Expert Squat Tips with Dave Tate | Mechanics of the Squat

[@MultiCyberAngel]

I love Brian Alsruhe taking notes in the background.

[@zfortyounce]

Oh shit, I dont know if I would have noticed that had I not seen this comment! Brian is a cool dude.

[@johntrains1317]

Time stamp?

[@mjpalumberi1]

Good catch!

[@alexfletcher1619]

His new bushcraft stuff is good too if you're interested, I'd recommend try one

[@theelement6255]

That’s because he will never stop learning, that’s why he’s one of the best👌🏿

[@UpstateGardening]

The editors have been upping their game

[@anthonymarconi761]

Agreed, those sound cues/effects are top notch, not to mention the cybor/electronic-style data showing up

[@MichaelWarrenPerform]

Even before the joke in the intro was finished I was already cracking up. I was a teen in the 90s and dreamed of the day I could get so big and fat and strong.

[@mikolajochocki2810]

The type of content that I would be happy to pay a lot of money for. And it's here for free. Thank you so much for this

[@GabrielMartinsFitness]

Literally today did a max effort squat and felt a bit weird on my hips, came here to do some digging and this!

[@anthonymarconi761]

These videos always blow my mind with what they bring. Not only in terms of the raw technicalities and seeing the session from the inside, but also how D. Tate drops knowledge bombs in terms of coaching methodology, what to look for, how to cue and advise etc. Priceless!

[@tommyjohn312]

Wow, this one was great! Love when Dave gets frustrated when people don’t get it at first and he’s so genuinely happy when they do

[@maxxfury13]

I heard Blain Sumner talking about the bar... That his fight is walking out the eleiko in his centurian & wraps and not getting ripped over by the whip more than actually taking the weight in the rep.

[@KaokashinPlays]

just Ego 1100 lb is insane

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Tidbits, like how to recognize a visual learner, not overcorrecting warmups... these are what it is all about. Thanks

[@metabasketball405]

These videos are like a masterclass in coaching.

[@Sweet_TRT]

I keep re watching all these train your ass off. And I learn something new everytime. Priceless

[@erskjans]

Same.

[@Herr2Cents]

I wish these videos were around in the 80s,90s,2000s. I hurt my back 2 many times trying to squat. At 63, these are invaluable as I once again challenge myself. Though expert one on one coaching is the best.

[@nickdopudja2780]

LOVE seeing Alsruhe in the background

[@blakemoore1905]

Lmaoo "your not sore? Ok so you dont know how to train hard"

[@waveybeats]

lol the way he reeled him in, that had me chuckling.

[@Apollocreed2076]

It's funny because it's true. 🤣

[@michaelholder98]

First thing I was thinking before Dave ever even said it haha.

[@michaelc1541]

I’m decent at deads but my squat and bench definitely need some work. Hoping this eeriest will help me apply some new tate-nique to my lifts.

[@metabasketball405]

Love this series. Dave's level of knowledge and coaching ability is unreal.

[@mikevaldez7684]

Very interesting! I want this guy to train me for senior nationals in my age group! He's good. Knows his shit! He trained under Louie & Tate is very intelligent! I can see it.🙋🙏

[@mjthiga]

Video editing and production is top notch

[@josephwilkinson1610]

Love the graphics. The content is top notch. Tar

[@MrRegman1011]

Awesome information you're sharing here. I hope to open my own gym one day, and when I do, I'm want to stock up on elitefts equipment. Thanks Mr. Tate

[@Rocket4ce]

This helped out a lot. My squat is terrible. Compared to my Deadlift and Bench Press.

[@nilo7727]

Great video great content from Dave!!!😎💯

[@elvar2168]

Good effort on the video, make a shit ton of theese for DL, bench and what other shit you have locked in there Dave 👍

[@flippino35]

papa alsruhe in the back😁

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Dave, you are a patient teacher My Yoga teachers (especially the ones from Pune, India) would actually physically hit someone for a joke like that (not the 90s anymore). It was funny though. And our current Military probably would be passive towards backtalk too.

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

BEST CONTENT OUT THERE! PERIOD! Thank you very much for sharing so much valuable and great content!

[@roidwizard2679]

Spotted a wild Brian Alsruhe, quietly stalking his prey from a distance...

[@Josh-rr5lj]

I need a personal Tate to have at my disposal and just became an absolute monster

[@zacharythompson3216]

Genius shit

[@The_MKUltra]

Is my man Dave wearing old school Rebook pumps? If so that is dope

[@jon2024]

Man i wish I could fly to Ohio so I could train with Dave. No where near that caliber of coaching in alberta.

[@HenchPig]

What's up Dave! Which resources should i refer to to learn to program conjugate for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Athletes?

[@MasoNowa]

There are 3 very solid articles on elitefts.com about BJJ right now. There are also a slew of awesome articles about MMA and combat sports in general. I highly recommend the book ConjugateU for applying conjugate training to athletes. Very easy to apply that book, but full of info!

[@spencerparker925]

is that brian alshure in the background

[@baxterself5887]

What do I have to do to be able to attend one of these? These look so informative and like so much fun

[@MasoNowa]

Watch the instagram for when it is reopened

[@piter00711]

Can anyone tell me where is part 2 of this? Thanks for video!

[@nastynate4481]

always felt like whip was greater on a squat bar with a higher bar position due to the length

[@theulysses7236]

8:13 Imagine warming up your squat, trying your hardest to not look like an idiot on camera, and Dave Tate just whispers “Oh my god…” behind you. Worst feeling ever.

[@metabasketball405]

lmao if you know anything about Dave you better expect it. He will viciously tear down your form, but is amazingly supportive when you improve.

[@Wildcamp-lifestyle]

Isn’t shin angle going to be dependant on the individual’s anthropology?

[@tommygifford7975]

No

[@Wildcamp-lifestyle]

@@tommygifford7975 incorrect, everyone’s shin angle will be different depending on the lengths of their tibia and fibia, femur, and the length of their torso.

[@biesman5]

@@tommygifford7975 Yes

[@metabasketball405]

@@Wildcamp-lifestyle do you mean anthropometry? If so, then yes it does influence shin angle, but it's not the only factor. Shin angle can also be influenced by technique variables like stance width, hip internal/external rotation, hip/ankle mobility, etc. You can take nearly anyone with adequate hip mobility (regardless of their anthropometry) and get them to squat with their knees over their toes, mid-foot, or ankles by manipulating these variables. And you may want to manipulate someone's shin angle to optimize their technique for muscular strengths/weaknesses (as well as their anthropometry).

[@lrgpapi]

Students: *executes movement with moderate skill* Dave: whoa that was fucking shit

[@sokhavalunghar6049]

Hello Sir, Love your contents. I just needed to ask one thing. I squat in sleeves. So, during my box squat do I need to squat in my same stance or wider. Thank you.

[@LeylandFoizey]

He's teaching 4 or 5 guys specific squat corrections, while teaching 3 or 4 guys how to teach specific squat corrections.

[@alcoyot]

This really just blew my mind. My structure is terrible for squatting but I always force lower squatting. So you’re saying just to make the joints 90 degrees??

[@YairvanEer]

When he’s asking the guys to turn their knees out is it because they are wearing sleeves or would this benefit somebody not using that equipment as well?

[@masonnowak5660]

Sleeve's will make no difference on squat form

[@ragnakak]

Knees out/gripping with your feet activates your hips and glutes regardless of gear

[@slicktrips]

Dave .... So you don't know how to train hard Translation, "so you have chosen death" 🤣

[@PrimeMatt]

Turning the knees out, from the knees, is an injury waiting to happen. Yes they should come out, but as a result of external hip rotation. That wasn't made clear.

[@xdigix100]

thats true!

[@metabasketball405]

It's a cue. The point of a cue is not to be anatomically correct, but to get someone to perform a specific action. Dave has explained how he uses cues many times in his videos and podcasts. Taken out of context, the cues he uses may sound bad or incorrect. But the point is to get the athlete to do what he wants them to do. Did you see anyone rotating dangerously? No, and he would have corrected immediately if they had. It's literally not physically possible to rotate at the knee itself in any significant way anyways. It's a hinge joint. In order to rotate the knee, you have to rotate the hip. Which is why he chose to use that cue. Many times athletes will not understand when you tell them to externally rotate their hips, but you tell them to point their knees out and they understand. That's coaching.

[@alcoyot]

Can someone let me know. Is he saying we put knee and hip joint at 90 degree angle ? Even if that’s a way high squat. I don’t get what he’s saying by hip joint to knee, how can a joint be parallel. This is different from competition rules.

[@ulfnordh1108]

An imaginary line between the hip joint and the knee joint shall be parallel to the ground. He also mentioned that you train like this and then some weeks before competition, you switch to the competition depth and practice that.

[@kingschnitz]

I like Dave Even though he trains blokes to half squat, is stuck in the world of the past and is an ex roid boy, I like him.

[@shahidkhan-vi7yl]

Dave, can you please please make a video on knee valgus in the squat and how to fix it. I'm assuming it's a glute issue and in 1 of the "train your ass off videos" you mentioned you were gonna help the guy in that video with his valgus. Some exercises to strengthen my glutes specifically to combat the knee valgus would be invaluable for me. I've had this issue forever. I'm not a competitive lifter but i like to be strong. Former college football player. I'm 6'5, 280lbs. I have long limbs and a relative short torso. My max squat rn is probably 475lbs. But I know my issue is technique. On my ascend my knees cave in like a MF and it's only when the weight starts to get heavy. Like i notice the valgus once 405 gets on the bar. I apologize for the essay. Please help out man. Just some exercises would be appreciated.

[@urgamecshk]

6'5" here too. Put a band around both knees and 'overload' the idea of pushing your knees out

[@JuanATena]

who else was spreading their feet/toes lol!
