Awesome thanks

This video definitely helps I feel like my butt rises faster but definitely want to get better squat form I’m just paranoid of hurting my back but I probably need to keep my back straight if I’m not mistaken I’m a beginner at squats

[@WtbgoldBlogspot]

Don't remember where I heard it, but someone said that for people who squat toes-forward, screwing into the floor is a useful cue. But for those who squat toed out, spreading the floor works better. I wanna say it was an EliteFTS cue?

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Spread the floor, I find, tends to have people roll their weight to the outside of the foot and lose full foot pressure. I avoid that cue for that reason.

Great video. As someone who has a 500lb deadlift and can barely squat 350lb, my posterior chain really likes to take over i feel. Need to do some more specific quad work and try some of these cues

[@anindachatterjee1825]

Holy fuck u can dead 500 but cant 350 squat ?

That's me Well my deadlift was 222.5kg and squat 170kg 😂 That 50kg gap is a little too big for my liking

[@derrickhobbs8842]

Great video! I just subscribed, too. Thank you! Also, #Juggernauttrainingsystem could you do this same style of video for the Dead-lift?

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Thanks. It will be out in a couple weeks.

[@Dsferradaz]

thank you for this video do the same for deadlift please

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Its on the way

[@ktreid112]

I tried tip #1 the other day (tightening the upper back) and it was so helpful-I felt so much stronger while squatting. Thank you!

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Glad to hear it

[@SimoH]

@@JuggernautTrainingSystems Same here, the upper back tip was new to me and very helpful. Made my PR using that. Great videos!

[@gibbygordo]

I can’t even grab the bar. I’ve been using straps until I can get my shoulder mobility worked out

[@atenas80525]

QUESTION - you talked about a difference between squat and deadlift performance - is there a rule of thumbs as to how close they should be? At what level do you recognize an imbalance? Thanks!

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Depends on bodyweight generally, as well as body proportions. Superheavyweights will typically squat 2-5% more than their Deadlift, with lightweights deadlifting 6-10% more than their squat and middlweights between that. Beyond that range would be some imbalance. Learn more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIaVmJ2mhcimlbs

[@scannon90]

Thanks, I've been powerlifting for 17 years and I still got something out of this video. I blame Dave Tate for my shortcomings.😜

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

rightfully so

[@gugoose]

Whenever I see the tight back setup its usually always demo'd on a girl. It would be lovely to have mobility like that but not many men do especially anyone carrying muscle on their upper bodies. It would be refreshing to see a video for set up positions for bigger guys who haven't a snowballs chance in hell of achieving the positions the girls can.

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

We coach it to be 'as close as your shoulder mobility allows' which should be pretty universal. Your hands aren't going to be as close to your body as Marisa's are in this video but the idea of as close as your shoulder mobility can tolerate, squeezing the upper back together and squeezing the elbows together will still all hold true.

[@xxcrysad3000xx]

Is it a major problem if my elbows are way behind my torso when I am doing low-bar backsquats? Like, the angle of my humerus to my torso is probably 35-45 degrees, whereas I see a lot of lifters with their elbows far more in line with their torso throughout the movement? It doesn't give me discomfort, I just wonder if it's a problem for strength optimization.

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

For a lot of people, that angle you're describing will lead to the torso tipping forward but if you don't feel that happening, not a huge issue.

[@nikitavedeneev]

Thank you very much for this informative video! I would probably also mention the "butt-wink" that could be the result of poor ankle mobility and or the lack of proper ankle warm-up. Maybe it is not that common in seasoned bar squaters, but sure was that the case for me and my partner, and we are quite active albeit new to using barbells.

[@atenas80525]

QUESTION - lady's hands are close in, when man is doing the squats at 5:09, his hands are far out - is that just a difference in upper body mobility? My squat is most comfortable with my hands all the way out, is that something I need to fix? Thanks!

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Yes, just upper body mobility difference. We advocate to squat with hands as close as your shoulder mobility allows.

[@sherryemiller]

I was going to say, my hips rise early when I get heavier cause my posterior chain takes over for my quads. 😢

[@dawidbober9564]

Whenever I try to apply more preasure on the big toe and do the "screwing the floor" cue it feels like I can't even squat half way down without losing balance. Could you please tell me what might be causing that? I'm 6'6 ft with long legs, short torso, very strong glutes and I always fall forward arround halfway down.

Really can’t say without seeing
