@@jaw9095you can try to increase your ancle mobility, use powerlifting shoes or use something to stand on with your heels. I fixed my ancle mobility and can do very deep highbar squats on flat shoes. Works best for me since I have long femurs. My lowbar is stronger but I need to lean forward and it's harder to get depth for me.

@OnchiBon9 ай бұрын
Forreal, there are so many walking talking Dunning-Kruger-Effects bashing people because their forms aren't 100% perfect. Completely demeaning their efforts and progress because idk they don't squat as deep as possible or whatever. There are reasons why people can't or won't do those things and that doesn't mean their work is for nothing and to be disrespected. I for myself can't squat deeper than 90 degrees because my knee is busted and going deeper will injure me, regardless of the weight. So seeing creators with a lot of reach and credibility mention things like that is very reassuring to me personally and also important for people who are just starting out!
@timoetjen22079 ай бұрын
@@OnchiBonI agree with this for sure, but it is important to be strict when it comes to form to prevent injury. I see way too many people sacrificing form for the sole purpose of increasing weight.

As a prep though - hamstings should be stretched some with a forward fold, and peddling of the feet.

I'd add two things: 1. Squat depth can offer some benefits from a muscle building perspective, but its only worth going to additional depth if its within your comfortable range of motion. Most people, especially beginners, while maybe technically "can" go ass to grass, they can't go ass to grass or even parallel with really pushing their range of motion. I'd advise going only as low as your mobility (particularly within the hips and ankle) will allow you to go while feeling controlled and having really good stability, otherwise you'll put yourself at risk for strains and injuries. 2. From a purely functional perspective, there aren't many day to day and even athletic movements that really require ass to grass depth. The most common movements we do, like jumping and running etc. don't require our hips or ankles to have us working in the position as the bottom of an ass to grass squat. Even basketball players that do squats often only do 1/2 squats as thats the maximum range of motion they will need to use during games.

Something a personal trainer told me 1 time that I wanna get your opinion on is not letting your knees go past your toes when squatting deep. Basically trying to keep your shins from angling too far forward. My guess for why was to ensure that you keep the weight on the heel/balls of your feet (having a stable point to push off from) and not on your toes/front part of your foot (being less stable to push off from). Reason I asked was cause during your squat it looked like the knees went past your toes and wasn’t certain if this was outdated info or more of a guide to get a feel for proper squatting.

Good stuff. Love these videos. You should add hanging an elastic band with weight off the bands on the barbell. A low weight of course at first, this makes a greater difficulty in stabilising your core making them stronger.

Great checklist, I've always struggled with my form doing barbell squats. It always feels so awkward.

Just came across your videos and I’m so glad. As someone new to weightlifting my personal trainer tells me to go lower in squats but I can’t do that without bringing my chest forward. How can I do deeper squats while keeping my chest up?

Ok i have being doing squats for a year now and it turns out im doing them all wrong! Why are there so many videos out there telling you need to drive you hips all the way back and have you knees in parallel to your shins. I have always felt it in my back. Thanks for sharing this video

Can you make a video about plyometrics/isometrics and building 2B muscle fibers, growing vertical, getting speed and explosiveness, working out for sports, etc… because I know you’re a pro in this stuff and even though it’s not your genre, I think you could be really helpful to some people like myself in getting stronger, explosive, and even having some(somewhat indirect) muscle growth?
