Thank you! This was the single most useful advice on squatting, this helped me a lot

[@miac6371]

Thank you for showing an anatomy focused technique for this exercise. I see so many people in my weigh lifting class that are doing it wrong and are being taught improperly. This will help me focus on having more open shoulders and getting the weight pushed up from the right parts of my body.

As a very tall lady, I really really appreciate this.

[@AmandaBisk]

thank you so much amanda! im standing at 6'2 and just last week started barbell squatting. I thought i was putting it lower but i guess it was still resting near my neck bone because it's been hurting. Not many videos tell us to put our elbows and shoulders back to use it as a rack. Hearing "let it rest on your traps" is a little confusing because my traps are not that built so it's easy to mistaken them for my neck bone area.

I've had to drop weightlifting due tension headaches. I've never tried the narrow grip, but I'll sure give it a shot. Thanks!

I tried it and it really reduce the stiffness around my thoracic vertebrae. I felt a click there 👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@AmandaBisk]

Oh that’s great to hear! Definitely the best way to release pressure on the neck! 🙏🏼

[@MADZOUA]

This hurts my wrists and shoulders as hell

[@sandriais]

It looks painful.

[@AmandaBisk]

Try to go a bit wider with the hands and also place your thumbs with the rest of your fingers (on top of the bar). As you get more flexible, this position will feel easier and you can slowly bring the hands closer and bar further down your back 👌🏼 I’ll aim to do a part 2 video about this ☺️

[@AmandaBisk]

@@sandriais It may be a bit uncomfortable if you force yourself into a too narrow grip and low bar position too quickly. Start with a wider grip with the bar higher on your shoulder blades and this will become more comfortable with more practise. As you gain more flexibility in the shoulders you can work towards a narrower grip and lower bar position 👌🏼

Why aren't you hitting full depth? Bit sad to do a video on squats if you can't execute the movement yourself.

[@Greggatron]

Nice video. I'll share with the people I train

[@AmandaBisk]

Great! 🙌🏼 I hope it can help 🙏🏼
