Great video! Would be great to see in the eteach :)

[@mikeymexico]

Thank you

[@mohamedorayith4626]

Her Squats are very quad dominant. Her ankles lack dorsi-flexion flexibility which is another reason for the leaning forward and arched back. Correct me if I am wrong :)

[@mahdicheraghi1020]

Great, But there is a little misleading in presentation! That's right that Latissimus dorsi inserts from anterior portion ( bicipital groove) of the humerus but it runs under the humerus not over the humerus as it was shown! So it acts as an internal rotator.

Topppppp

[@drtekchandsharma]

Hllo.first of all good work..i want to ask.latismus dorsi is shoulder extensor not flexor .so how it is over active????

[@adrianczmielewski3766]

Shoulder extension means your arms are falling down and back behind you. Shoulder flexion is raising them overhead. If the lats are overactive they will exert a greater pulling force down aka shoulder extension

[@guitargod63]

The muscles in my legs are the ones that are over active and under active, any videos based on those muscles?

[@nikhilck629]

So how do you fix and over and underactive muscles?

[@ModysLobbys]

stretch overactive muscles, strengthen underactive muscles

[@Msfitn50]

Her squat looks quad dominant

[@mosijahi3096]

In what way?

[@CarlosRamirez-we8zi]

So how do I fix these issues I have the same problem when overhead squat position

[@NasmOrgPersonalTrainer]

Hi Carlos - we cover overactive and underactive muscles in a 3-part series on The NASM-CPT Podcast. The third episode in the series talks about arms falling forward, we highly recommend checking it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4G2gpmfpt-sZ80

nasm sucks lol they make it extrememly difficult to understand all this complex Information to a new student

[@MattyGotIcee]

still passed tho lol

[@XPurpleVortex]

Not really, maybe you’re just an idiot. I got it down just fine

[@MattyGotIcee]

Maybe..Although this "idiot" still passed and is NASM certified so I can talk about the negative sides of NASMS program if I like to lol.Many many trainers complain about NASMs curriculum..And honestly you probably aren't even certified lol so watch your mouth bud.@@XPurpleVortex

[@kristinjohnson5162]

I thought it was just me. It is sort of hard to understand. I'm hoping to pass in May.

[@Newbport849]

They make all this shit way more complicated than it should be.
