[@sanidheykharbanda4]

Guilty of having a slow decent on my top sets out of fear. Gonna squat today in like an hour and a half . thanks for the vid!

[@ollianddelphine]

The tip on breathing into your lower back is genius. I can feel the difference straight away. Very helpful. Thanks.

[@flexl311]

wow..best new tips Ive heard in a while.. not the same old stuff. thanks!

[@thomaslahr9022]

Great advice on making the decent speed consistent. Gotta commit...

Hey Chad, just watched this video, then went and had one of the best squat days in a loong time. The breathing cue in particular was really helpful. Thanks for the tips!

[@Jorafa2011]

Great to see strong people explaining the basics with an empty bar. I do body weight squats and I've been pondering using weights. Most videos have people using huge discs that must weight way more than my body weight. At 44 I have to take it easy. Good job Chad.

Thanks for this, Chad. I am good on 1 & 3. I will start incorporating 2. I use slight posterior pelvic tilt coming out of the hole on squats and breaking the bar off the floor on sumo deadlifts already. I just haven't been setting the tilt while taking my breath.

Amazing tips, simply amazing, very helpful. These are typical mistakes I make. I know how to try to fix them after watching this vid. Cheers!

[@SomeoneMovement]

Really liked those tips! Will give them a try, thank you for the info.

[@definitiondom]

yup great info. breathing 360 works for me...thats my mistake is not using that rebound on the bottom

[@Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the great video, thumbs up.

[@MKzasekogas]

Breathing 360 is simply tight posterior pelvic tilt.

Great vid, thanks!

im some what hyper-mobile in my joints and have a pretty silly ROM in my shoulders, really seems to make me struggle with getting tight in the upper back for squats. Using a very narrow grip too. Maybe just something i need to practice more

[@mattlee8902]

Hey man just out of curiosity, is there kind of meaning behind the hammer and sickle. Lol. Are users of the cube method trying to bring the soviet union back or some shit

[@mjvlo59]

Why do some people have a really wide grip when they squat (hands pretty much touching the plates)? I feel holding the bar that wide would diminish back tightness.

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Because of a lack of shoulder mobility. Close hands is superior for maintaining upper back tension

[@manuelbanos3222]

Should one adopt the circumferential breathing technique when doing back squats without a belt, or is it belt specific? I've been taking my breath using my diaphragm and expanding my belly outward, as seen here: How to Breathe Properly During Squats

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

expand through the back. pushing just the abs forward will put you into extension. brace a neutral spine

My brother's name is also Chad and neither of you look like Will Ferrell.
