thing is happening with me. maybe I'm flaring out my toes too much.
@forwatchingu2ubeclip i thought its because i progressed too fast squat. Will try to rest properly and do exercises that don't irritate my knees. Thanks for the help
Point your toes outward, 45 degree angle instead of parallel. Make sure you're pushing your ass out and keep your knees level with your heels.
True squats are high bar.
A proper high bar squat to depth has much more benefits than a powerlifting squat with heavier weights.
Ahhh tell us more!!!! How much do you squat???
@@WenningStrength I just think it's not always the numbers we should chase.
A well executed high bar squat to depth has so many benefits (generall strength, mobility, hypertrophy, carry over to other lifts..).
But what about body types? Yeng has short femurs thats why he can squat with his shins staying straight. I got injured in the begining bcs I was trying to replicate this technique, with my LONG femurs and short torso.
What kind of injury?

I have long femurs and I squat exactly like this. If you have a strong posterior chain and hips the likelihood of you getting injured is very low.
@@andrewclarke3044 everybody has a perfect technique with 2 plates...
@@FreedomFighters89
dont squat like this if you have long femurs and short torso, pretty bad advise is this imo your knees need to go forward to stay more upright its perfectly healthy for your knees
So 90 degrees is fine we don’t necessarily need to go ass to grass?
Ipf yes go ass to grass. Powerlifting is top of the knee below crease of the hip
China is a very strong and competitive country in weightlifting 💪 🇨🇳
Why does the bar on the right side comes forward more than the left while descending?
Skateboard shoes or sandels.
People trip out when i use sandels for some reason tho
