Do I Need To Squat ATG (A** TO GRASS)

sikastrength.com

[@sikastrength]

In Sikastan only ATG squats are allowed. All parallel squatters are relocated to quads over toes camps.. For rehab...

[@nickdutton6218]

And how much would a 14 night stay in one of these camps cost? 🤔 You guys got any advice on stretching, prehab, or other weighted movement's for squatting lower? It is a goal for me to get a decent looking squat, definitely has nothing to do with trying to out CrossFit the girls at the gym.

[@profligatescumbag9941]

Yfw you find a lifter where atg and parallel are basically the same thing.

[@zsahe21]

lol

[@harrispj4205]

In other words : Parallel = Virgin Squat ATG = Chad squat

[@thelongbow141]

High-bar ATG squats look cool, low-bar parallel squats look lame.

[@RevanDuvalcane]

Y'all should do a video about different squat stances for people with different lever types! *waves* Me over here with the inferior long femurs, small hip-sockets, and short torso LOL

Quality! Specific answer for the guy asking the question and a good answer for others

For many sports contact sports in particular who gets lowest fastest strongest and in the most coordinated fashion wins

[@jacobtrepess4593]

I will go ATG on sets of 8-12 but any heavy sets of 5 or less I will stop just below parallel

[@RokDidakovicRoky]

Great video guys, can you do a video about the topic people say that you can be strong enough for sprinting jumping etc. or that more weight will make you worse. To me that is completely illogical except you got near your strenght potential so with training to get few extra kilos you will deplete your nervous system vastly. Let me know what you think.

[@TheMEotaku]

Can you review the kneesovertoesguy methodology? He claims that knee over toes strength is indicative of athletic performance

[@inky4690]

My calves used to be big af but then I got tall and what do ya know..

[@kmidst_fn5225]

For olympic weightlifting we need ATG squats, of course to be able to catch the bar as low as possible which raises the potential for how much weight can be lifted.

Ilya didn't squat ATG.

Mark Rip-a-toe is dumb got it. Thanks

[@jamesellison6154]

I love to squat atg but it does give me right knee tendon pain

[@mrgrumpycat9049]

if talking about the hips, maybe the guy got an excessive butt wink at the bottom that's why he's fine at paralel where the butt wink only occur slightly

[@DrDoubleCup]

TL;DR ATG squats only or dyel

[@getstrongby4038]

I squat as low as i can be bothered 🤣 In definately able to squat "atg" but i know ill never be any good at weightlifting so i dont bother

Answer: Y E S STOP ASKING

[@shauncreed1315]

Fabulous

[@arzi2054]

Squatting to parallel is good but making biceps curls to 90 degrees is "not full rom". Same thing with literally every exercise in the gym. I don't know why people sleep on squat ROM. Same story with deadlift eccentric's, in every exercise dropping weight down is bad but in deadlift there's no room for at least a bit eccentric movement, every my friend just dropping weight down

[@paoloh885]

Used to squat atg, but it hurts tendons on my shins (similar to shin splints). Haven't figured out a fix yet so I just squat parallel now. Looks less cool but not less effective at getting strong.

[@inky4690]

If you don't squat atg, I'll make fun of you

[@hansheinerkohlhoff7607]

so start laughing about Daire. he never squats atg, not even close it, but is claiming to do so LMAO

Fitz, this is my first time seeing you in golf attire, what’s your handicap? I was pretty serious about the game for several years, lots of good and bad times.

[@Mickevostyle]

Suspicious shirt Fitz

[@edwardclaxton2200]

This is a big question for me at the moment. I've got a meniscus tear which is preventing me from going below parralel. I'm now going through physio to change the mechanics of my squat to see if that helps with getting that range of motion back, but there is a real chance I'll need to choose between only squatting, cleaning, snatching etc. to parrallel, or going under the knife and whipping that pesky cartilage out of the way to get a few years of good squatting 🤷🏼‍♂️ anything to avoid the squat over toe camps 😂

[@lucashenriques4242]

isnt ATG also better for knee joints or something

[@stefano9621]

Fabolous.

[@johngonzales9821]

I find it much easier to do ATG on a squat wedge or 10 lb plate is that ok? I know I need to work on flexibility but bone structure matters too right?

[@keithfarrell107]

Is there a difference in the workload on the quads when stopping parallel vs atg?

[@fazzolarijames]

Quads - no significant difference between just below parallel and ATG Glutes - significant difference between parallel and ATG; more activation the deeper you go.

[@eugenepoon]

What's with the final second of the vid

[@bobbyb4024]

Would your recommend squatting everyday and running everyday?

[@Aracnapack]

They've already got a video talking about how squatting every day is a terrible awful idea

[@fabianreah1708]

Squatting and running every day is suicide.

[@tylerhodgin6499]

If you can't go ass to grass try taint to paint.

[@RevanDuvalcane]

Why would someone want to go ATG though? I know it can be preference, but what other functions does it serve?

[@tonkizz1867]

it looks cool

[@inky4690]

You look rad af. But its also needed for weightlifters

[@Wholemax]

[@jdmo741]

Longest range if motion.

[@gabegabriel9288]

Stretch on the quads, more adductor and glutes for bodybuilders, requires less absolute weight and hence can be easier to tendons over the long term.

[@krisvalenti4141]

Yeah I used to be able to jump way higher when I did to parallel or just above squatting.

[@balthazarwalrustitty5108]

Hi can you elaborate? Really interesting, specialist vertical jump coaches for basketball etc say this too and the much maligned Dr Joel seedman. I am honestly really interested and your comment has been lost but this side of the debate should be heard
