[@calebmay2270]

I wouldn't even be able to squat without their videos collectively. Thanks JTS and Max!!

[@aparthia]

Totally loving this series! Hope you'll make one for the overhead press and the classic lifts too!

[@MrAnymeansnecessary]

I wish Max would touch me like that, Im so jealous

좋은 영상이네요. 늘 많이 배워갑니다.

[@scorpleeon]

Nice reminder program has them up tomorrow!

[@kauerpc]

This is the best series on KZbin. As for the breathing and bracing, I can do it and feel it in the abs and obliques, but not on the lower back. The "circunferential" part is hard to understand and apply. Is there any additional resource to solve this? Thanks!

[@thomaspatrickjensen]

I realize this is an old comment at this point 😅 but the important thing is you wanna breathe with your stomach not just the chest, draw as much air as you possibly can and make your stomach as big as possible and then flex abs downwards. If you do it correctly you should feel the pressure around you and in the back, it can help to use a belt for training it, later on you will easily be able to do it without the belt for the lighter sets.

Please do an overhead press pilar series

[@jimjones6901]

Comrade .Black i believe they are if im not mistaken

[@moetthepoet]

Jim Jones I hope you are right, where do you base this belief off? You have insider information?

[@jimjones6901]

Comrade .Black pretty sure they said it in one of their more recent pillars of strength videos

"Chad is Rad"

[@619cardo]

Once again, great video with good information broken down Barney style

[@ianperez6]

When I front squat, I feel much more stable when I take a big breath into my abs and obliques before I pick unrack the weight. The problem is that I can't maintain that pressure past 3 or 4 reps. I sometimes try to take big breaths between reps, but I can't seem to regain my initial posture. Does anyone else have this problem?

[@metalmilitia980]

I’ve got the same problem actually. What I’ve found that helps me is just exhaling in the front rack position. Seems to help me realign and then a few breath in to brace and squat down. Give it a try. Hope it helps!

[@jeffreyabelson7171]

Your videos are terrific and helpful and I've recommended them elsewhere

[@ArchEnemy2006]

Another great video, as always! There's always something new I pull out of these instructionals! One question I have though is this: How do I maintain a flat or "neutral" spine with a diagnosed kyphotic lumbar curve? Should I hyperextend into a flat plane, or squat in the weaker position you mentioned around 3:20 or so (hips tucked under) as this is my neutral posture?

[@los1wochos]

great video

[@keksauraisks]

Have you given up on the throwback thursday series? I really enjoyed it

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Haven't done them in a while but I could bring them back if people want.

[@frarub4693]

Nice video 🔝

[@Deurhzd]

What's the point of breathing before unracking the bar, it might help in the first rep, but you're gonna have to rebreath for extra reps; this needs clarification.

[@woffe8094]

Just do low reps

[@Fortress333]

Are you guys also going into depth concerning the dumbbell curl? The 5 Pillars of the Dumbbell Curl. Pillar 1: Sitting Down on the Bench Besmirching It with Your Sweat. Pillar 2: Looking in the Mirror and Admiring Your Own Physique Flexing. Pillar 3: Hoard all the Dumbbells and Check Who's Admiring You. (edit: this is Pillar 1) Pillar 4: Curl Bending Back Whole Body and Aim for Elusive Mind-Muscle Connection and Sick Pump. Pillar 5: Groan and Moan like a Grizzly Bear in Heat Slamming Down Dumbbell on Floor. Yell if necessary when weight flattens your foot.

pillar 6: Then before you know it, you are a fittea athlete

[@kurakuson]

Can DB squat be as effective?

[@TirthBArya]

My Adductors rub against eachother when I take a Shoulder Width stance. For Back Squats I take a wide stance. What to do for Front Squats?

[@Baloo0254]

I have pain in one shoulder (rear delt area) when I let go of the bar from the front rack position. No pain while I am doing it. Anybody had this before?

[@woffe8094]

I had this exact thing, I just kept doing it and now it's gone. Idk if that's good advice tho.

[@jonathanrobins1951]

But is Chad actually Rad?? And WHY? This question was not addressed at all....

[@veganbloho3543]

Are you affiliated with Juggernaut Fitness? Jason Blaha is giving interesting Bulgearian training - Thoughts on his methods

[@emZee1994]

Vegan Bloho no they arnt at all. Jasan blaha is an idiot too

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]
