STOP doing your SQUATS like this!

- Alright quick tip, whenever you're squatting, don’t just think of turning your toes outwards for the sake of it, cuz most likely your knees will either point straight forward or start to cave in which isn’t efficient for the lift. Instead, think of pointing your knees outwards by laterally rotating your hips to fully engage your glutes. That way, your knees travel in the direction of your toes, and you’re able to produce as much force as possible.
I hope that helps and subscribe for more lifting tips! #Gym #Shorts

i like how everyone nowadays is a fitness expert and as soon as you scroll in the comments they're showing you a reffaral...
The true king of fitness advice is Athlean-X, at least he doesn't try to sell you something every.single.goddamn.time
@@river-left4dead2 i mean he IS a king thats no discussion, but to be fair he does try to sell his proggram everz single time.. :D
What about tips for ppl with a weak right hip & painful calf?
@@river-left4dead2 I heard he was 🍑
Best advice I ever read was to jump once or twice. Then look at your feet. Your body subconsciously knows what is best for biomechanics. This "jumping" stance is pretty close to where I place my feet when I squat.
I fully agree. Another approach is to look at your feet, and most everyone will notice that there's no screws or nails or other metal parts that tightly lock the feet down into position. Allow your feet to adjust to the movements of the hips and knees, just like as it would happen when you jump once or twice.
Kneesovertoes channel covers all kinds of knee/leg/total body injuries and rehab/prehab. Great resource. Ben Bruno has T-Nation articles on unilateral leg training to even out imbalances.
@bro another vote for kneesovertoes guy
Or your jump is fucked as well and now you're squatting stupidly as well
Lol your body doesn't "subconsciously know what is best", your legs just go to their neutral position because there's nothing holding them in place.
I wish I liked squatting as much as deadlift and bench
Honestly same. I don’t enjoy squats, I’ve just been doing leg press and hack squats instead
i wish i could deadlift as much as i squat
@@stn6408 Opposite here. New to the gym and can deadlift 290lbs, squat is probably around 135 ;( plus my form isn't good and I don't want to injure myself
@@rhoaias9429 fr bro I like all three but am pretty weak on bench and it’s my least favorite
I quit benching and deadlifting after covid but i still enjoy squatting idk why xD. For chest i just do dumbell press and for back rows, but can't replace squats :p
Your Quads are insane bro 😮💨
Those quads! You need to post a leg day workout routine.
As opposedly as his calves
@@AndresFelipe0402 I bet they're still better than yours!
Pretend you’re standing on a large piece of paper and you’re trying to rip it apart with your legs 🦵
I feel like there's two types of people when it comes to understanding instructions
Does it work with yellow or green paper?
Better yet, pretend like you're standing on two large screws, and you're trying to screw them out by turning your feet; your knees should remain aligned with your toes, of course, but the screwing tension is necessary due to how the hip joints power the legs through torque.
ass cue.
Wow, this really helps! Thanks for the comment.
When I train people, I find that they generally don't have the mental connection or mobility to be able to open up their groin naturally. Getting them to consciously open up their groin is just as important as being conscious about the knees at first. I teach what I call the "break", in which I get them to stand naturally, then, without moving their feet at all, point their knees out as far as they can. This forces them to have to think about opening their groin as much as possible. Once they have built this mental connection, I find that they have much less problems with knee tracking and caving, as they feel much less restricted
Wow what an awesome cue you've developed for ur clients! I love this!! 💪🏽
Dammit, I've been doing them all wrong trying to keep my feet straight. Thanks man!
Bruh same
guilty..
It only really matters which one feels more comfortable to you
You should still try to keep your feet relatively straightforward. If they turn outward too much (10-30 degrees of turnout is optimal for most people, depending on pelvic anatomy), then it becomes more difficult to produce rotation from the hip, keep the knees properly aligned with the toes, and create a stable and arched foot. Over time, you might even find your mobility improves by working toward this, even if you can’t do this right away.
@@spencergsmith I got weird legs so when I feel like my knees are pointed inwards my feet are actually pointed outwards. Feels strange but doesn't stop me from doing hella squats lolol
Bro it made a huge changes, my legs don't feel awkward anymore. Thanks.
I think you just saved a lot of peoples knees. Thank you 🙏
Accidentally hit the link.. So clear and concise, quick as you like.. Good Channel
Jokes on you I'm bow-legged my knees are always pointing out LOL
its all good
Wow! Thanks dude!
Awesome tip!!!! Such a clear and concise way of explaining it.
Great! I'm doing like that! Thanks for good video!
Dude thank you for this my whole life I was led to believe that proper form was toes and knees pointing forward and for that reason I've avoided doing squats because I always get pain and I've always wanted to do them like this but didn't because I thought I was going to hurt myself. Now I have a knee that always ends up hurting whenever I do anything too intense with it, hopefully I can fix it by training with it properly now.
Just varying hip morphology init
Maybe rest for a bit before starting again but properly. Also ask someone who knows what they are talking about if maybe you have an actual injury that won’t just heal on its own, just to be safe.
Can’t be sure with a lot of the doctors etc as lots are really not useful these days and know what they are talking about, at least in England
Try squating once , stay in position and lift your heels. Maintain that position. That's what my doctor told me to do 'cause i have really bad knees. Like this , you don't overuse your knees and you still get the workout
@@kimdupont3731 thanks bro
@@DanSung2021 you're welcome! If i can help someone , why not?😋
Great tip 👍🏾
Thanks bro no one told me this. I think this is going to be safe for my knees as they hurt when I squat
Great tip!!! Thanx
I just wana say this shit changed my life thank u
Shut up
@@theillest2686 You too
thanks!! i needed this
Best tip for bodyweight squats : Do what feels comfortable for you and if they teach you a "weird" weighted squat form that you cant balance with then dont do it. We all have different anatomy , so do what feels comfortable
thats not right at all..
@@brianhenriques7085 It is right. You on too much weeds and steroids that you can't even tell that everyone is built different? Just go smoke more weed ya :)
@@ltk7309 I agree. I got hurt trying to do these internet guys pull ups. They said I wasn’t doing them right. I was never hurt and it worked for me. Now I partially tore a ligament or something and haven’t done pull ups in almost a year and doubt I will ever be able to do them again. Thanks internet form instructors
@@ltk7309 you're wrong
@@eh5872 how do you know it was cus you did those pull-ups? And tbh you most likely did the excercise wrong, you're one of those people that spend more time tryna find vids with tips for quick muscle growth than actually working out, I know this cus a serious person would never blame their injuries on other people
stg i love these yt dudes. thanks man
Nice one kid, you know more than most adults
Its these kinds of quick tricks and tips that really help
Yeah, the external hip rotation is key, especially for old dudes with diminished mobility. Not that I know anything about that… 😒
😒😒😒
I needed this. Thanks
Depends on what muscles you're targeting and how much weight you're using. This video is good for handling heavier weights and focusing on hip flexors mainly. Knees pointing forward and narrower stance hits mostly muscles around the knee therfore limiting the amount of weight used
It’s not about narrow stance. It’s about knee caving. You can have a narrow stance without knee cave, and vice versa. Narrow stance isn’t bad for our knee but knee cave does. Knee cave doesn’t work your quad better but only shift more tension on the tendons inside your knee.
the risk of narrow stance with barbell squats outweights the benefits imo. Would rather just do narrow stance leg press or narrow stance hack squat. Much better risk to reward ratio
This has helped so much. I can get a deeper squat doing this and my knee doesn't hurt. Thank you!
Squatting is my fav thing to do, however i experienced knee aches in the beginning too. I started pointing my knees further outwards and now its gone
Are you lacking hip IR?
@@sydneyd689 what is hip IR? Also my knees don’t hurt anymore, my form is now really good according to some other guys
@@benvinke6141 internal rotation
You can do both. The more your legs are open, the more of the inner leg muscles are exercised, and thus, making this range important and necessary to stir your routine up as to not remain doing the same thing over and over.
Never thought about this… thanks!!!
I just wanna take a moment yo thank you , u were helping me performing exercises much better. Hope one day ill have a body like yours 💪🤞.
will try this out
When I started rotating my knees outward(like he did in video) squaring just felt much more natural(less tendon popping when I squared down)
Its squats.🤣
Thanks. Needed this tip
the part with moving your knees into the same direction of the feet is true, but theres no need to actually move them outwards to begin with.
this is actually good advice
A while back I was doing the first variation which made my knees hurt and then I finally realised why and corrected my form
Thanks bro just about to do some and needed advice professional that is
Just focus on gripping the floor , eventually you will get a full outer rotation of your hips and fully engage your glutes . You dont need to focus on knees out because most people lost balance because they dont grip their feet first . Balance always comes first. You lose the balance at your feet, whatever outer cues that you do in your squat does not work. I did not say this video is wrong , just the priorities.
Damn, I'm so core-focused that I never even think about this stuff but it makes so much sense to inform the movement pattern of a standing exercise from the ground up.
yeah it should always be feet then hips. Knees should move properly if those two are correct
Actually a good tip 👌
Abduction using gluteus medius is key. It’s more about actually using your muscles rather than just purely body positioning.
Great quick tip dude ❤️👍😎🙏
TYSM i have flat feet and could never really feel my squats
Squats really feel better now, thanks!
I don’t know you. But your quads say I can trust you 😂
This dude's legs are next level whoa
I did mine with my feet facing straight forward at shoulder width...thanks for the correction I'll give it a try
your feet can face forward. as long as your mobility allows without rounding your lower back and as long as your knees also travel forward.
You're a genius at explaining simple tips! Love it!
lmao I remember the time I was laughed at by my friends father for doing squats like this because "real squats" are legs together and feet and knees pointing forward (which is impossible for my body to do)
Nice teaching 👍🏼👍🏼
Maybe just the video’s angle, but it still seems your inclining rather far forward. I’d suggest keeping you back a bit more upright. A good way of doing so is imagining you’re sitting down (i.e. focus on your behind going down rather than your knees doubling which will happen automatically anyway). Also better for your knees.
THIS IS WELL EXPLAINED!!!! WOW!!!
What am I missing? I was always taught feet in a more neutral forward position.
That's a myth, read up on hip anteversion/retroversion and Craig's test. People have different angled femoral sockets which determines the 'correct' foot position for squats
Interesting information thank you SO much 🙂
"screw" your feet into the ground is my best tip to activate this. plant feet. press hard into ground and try and twist them outward. youll lock into the ground and knees will follow out as well.
screw feet is ass cue.
zero top powerlifter squats like this lmao
Congrats and keep up with those on point super short videos, not another 10 min video, whew
Best explanation I've heard. This is an old pro tip!
This is true.
By pointing your knees in the direction of your foot, you'll avoid injuries.
If you don't have a lot of musle on your legs this is really important.
When i first started exercising and did wide squats like he was in the biggining and my knee dilocated.
I'll have to deal with the affects for the rest of my life.
Be carefull out there.
Awesome, thanks!
great tip and demo
That’s actually super helpful. Thanks!
Thank you Max for sharing. I'm glad I did subscribe. Woohoo! 🙋♀️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanx very much this tip is very useful 😊
Thanks man! Great tip!
Ah, I get it now! Thank you!
Thanks I'll give this one a try.
You just answered my question. Thank you
Great tip.
Thanks for this 👍🏽
Actually needed this thank you brother
Thank you🤙
Great advice
Yo WAIIITTTT I actually have way more control if I turn my feet slightly outwards!! Thanks for the tip!
Great work
Thanks for the tip :)
Great quads
Perfect tip. Thank you
This video simply changed my life with squats! With this simple adjustment my bodyweight is now 100% on the heel with a much stronger squat and form
My whole life has changed
Thank you
Thanks for sharing
Peak form. Dude isn't letting his knees take the weight of a rest motion. Instead goes straight up from a pressured state.
I'm gonna be honest, after having seen hundreds of "don't do x like this" I thought it was going to be a bit clickbaity, but it's actually great advice and it was straight to the point, so thanks a lot!
Honestly needed this :) my knees cave in a lot and it’s made squatting my least favorite lift because it ends up hurting my knees. So will definitely think about this next time
GOOD VIDEO AS ALWAYS!!!!!
them legs are insane💪
gonna try it today.
Really useful in preventing hip impingement too
Omfg tyyyyy u literally just saved my knee from pain wtf!!
Shit I needed this
Thanks for this
This is so true, wish I had learned this years ago 🤔 great quads! 💯
This literally saved me, bless you son!
That makes a big difference! Phew!!
Nice quads mate !
Small adjustments make big difference
I wish i know this before😭😭 thanks for the tips
former skier here. the way they thought it at school was, imagine you have a sheet of paper between your two big toes. you don’t necessarily have to point them out too much but just imagine as if you’d want to rip the paper sheet with your toes. this should naturally produce a outward rotation of your knees.
and pls stay on your heels
thanks for the tip
