One of the most informative no BS channels left on YT. Seems like more and more channels have pivoted to be entertainment channels vs. lifting channels.

[@mathesonhood6236]

That thing you put behind your shins to ensure hamstring activation is brilliant.

[@Brownmumba8973]

1. Deadlift 2. RDLs with your calves pressed up against something 3. Good mornings (high reps) 4. Reverse back raise

Addressing weak points: My entire squat *pulls out notepad and pen

[@eyobmesfin8634]

I have learned a lot from you guys thanks.

[@David_Whitney]

For me it's a little diferent. Half way up I hit a point where my weight starts shifting into my quads. It's like I shift a little forward. I'm not talking about tipping forward. It doesn't effect my upper body. It's my hips and knees

[@Eugguy190722]

Spreading great information from people who actually lift. No emotion, just knowledge.

[@shiverr1337]

Great stuff! I'm also thinking to inculde kettlebell swings - that excercise always wores out my lower back way more efficient than deadlifts.

[@AliceRoques46]

Thanks again Juggernaut, very informative video, very helpful!! I've learned a lot with you!

[@stevenwoodruff5936]

HELL YEA! I plateaued at squats this last year and last week I was left wanting more and now this pops up right before squat day

[@charlesevanspope]

I squat more than i deadlift but I have a joint problem that doesn’t allow me to heavy deadlift. I can only high bar and front squat safely (high bar needs to be performed almost perfectly or I risk getting hurt). I do the Roman chair with weight on my back but there aren’t many other options for me to really develop my lower back. It sucks cuz I can never live up to my clean and snatch potential due to this.

How do you understand the chart at 1:35?

[@Funkaaaay]

This is showing you what the average person lifts in comparison to their bodyweight. So the average 83kg person will lift 86% of their bodyweight. Standard deviation is the spread from the average and is a statistical figure. This chart shows how people who are slightly above average (1 std deviation above) lift 90 of their bodyweight, while those who are slightly below average (1 std deviation below) lift only 81% of their bodyweight. Hope that helps even though its a year later lol.

[@placeholder8671]

​@@Funkaaaay 10 months later lol but you didn't listen to the video properly. The chart shows the average ratio of squat to deadlift for a person of a particular bodyweight, so for the average 83kg lifter, their squat should be 86% of the weight of their deadlift.

Aye Chad when will that shirt at 2:48 get back to the store?

[@drednac]

I am trying to figure out what's wrong with my squat. My best conv. deadlift is 180kg however my best squat is only something over 110kg (3 rep max) .. so there is something very wrong with my squat. I tried different stances (wide/narrow), I don't have a knee cave, I am not aware of having a butt-wink. I feel super weak at the bottom however after my knee angle gets over critical area just a little bit it's suddenly quite easy. I am planning to focus on paused/tempo squats but for me squats always felt terrible. I don't like squats. I was also thinking that maybe my femurs are too long or there is something wrong with my bone structure, but it doesn't seems to be way too obvious to tell right away. I had limited mobility up to age of 2 on my legs and hips (health reasons). Back in my "bodybuilding" days I was doing these terrible half-squats but I had much bigger quads and had no problems with the movement, everything kind of breaks down when I have to go low enough to reach standard depth.

[@HarlowVetsFan]

Inguinal hernia @ 5:00 ?

[@johnrobinson4445]

My current deadlift is 30% higher than my squat. So, I think I have the opposite problem. Elevated heels is beginning to solve it.

[@alexandertocco6687]

Quick question. Does anyone know if he means sumo or conventional deadlifts in that chart? Because I know most people pull more sumo

[@Chris-ie2yd]

My back to leg strength ratio is comletely fucked. Squat 1 RM is about 140 KG - Very deep ATG Squat tho Conventional Deadlift is about 230 KG and might even be able to push it to 240.

[@Laotzujm]

Great info, love the channel. How about strong back, quads, weak glutes. It is possible, my dead lift was over 315, leg press was 1,000 and my squat was barely 225, after many years of research I realized I was not getting proper glute activation. Once I was able to activate the glute then I had to work on strengthening them.

[@hippo6billion811]

I do 1000+ on the leg press but I use a wide stance on it maybe you just aren't standing wide enough, I have to go wide on deadlift to use my hips

[@yungtooli]

leg press doesnt mean shit

[@Top_Weeb]

[@McTreestump]

Interesting. My squat to deadlift ratio is ~0.72. (130/180) When I fail a squat I fail in place, my hips don't shift up, I just stop moving until I start going downwards again.

[@christiankocian2161]

If my squat is stuck at around 315 when I fail with the good morning squat appearing, but my deadlift is at around 425, could I still have a weak lower back? I do conventional deadlift

[@sidmichael1158]

Similar to good mornings

[@theylivewesee1674]

in the deadlift my hips always rise up first before my shoulders and it resembles romanian deadlift, any fixes for that? also my deadlift set up is like a clean pull meaning I start with the hips lover then standard

[@lyn0002]

Set your hips higher at the start of the pull. Sounds ridiculously simple but if your hips are rising off the floor, it means you're not setting up in the most efficient position and when the weight breaks the ground, your body will find that position for you (hips shoot up). The deadlift is not a clean pull, it is a hip hinge. Treat it as such.

[@danielprest5887]

The first reply is correct, just pointing out in your own comment you gave yourself the answer if you re read it. I've no I dead on your experience etc but I would recommend doing Romanian deadlifts with a slow tempo. This really helps you feel the groove and movement while you practice the setup and pulling off the floor.

[@ChinChillR63s]

You could use a bench if you don’t have that device for shins

@@JuggernautTrainingSystems thanks

[@jgbecker24]

I'm biased, but these "weak points" show me that the Starting Strength methods/form are the correct way to squat. When the weight gets challenging enough, the hips drive out of the hole first. It seems that is the case with strong highbar squatters as well. Just an observation.

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

The hips driving out first is the mistake, so it seems you may have missed something there.

[@jgbecker24]

@@JuggernautTrainingSystems You know as well as I do that Rippetoe et al preach "hip drahhhve." Using their technique, I've become reasonably strong and haven't had an injury. I just wonder why you guys preach chest up + a bunch of ticky tack assistance exercises in order to balance out the legs and the back. Obviously you guys know how to get strong too. It just doesn't make sense that two different companies with two different styles of squatting that both produce strength claim that the other is mistaken.

[@Zlaterrr]

I high bar squat 270kg and my deadlift is 340kgs... I am just built for dling. I could stop deadlifting alltogether and my squat would never reach my deadlift.

Wouldn’t your hips shoot up because of weak quads?

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

These 2 videos will give you a bit more nuanced understanding of the issue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIaVmJ2mhcimlbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmeUgZKGjbqmbM0

Hello, I would like to ask this question, I am 84kg on good day I can deadlift 185kg, but my squad is kinda weak 140kg and I struggle to reach the depth with increased weight, what can it imply and what kind of exercises would you recommend? thank you

[@lyn0002]

There are a number of possible reasons for this but most common is weak quads. The knee extensors are in the least mechanically efficient position from full depth to just above parallel, so if they are weak the lifter will often struggle in the bottom position. Most importantly to address this, don't cut depth - reduce the weight if needed and focus on hitting a consistent depth with every rep. Otherwise, extra-deep squats are probably the best remedy. High bar squats, front squats and SSB squats done to full depth are all good options.

[@alexandertocco6687]

What about guys like big ray that squat over 1k lbs but can't deadlift that???

[@ivan0799]

Doesn't the knee moving back mean that the athlete has weaker quads and thus relaying on back muscles?I mean, how can you then know if your quads are weaker?

[@mittyfitness]

Google Korisnik I think chad said the stronger back lifters will be able to grind through this good morning whereas weak back will fail once in this position. May have misinterpreted though
