This video is where all lower back hyperextension issues in the squat should end. It is the only video where the exact causes and fixes are addressed by none other than JP. Thank you for your knowledge on this.
This is the key. I found this pattern too, more by "mistake", but it took me ten years of trial and error. Wish i had seen your video before. Awesome. No more lower back pain since doing it like this. No PT tells you this.
Hmmmm, not likely, but butt wink can be caused by lack of hip stability, this is also normally prevalent in though complaining of knee pain, so potentially. If you need some advice on form/ technique don't hesitate to email us, happy to help! melbstrengthculture@gmail.com
Good video, I've got one question though. JP mentioned that the hamstrings shouldn't be a major mover in the squat. It seems like there is some disagreement on this. Rippetoe advises "hip drive" which intentionally brings the hamstrings into the movement. So my question is, why not pull in as many muscle groups as possible? Doesn't more muscle involved mean more weight lifted?
perhaps i can help with this, Rippletits says the stretch in the hamstrings helps out of the hole, but the contraction of the hamstrings themselves causes knee flexion (to some degree) and that opposies the action your Quads are doing during the squat, which is knee extention, this is why the role of the hamstrings in active hip extention is limited. meanwhile, you've got glutes that do not oppose the actions of the quads, so they are the primary muscle involved in hip extention. about what ripetitties said, it could be true, your hamstrings could be stretched to evoke a faster, springier ascent out of the hole, their actual contraction is limited by their antagonistic action to the quads
That makes sense. Seems like relying on tight hamstrings out of the hole might cause you to try to maintain your hip angle while opening the knee angle and resulting in a good morning squat.
www.strongerbyscience.com/hamstrings-the-most-overrated-muscle-for-squat-2-0/ Have a read of this link! Extending out of the hole in order to put tension into the hamstrings is a definite weakness that needs to be addressed. Extending reduces your ability to create pressure in your abdomen, puts the anterior hip capusle in a compromised position as well as your facet joints. Hopefully this helps!
This video is gold. I have seen all tutorials on squats on TH-cam probably and none of it address this flexed lumbar spine while squatting properly

This is the 7th video I watched about butt wink, but the first that actually made sense and led me to consistently get no butt wink. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!

What a fantastic video. Good job guys. Best on TH-cam
Appreciate it!
Awesome information. Was really helpful!
So helpful!! Thanks guys!!
Very useful video. I have pain in my right quad just above the knee and just below the kneecap (front). Could butt wink be causing this?

Owen Madaeen hope that helps!
thanks! i was referencing this article when i said the hammies are limited in their role in the squat
i kinda have the opposite of buttwink, as in my low back extends and then unextends on way back up, any ideas?
Find a neutral spine from the top of the squat and do your best to maintain it on the way down
Xiphoid to pubis 🙌 best cue ever. Cheers JP
holy fk. never knew JP was so small
lukeceravolo I'll let him know!
U meant which part...
you are more encouraging buttwink throughout the movement squat pattern
