    Since i force my knees out my hips feel better. Ive never forced my knees out and just let em go straight up and down but this wasnt good for one leg..my right started to cave a lil bit and everything has gotten worse over the past years..started to develop knee pain, gait issues , horrible daily knee pain on my right leg..no one really knew where it came from....and ive been visiting 5 different Physical therapists in the past 3 years...but i am pretty sure its just the Technique you practice make or break a lift...forcing my knees out felt really strange in the beginning - like having O-Legs, really weird but im on my way to finally recover my 5 year knee pain on the right side..PS. I guess ive never forced my knees out because i thought its bad or it feels strange but it does work until now

      Firstly, you (or anyone else) could just skip around to the next part of the video once you already understand the gist of what you’re supposed to do and how to perform the movement/stretch. Secondly, this video is made to be able to give you a maximal amount of information to help optimize your squat to your highest potential. All of this information in this video is amazing and very necessary. I get that humans usually have short attention spans; however, it’s not Aaron’s fault that there is a lot that goes into an optimal warm up routine. He’s given you a large list of what you can do - you do not have to do ALL of it. This shouldn’t even take you that much more than 10-15 mins to do it once you figure out which stretches work best for you.
      If you really want to be the best lifter that you can be, then you’ll watch the majority of the video. There’s 24 hours in a day - surely you have enough time to watch most of it. I know this is a long comment and I don’t think you were necessarily trying to be demeaning or negative...but it came off pretty ignorant and ungracious.

  • @scottwilson4798
    @scottwilson4798 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Or you could save yourself a whole bunch of time and just, yeno.... squat? Bodyweight, empty bar til warm, add weight incrementally to working weight. These over the top methods are making a special problem out of nothing.

    • @lukeseropian
      @lukeseropian 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lmao wait a second...do you think all of this is just some pseudoscience mumbo jumbo that doesn’t even work or something? All of these movements do help your squat out tremendously if done correctly and religiously. I started doing them many months ago, and it had helped out my squat quite a bit. I was already squatting in the 500’s before I saw it, but I had subpar ankle mobility and a couple imbalances within my posterior chain and my calves. After spending some time on the majority of these movements, I very quickly became a much more efficient squatter. And I’ve been squatting/lifting heavy since 2016. You are right - you don’t technically HAVE to do all of these movements. You can just do what you proposed; however, you aren’t optimizing your potential and performance by just doing the bare minimum. If you don’t really care to get the most out of your workouts and prevent injuries at all costs, then fine...don’t do it. But for the people who really care about stuff like this, it’s almost imperative you use all of these techniques/stretches to your advantage.
