HOW TO FIX YOUR SQUAT (ELIMINATE FOOT PRONATION) | Mind Pump

[@JMFowlkes]

That is actually the exact concept of 'turnout' for dancers and is trained extensively in ballet and other forms. It's coiling effect is used for control, cushioning force, and explosive movement. It would be massively helpful to look into a movement or drill from dance to help a client tap into, build strength and develop mind-body coordination. Just one reason why holistic/integrated approaches are very helpful!

Great add, Justin - thanks!

Another way of queuing “knees out” is to twist the ground outward like you’re tearing a piece of paper from top down under your feet. Plants your feet, activates glutes, doesn’t move the knees and puts hips/pelvis in the right position too.

[@HardcoreLegend]

6:44 finally I understand the ‘screwing your feet into the floor’ concept. It didn’t feel right before because I was initiating it too early. Now I know. Thank you.

This is by far the best cueing on the squat I have ever seen anywhere

[@MatthewPlayz999]

Fantastic video! Despite watching and reading countless sources for improving my squat the past year, my squat has been brutal. After watching this video, the cues of flexion, having knees not in, and pushing the knees out at the bottom of the decent clicked for some reason and for the first time my squat form feels strong. The point about timing when to push the knees out, as opposed to just continuing to drop straight down is a game-changer. I know feel like the quads and musculature required to be explosive out of the hole are loaded up for the first time. Time to deload and grove this new form, can't wait for the PRs! Thanks a million for this, subscribed!

4:07 Someone doesn't like being interrupted lol

[@Alvaro_Athletics]

Hahahaha i just noticed! Wtf was that?!

[@FFJACOBSON]

Or he knew where he was going with what he said? shrug

[@TheMonicaBrantShow]

Great info!! If I could ask .. that the exercises are actually shown straight through a couple times so we can see how they look when performed. I love all the discussion but also a visual learner.. so seeing it performed straight through a couple times would be really awesome too! Thank you for the details!!

[@RKColor]

THANK YOU I've struggled with pronation since my high school track days and know it can be a common issue. 🙏

[@love4clothes]

check also Squat University youtube account, he has few amazing videos with more practical tips as well. I have this problem as well :)

[@The.Ghost.of.Tom.Joad.]

Excellent vid. Take it from a CPT, you can never get enough solid information. Now, my two cents. Most people think (because most coaches and trainers say) "feet straight-ahead, shoulder width" when squatting. This limits most people's range of motion, with their femur getting stuck on their hip joints. I cue feet at 30-45 degrees, which automatically externally rotates the hips, and slightly wider than shoulder width. This helps people clear this hip impingement. I can always add the cue "Don't let those knees cave in."

[@ashifpatel9262]

you guys sorry SIRS are the one who make the most valuable videos..thank you so so sos so much....

[@Greenfields-w2p]

Exceptional

[@wernergansert6377]

Excellent video!!!!

[@Sara-md8nu]

I put heels on a wooden wedge box. Forces you to squat straight down and not forward

[@MultiWarrior63]

Thanks guys

[@komadachi]

Great vid! thanks!

[@keithlittle293]

What were the lunges? Normal lunges?

[@Ijjunne]

No, they're talking about lunges with external rotation of the knees. You can see them demonstrate it in this episode : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCmi4Z9oad8nNU. I don't know if you still need the information, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to reply.

[@kwfuller5848]

keep it coming

[@alshaifhir]

Omg I was getting so frustrated at so many words exchanged before FINALLY seeing a sample full depth squat after 5+ minutes lol

[@SteveSmekar-ll6ln]

6:43 I remember that as "spreading the floor".

[@bigbattenberg]

You really need to address foot arch. I found this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYqUfKCgbKahfKM. This is quite in line with the "hyperarch" material that's on YT. I am not going to buy the book, but the theory makes sense. I am a flat footed distance runner having developed PTT which put me on the track of foot and posterior chain training and how these are connected. After a few weeks of dedicated training there is a big difference already to my foot shape, ankle angle and glutes. I think foot position and activation is a hugely overlooked subject in any sport.

[@ryanthompson3446]

Never seen this in squatters that break at the knees and use quads.

[@brettcleveland1106]

Haha! Are you kidding me! LOL

[@WhatSoEverThingsAreLovely]

I like this channel but I have to say one thing. You need to explain more what you mean when you use all these scientific words!! I think I get it but I get lost with all the sports science terminology!! Can you dumb it down a little for all us not "in the business" so that we can get a better understanding of exactly what you mean?

[@DontLookAtMuh]

Lol this guy does legs... Right

[@CroBarBrothers]

DontLookAtMuh the bones have nothing to do with exercising ,dont judge him ,he cant grow his bones ,his calves are not small but his bones are so it looks small ,learn a thing or two about something before you judge someone 😉

[@NHsucks1]

I thought the same thing but I know plenty of dudes who squat with genetically small, but not weak, calves.

[@candacethames8548]

Not that I don't love you guys....but I sure do like it when you interject some estrogen into the videos - where are the ladies at?

[@ToraJutsu01]

Candace Thames How would this information have been better if it had been delivered by/with a woman?

[@LordMacragge77]

“Functional stability” you can’t be serious?

[@dirtysoul23]

LordMacragge77 why wouldnt he be lol.

[@uly4902]

He's referring to the roles the musculature of the human body attend to whilst we walk and breathe. For example the Glute Med can be considered a stabiilizer of the hip during gait because of it's line of pull. That being said, it plays its functional role during the squat at the highest degree when there is less physical structure under the bar. This in turn forces the Glutes to take on a bigger role at that point in time. Doesn't mean the Glute Med isn't active the entire time, since muscles are never not active but more so "less required". Hope that makes sense!

[@NHsucks1]

Before I go out and purchase a band for the exercise, how much should the band I get be weighted for? I don't want to exert myself doing this but still want to be able to cue my lats.

[@nathlindemann381]

when I know nothing I thought this guy is a genius Later I thought he's full of shit because there's too much jargon But now actually completed my doctoral I think this guy is making sense and is in fact, not a half wit
