How did you guys like this style of video? It’s more VLOG than my usual videos - do you want to see more like this?
I liked it, very informative. I see SquatUniversity, I click, I watch. :)
That was fun!
Yes sir!
Yes¡
Much more like this!!
1x20 is never fun. Around 14 or 15 you’re talking to God. By 18 He’s talking to you !
Hahahaha 😂
Buddy this isn't just 1x20. This is 1x20 @ 214% body weight, and as a woman.
🤣
So you mean you get brain damage and start to halucinate? God is fake
Feels like your spine's gonna snap and your heart's gonna explode
WAIT, WHAT?!?!? You train Mirabai and provide all this content for free? My man, you are the REAL legend. Of course I understand NOTHING compares to your personal attention and training but I thank you from the bottom of my heart to put this content out that is only going to help people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

20 reps with over x2 bodyweight is Elite level!!!
Which is why she is going to the olympics
i could easily do 20x100kg

For those of you who don't know about her, she's like 4'10". Not much of a size, but pound for pound one of the best among the female athletes.
She reminds me of this girl at my gym petite and only at 4’11 squatting 200lbs I’m always super impressed
The final few reps felt as intense as giving birth to twins.
Woww
circa twice your body weight for 20 reps is incredible
stop saying crica incorrectly its cringe af
Yes circa is normally used for an approximate date. If you are going to be a pedant you might use correct English yourself

Soon to be 'Olympic gold medalist' Chanu Mirabai. Amazing to see her in action! ❤ From New Zealand
Great athlete but considering where the competition stands, a medal is unlikely this time at Paris 2024.
Which country she's from

20 reps but she seriously was grinding them out after the first 5. That was phenomenal. She was moving into blackout territory
Bro I got so emotional seeing her set, started to get teary eyed seeing a girl my size be so strong 😮😮😮 badass!!!
God! You are so pretty if thats really you on the dp..
She is an olympic silver medalist in weightlifting fyi
Yeah definitely super jealous about her, her tiny size, the rep numbers and the weights shes squating. I'd stoked if I could squat that much of my weight x20, or even 100 kg itself would be very sweet.
@@invaderg3332 This is great but her form during the last 2-3 reps was not as good as the first 10. You can't do 20x 100 kgs? Depends on how much time and effort you've given it. IF you train from age 13 and this is all you do - not v difficult. You could beat Pete Rubish or Larry Wheels. Those are great targets. Some one with a different profession doing this would be far more difficult. I once saw a Google SE squat 120 kgs for 10 reps. Of course, dude was abt 200lbs. Still commendable.
She's not any girl. She's an Olympic silver medalist.
Mirabai “Gold Medalist “ Chana 🥇 in 168 days!
I wish so, but Chinese athletes in her weight division are crazy strong.
It's Chanu btw!
Great athlete but considering where the competition stands, a medal is unlikely this time at Paris 2024.
2 hours now🥲
@@ShiftySkunkshe came really close
wow... proper hard core... so cool seeing an Olympian lifter getting in the zone and 'setting up' - totally inspiring 💥
Thanks for training with our Chanu Mirabai❤
Man, that was tough but Mirabai is a beast
5:40. No lifting shoes and double body weight for 20 is unbelievable
It is very impressive, but why exactly did you point out her not wearing the lifting shoes? They only help lifters with poor ankle mobility. She clearly doesn’t need them.
@@abc-qe9xq if they only help lifters with poor mobility why do all weightlifters wear them. they aid atg squats hugely so it was even harder to do those 20 reps bare footed
and without a belt which is more crazy to me
@@scottessery100because if im not mistaken, they have to wear some sort of footwear when lifting. So the obvious choice is weightlifting shoes, as they aid with mobility and possibly better foot-feeling.
@@abc-qe9xqhonestly bear foot is the best way to squat
I take a shot every time Dr Aaron says McGill Big 3. The internet is a bit slow here in rehab
Inspirational! Go for gold girl. Thanks for sharing the McGill big 3 program doc.
All the best for Paris Olympics 2024. Kangleipak ki Mamom Athoibi 🙏🏻
I could see her pushing hard on rep 4. Impressive she did 20
Thanks for all your help teaching us how to rehab our bodies correctly and lift in proper form
There are no words describing how insane is an over 2x bw squat for 20 reps lol. Truly a world class athlete.
I've been doing the mcgill 3 for months after I hurt my back. I was thinking i had to progress them to something harder, so it was informative to see an elite athlete incorporating them as is into a warmup.
absolutely absurd never of strength....no wonder she's an olympian
I just did 165kg for 20 today and got this recommended. Awesome work by Mirabai. Try this if you wanna speak to almighty directly.
Lol you wish
Imagine lying in TH-cam comments 💀
Okay
@@stayflykingplz upload video of u doing 165kg
Congrats Mirabai! I am gonna be rooting for you at the Olympics :)
Superb!, I was holding my breath with her and rooting from this side.
I bet she felt amazing knowing she could and she did.
India’s pride! ❤
I was out of breath just by watching. Mirabai Chanu is absolutely amazing! And Dr. Horschig - excellent content as usual.
Wat was the weight though
She's got grit good luck to her
What a machine.. this woman !!!!!! 👏 👏
she is strong and the level she is in shows how hard she worked and to get there thanks for helping her she is a pride of our country.
This is such a goldmine of information. I really appreciate you sharing it with us. I'd love to come work for you in Indiana. My focus with my clients has been mobility and I'm constantly inspired by you and the athletes you work with. Her squat set was incredible.
Would love to see a breakdown of the program you made for her
He needs to keep making money. Trade secrets. Probably not going to happen.
Same. I think there are programs available for working up to a 20 rep squat, but usually it's not for people who are building up to a PR/single. But what do I know 😀
he did now
Love the video but everyone should have a safety in the squat rack in case they pass out when squatting.
Damn, that was impressive 👏!!! Being a 195 lbs man back then, I felt proud for doing 30 reps with 110kg, but watching her now doing this, considering her body weight, I have to rethink my performance! 😅
I love your videos but please stop with the reaction thumbnails
How about some reaction fingernails?
🖕🤓🖕
All the best for paris Olympics ❤❤❤
This is great!! A training video with an elite athlete and an equally elite trainer! Thanks
Am I the only one who thinks that her knees are all over the place?
She cant keep her technique with that weight. I guess she can lift it but the technique could lead to injury of a leg flexor...
Yes. You're the only one.
Wish you all the best Mirabai! That is reall hard work and you have such a good coach/coaches
Please help!!
I had an injury while playing basketball and suddenly it felt like something snapped in my left leg's hamstring, as if hamstring muscles detached from bone or something. I get the pain when I do activities like running etc, it's been for 4 months now.
This pain comes back when I do one leg hip raises or glute bridges.
Can anyone help how to get rid of it and build strong hamstrings to play ball again.
Living in a capitalist immoral market economy, you are showing this just like a random Collab vlog..You are a gold medalist bite to train the Olympians.
Is Squat University based in St. Louis?!?! Am I actually live in the same city with all these years watching his real and hoping I can get his help with my lift.
Thank you, now I know how I should do those 3 sets of 8-12. I found here example of how to breath&when it's good time to stop and get fresh air.
Hi squat university I just want to ask why hip banded mobilization can't help my hip impingement even with a lot of pressure with the band,. sometimes I feel some of my ligament is clicking while i perform banded mobilizatio, what should i do to fix my hip impingement?
Hi,
I cannot squat, I have two herniated discs.
What can I do instead?
I already do bodyweight lunges and squat.
Trying do bodyweight squat one leg at a time from a raised platform if you can.
Great warm up tips, thanks for sharing! Is her left knee tipping in an issue? I find mine doing that when I'm near max effort.
Inspirational stuff, superior mental toughness right there, let's see more 👍💪
Man, imagine squatting 16-17 reps of more than double your body weight at the end of the leg day
I'm such a big fan of her! She is one of the very few in recent olympics that I tuned in to watch. She is a freak of nature, she has Alien strength. 😍
I’ve tried this before it is not nice. The fact she was using over 2x her body weight I take my hat off to her. Around 12 breathing becomes tough
She’s my new hero!
Today is her olympic match in 3 hours from now, i am watching this video, I hope she wins the Gold medal this time.
I've had ACL reconstructions in both knees over the years, and the only leg exercise I could get on with was back squats. I also find higher reps much more beneficial, so I used to do 3 sets of 20 reps on the back squat. I'd dread leg day each week, as I knew it was going to be brutal! At 100kg bodyweight, I'd start with 100kg doing 3x12, then the following week 3x13, and so on, adding a rep each week. Once I could do that weight easily for 3x20 for a couple of weeks, I'd add 10kg on each side. The best I got up to was 3x20 with 160kg on a number of cycles, but invariably one of my knees would play up, or my back would seize, as I've also got a crushed disc low down, so I'd have to back off and start again. I'd seriously have to have my head together to get through those workouts as it was savage! Highly recommended though, for the whole body!
168 days before the competition is the last workout?
"worlds most difficult squat workout" and then shows warmup and 1 set of squats -_- Tom Platz is definitelly laughing now
This is a quality video. You're one of the best on TH-cam good sir, please keep it up.
Inspirational woman!! 💪🏾🏋🏾♂️
Love the video 👌🏾
I need those glute warm-ups! I'm working on building glute muscles, they are very weak and hard for me to engage. Her feet look amazing during the moves- they are anchored in! I'm still working on that too.
Is it real? My gosh. Absolutely GOAT
That was incredbily inspiring. I am able to do 1.5x body weight for 8 reps and I feel at the end what she felt
My Quads hurt after watching this. Unreal from her
First of all i wanna start by saying, I love ur videos. Everytime i have a problem with my body i can watch your content and find ways to get moving again. But yesterday I had a patelar dislocation (while grappling), but it slipped right back in place. Now i woke up and my knee is a little sore and i dont have the pain free range of motion i used to have. I know ur a busy guy and definitely have better things to do. But is there any advice you can give that would make my knee healthy again?
Those knees barely caved in… 🙏 such a star… thank you so much
I have been doing the McGuill 3 and my back pain has disappeared. I was dealing with that pain for years doctor just pain killer
All the best for the Olympics, Mirabai Chanu. Thank you for the countless hours of hard work you've put in. We love you🙌🏼 🫡
Thanks for this amazing training to our Chanu. She will win a medal in paris 2024
Lots of love from India, as the nation is still coming up the curve in various Olympic sports, this is close to heart!
She was amazing!! Gave me hope for myself. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Are you a weight lifter also ?
I am double the weight and can do half that for a fourth of the reps. I need to start working.
Proud of her. I wish we have more medals for India!

20 rep squats are incredible… and horrific
bro 20 reps of 231 pounds .. at ANY body weight is impressive , at her weight it’s thanos level
Wow, dedication and damn good coaching. Blown away.
What’s the goal of training with such high rep ranges? Muscular endurance comes to mind, but for an Olympic weightlifter you would think strength and power would be paramount. I’m not saying this is wrong I just want to understand the rationale.
I can’t think of any activity more intense than high rep squats, I literally pray that I survive the single set (BW x 30 reps).
The side plank is a little too much for my shoulders as they fatigue much earlier. I remedied this by supporting some of the top load with the top arm (like an adjusted racked bar or pulley) and the bottom arm is extended with hand on the floor (1 min ea side). The target muscles work just as much, all the same, and for a more intense variation you can lift the top leg.
Wow 😮 1x20 at a challenging weight is tough. She just did double her bodyweight!! Like a champ! ELITE
Seeing Mirabai prep for greatness is a pleasure and your training has taught me so much.. Thank you so much sir. I would really like the chance to meet you and Mirabai. Just a request from a major fan.
do you have anything to say regarding people who suffer from flat trochlea?
What exercises to avoid, which to do?
Friggin Beast!!! more than double bodyweight for 20 reps with no belt or wraps.... I'd have to do 450 for 20 in order to match this....nope.
Firstly, nobody told me you did anything except Shorts. When did this start? I’m loving it.
Secondly, that’s the first time in years I’ve heard any sound from Meera’s mouth!
And then 20 squats in a row? Nah, I am done after 6 mate. I’m going home.
She’s amazing!
What a motivation 💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 she is incredible thank you for this video. Now I want to push further! (No worries will not attempt anything like this 😂😂😅)
Also, love her set up! Think I may try this as we’re the same height.
Edit: no knee sleeves…no iron clad belt 😳💜 oh, she’s bad bad!!!
6:30
Hams/quads: Yo back, we done servicing this ego lifting, can you take over?
Back: You say as if I have a choice? 😢
Now that's squatting! Full range of motion for functionality.
Thank you for all your teaching and training, Doc!! I follow each and every of your videos religiously!! I hope that you can do a collab with Coach Vijay Sharma to incorporate his coaching methods and your methods to maximize results!!
2 things:
1. she doesn't have on a belt or weightlifting shoes why?
2. I haven't seen your material on someone with lower back issues such as a bulging disc and how they can continue to deadlift, squat or anything like that. I have seen McGill and his information, but nothing from you and I have been watching since the channel just started with those garage looking videos.
I have Hip pain everytime I play basketball (the day after playing). It is in front of the hip and it doesnt hurt when I squat. It actually hurt for me to walk 😢 a simple walk.. 😢😢 im so sad about it…
I play this every time I need to motivate clients (and myself) through that final push. Works like a charm!!
Can't do barbell squats because of lower back issues, what do you think about the belt squats?
You might need to be more specific about what your “lower back issues” are and what movements you are able to perform without pain.
I used to think this guy uses Mirabai Chanu's clips for getting views from India. No way he is training her😅
She is a freaken weapon !!! I wisĥ you well on this journey
我很想知道，为什么要进行2倍体重20次的深蹲，训练的目的是什么？如果是最大力量，那么应该在2-5RM，如果是肌肉耐力，应该是40-60%1RM的20次，难道说是为了增加肌肥大还是说一种休息日的特殊挑战？
I’d be stuffed after the warm up lol. Now I’m gonna try 20x105 @100kg BW lol
Now we don't even have facilties for weight lifting... Akhade pehle idhar baney theyy par 😢😢😢😢. Lagta hai agle 10 saal baad coaching ke liye wrestlers bhi bahar jayenge 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Looks like 7/13 7 front squat followed by 13 back squat 4 rounds
I'm pretty prone to leg fatiguing too early. I might lowkey throw this in once a week for a month or two to see if it helps. Then I can just do pulls, front squats, or overhead squats across the rest of the week.
Your unbelievable! Super human! I love watching a strong woman it is so inspiring!
now I know that I as a 105kg pretty well trained male can almost squat as much as a 49kg female olympian 💩
