Foot Pressure & Knee Movement in the Squat | JTSstrength.com

[@sulezraz]

2:07 If the knees stay back then it makes it harder for the quads to fully work which will severely limit the ability to get out of the hole. 3:08 Bring your bodyweight forward so it’s directly in front of the shin. Apply equal pressure into the toe and heel. Keep the knee over your toes as long as you can coming out of the hole overwise the hips will shift back and you will have to go up in a more good morning style of squat. 6:42 Important Cue: Initiate the squat, if not knees first, at least with the knees and hips simultaneously. Don’t break at the hips first.

[@JFJrsGarage]

I started squatting the way you guys coach it about a year ago, it's taken a while for my quads to catch up to my back and hamstring strength after following the "starting strength" squat ques for years, but I'm now much stronger in the squat than I was before and my quads have almost doubled in size.

[@marcorodriguez7694]

John French Which style do you prefer?

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

Do you have a standard femur-torso ratio? I'm on the exact same boat, and have started to integrate the Juggernaut cues. Still finding it a bit weird overall but I suppose practice makes perfect.

[@phijk66461]

This is good to hear, as about 2 weeks ago I dropped the weight and changed my form to start squatting this way as opposed to the posterior dominant SS method. I hope to say the same a year from now. My quads are very underdeveloped compared to my hamstrings at the moment.

[@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477]

John French dip don't know shit about Jugg life baby. These guys are the best!

[@Jafs]

John French this is actually a very advanced technique and they should say it in that way Most beginners or even intermediates who squat do not have the hammy or quad strength to become unbalanced when u shift your weight to the front...they end up going forward which is seriously dangerous Pushing down through your heals is the best way to start any trainer will tell u that and along with improving your hammys from deads and quads from doing things like presses ... eventually u can do it this way Anyone starting shd not do it this way

[@PlanetZequl]

Man this video completely changed the way that i squat. I always sat back first and didn't feel it as much in my quads.

[@adrian-gr8hg]

Imo. These gentlemen put out the best squat tutorial videos. Thank you.

[@kzelmer]

I've learned the "lean forward" in the setup position from a Torokhtyi video about back squats. It feels awkward the first time you do it but it makes a lot of sense, as you have to adjust the center of gravity of the bar to your midfoot, no your heels. Really good video JTS.

[@vintersorg5501]

I'm a bit late to the party, but do you have the toshiki video?

[@elijahhilb6518]

I lean back too much to where my toes come off the ground sometimes, but that probably is why I can't squat

[@masondixon1718]

Really glad I came across this video. Running Bulgarian made me realize with such frequent practice that the cues I was using weren't working for me. I squat ATG with very good ankle mobility. This is how I felt I should be doing it all along but allowed myself to. be misled by the cues of others with different styles and mobility. Thanks guys.

[@bmstylee]

We all knew that. Where have you been? 😀

[@BrwrFan806]

thank you for this video. i think so many people, including myself, have been mislead about the squat and the primary movers of the squat. there's so much talk around the fitness world about being "quad dominant," and it scares some people to the point of not wanting to train quads at all and exclusively activating the glutes/hams in all leg exercises. you guys cleared this up perfectly

[@angrygoldfish]

Thanks for the video! I found that widening my stance and sticking my toes out a bit also helped my quads to fire sooner. I was suffering from good morning squats, and while that was OK at lighter weights, when I hit 100kg (I'm a beginner so it's relatively light) my hamstrings and glutes were doing the majority of the work. Breaking at the hips was a problem, but when I adjusted my stance width to something wider I still broke at the hips as my ankle mobility wasn't and still isn't great. Then I would immediately drop into the hole with my chest upright by pulling shoulder blades down and squeezing them together. Then I cue myself with 'chest up' and try and to focus the weight onto my quads by driving from the front of my feet and taking my time. Slowing the reps down to focus on quad activation helps. I can't hit as many reps as I'm too fatigued and I don't squat below parallel, but it's helping to correct my form so I can go back to 100kg (but safer) and continue to progress. Once my ankle mobility is up to snuff, I can start breaking at the knees and hips simultaneously.

[@endtoend11]

Kris cant even squat wrong. What a beast

[@TrumpetReviews]

Excellent instruction and a real eye opener. I have competed since 1980 in the ADFPA, USPF, USAPL and SLP. I was told for many years that the shins MUST stay straight and NOW you are telling me otherwise. I was wondering why a couple of your female powerlifters squat with such narrow stances. Your videos have answered that for me. My biggest problem (and I am all ears for suggestions) is I have nerve damage (Neuropathy) in both feet which makes my balance more difficult as well as my ankle flexibility not good either. I have squatted 500 in a single ply meet and most recently 405 raw at 49 years of age. I want to build my quads more and utilize them more in the squat as I tend to bend over quite a bit. Box Squatting has helped me (1) have a depth gauge or target and (2) have a target for my pause squats.

[@yimingzhh]

Thanks for the great tip. Bend the ankle, shins tilted forward, keep the knees over the toes as long as possible, to maintain the center of gravity at middle of the feet. Otherwise the vertical shins will lead to "good morning" squat.

When they say to keep ur knees over the toes for as long as possible, its kinda like hip drive. Because you must then drive your hips up. Its a pretty common mistake to "straighten ur leg", instead of moving your hips.

I just wanted to say thank you for the tip about pressuring the floor with the big toe. I've had trouble with one leg going (a tad) valgus at higher loads and the heel of the same leg coming off the floor slightly. Concentrating on the big toe has eliminated both, I suspect because my arch doesn't collapse as easily.

[@rajatshrma3]

Thank you for the knowledge.

[@smokinHawkjh]

I increased my raw squat around a 100lbs by learning to sit back more and open up my hips better, without gaining strength. Key is to open up your hips. with a more vertical shin you will hit depth sooner as well. The more you open up your hips the more you can keep a vertical shin using your hips and hamstrings, putting them in the right position. doesn't matter if you have gear on or not.

[@victormanin2074]

Not so sure about that in powerlifting yes i can maybe agree you can squat more weight that way since as you said hit depth sooner but for strength in the legs that is not true. In 10 years i have never seen a single person squat like a powerlifter if they have good ankle mobility most good squatters squat like in the video.

[@smokinHawkjh]

Yes we are talking about squatting more weight. Most people in that 10 years you've seen have not perfected there form. Olympic lifters do not train to squat, they train to clean and jerk or snatch.

[@cjvDreams]

Real interesting comparing this squat style to the starting strength squat technique; where you guys emphasize quad usage and SS emphasizes muscles around the hips more or having the hips rise first.

You’re ignorant.. Rip would agree with everything in this segment about knee position and foot balance. Starting strength preaches using the most musculature - THAT INCLUDES THE QUADS! Chad just doesn’t teach hip drive in this video..

[@anxietydisorders5917]

This squat is the same of what mark teach

[@micahneely6542]

Was this suggestion more for high bar form? When I switched to low-bar a few months ago I found more success by continually adjusting my form to be more hips back and leaning over (good-morning squat). I'm perfectly capable of a lot of ankle flexion and fully upright front squats, but my weight went up far faster with the "good-morning squat". Certainly not so far as to have no pressure on the toes; weight feels pretty even through the foot, but my cues are all about leaning over more and getting hips further back. Huge carryover to my former poverty deadlift as well.

[@ziyaadsam008]

ofcourse high bar.

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

I lean over more when squatting low bar, so the bar stays on the back, but I do the lower body this way for high or low bar.

[@micahneely6542]

Thanks, I'll have to go pay attention to that on some more CWS squats. I don't think Mad Max ever does low bar?

[@micahneely6542]

I gave it a try with low-bar--keeping the forward lean I've been working on, but not trying to control the knee slide (?). Felt pretty good, but maybe makes it hard to see depth for competition. I'll play around with it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpzKXp94lr2GirM

[@micahneely6542]

Interesting in this 855# raw CWS squat that it looks like you're getting considerable rebound out of your ankle flexion right at the bottom of the squat, not just the rebound from the hamstrings that I've been looking for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKSpdJJooquNnZI

[@bobg1436]

I find squatting with knees forward leads to knee pain but have not had much pain keeping knees more vertical.

[@JustinMorgan105kg]

I used to have terrible knee pain from squatting just to parallel. Once I started letting myself drop into the bottom and going through the full stretch shortening cycle I'm pretty much able to squat with my shins in whatever position I like without knee pain.

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

Because the quads are weak. They need a bit more work. Forward knees = quad dominant squat and knees will ache if the quads aren't strong enough to support the knee.

[@Kocis19]

Hey bob, I think that if you really dialled in your hip and more importantly ankle mobility, you will find that this will ease your knee pain and allow for better depth while remaining a vertical torso! Just a suggestion. Happy squatting friend.

[@emZee1994]

bob that's a Mobility issue most likely. It's definitely not a technical issue

Great video, I can't help but notice Eddie 'The Goat' Coan does not use the style of squat JTS advocates and has near vertical shins in the squat...

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Ashwin Baker for sure there will be lots of examples of different techniques. Ed has an extremely unique body type with very very short legs and a massive back that will influence his technique. I’ve really never seen anyone with similar body proportions as him.

[@RATHER5KEPTICAL]

Cheers for the reply! A lot of the arguments for a more vertical shin are based on longevity of the lifter. It's hard to find an older 40+ lifter who squats with the knees forward. Whats your thoughts?

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Forward knee travel when ankle mobility is sufficient doesn't place more stress on the knees. Older lifters not moving their knees forward as much is likely more due to 1-if they've been lifting for a longer time they were likely cued more about sitting back for a long time so that is just their style. 2-they've lost ankle mobility with age. Marisa Inda is 42 and squats with a very forward knee position, same with Liz Craven (44) and Sioux-z Gary (50).

[@lamsen167]

nice video guys and girl, quick question: do you actively use your shin-muscles (whatever that is called, the same that would raise your forefoot) to pull your knees forward or is it more of a "it just happens" thing?? i could squat both ways and they look and feel a little different from each other

[@Gina-bl1mh]

My ankle mobility is horrendous even with adipowers on. pressure starts to leave my heel the second my knee gets over my toe at all which puts me exactly at parellel instead of breaking parallel. It stinks. Ove tried for over a year to increase my ankle mobility so i can stay grounded better. Havsnt improved much. Ankles are tight af.

[@Gina-bl1mh]

Derrick Blanton Nope. :p Cant stand heels and probably wear them a total of 2-3hra total in a calendar year. Im just naturally quite stiff.

[@petrocksgarage]

So you are saying that its best to not use weightlifting shoes? Or only use them if you lack proper ankle mobility to get into the whole without your heals popping up? It would be great if there was footage demonstrating the issue that Max was talking about around 8:00. Is there a good active technique to use to know that you've gotten below parallel?

[@killagilla24]

Pet Rock's Garage my guess would be do what makes you more comfortable. For me I have good ankle mobility but my hips are as stiff as a board and I get knee pain from a narrow stance. My solution is to break at the hips to prevent knee pain. And widen my stance with my toes pointed out. Still working on getting below parallel though. Everybody is different.

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

A more verticle shin greatly reduces my knee pain. Ever since my ACL tear, I can barely do a body weight squat with forward knee movement, but sitting back is pain free. Any tips?

[@xander3v]

Try switching to low bar squat and use flat shoes if your ankle mobility allows it. Also be aware of your feet angle and your hip external rotation since it can change the forces applied on the knee joint. It worked for me at least (I 've had ACL surgery on left knee and ACL tear on the right knee 7 years later - both injuries while playing football). Just don't ignore the pain.

[@lukeg378]

Did you have a patellar tendon graft? That will make the patellar tendon sensitive for some years after surgery, and so anything heavily involving quads will irritate it. Vertical shin will reduce the load on your quads so it'll bother you less. However, you should still include some quad exercises in your routine to rehab the tendon. Doing slow reps (like 10 seconds each) with light weights seems to help with rebuilding the tendon.

[@xander3v]

lukeg378 Hamstring graft and that was 10 years ago. Since then I have squatted over 405lbs low bar at 180bw in knee sleeves. For some strange reason I started feeling pain again recently so after a lot of tweaking I went back to train high bar and front squats for higher rep ranges. Anything heavier than 315 low bar hurts, already planned to visit a PT and have another MRI. Btw my right knee still has no ACL and has been fine since the injury, almost as if the ligament is still in tact which is why I am not considering fixing it.

[@wsb_gfh4896]

I would suggest you to do the box squats.While sitting back you'll learn to use your posterior chain more and there would be less pressure on your knees.When you build your posterior chain up you'll be able to sit back without the box and with vertical shins which will keeps your knees injury free.

I'm a narrow stance squatter. Lately my friends told me that narrow stance gives too much pressure on my knees. And as a weightlifter, I should try to squat in the exact same stance as when I receive the bar at the bottom position. How accurate is this statement?

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

The knee part is dependent on your ankle mobility and hip anthropomorphy, see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKDFY6qNeqhqaNU. The need to back squat in your clean receiving position isn't particularly important, if anything you'd want to front squat in that position but even that isn't a huge deal.
