The 3 Best Things I've Done For My Squat This Year

[@alexanderohgren1403]

1. Started a tren cycle 2. Dianabol when feeling sore 3. Started Bulgarian routine

[@inky4690]

i just micro dose dianabol so i never get sore

[@xMakaveIix]

Day one, take one pill. One pill in, one pill out Day two, take two pills. Two pills in, one pill inside, one pill out Day three, take three pills. Three pills in, two pill inside, one pill out - Uncle Ivan of Bulgaria

What's with the PED trolling on this video, did I miss something?

[@alexanderohgren1403]

@@teatowel11 in sikastan, anabolics are mandatory. Nah but it's a gag they created, "sikastan" so now we all joke about it!

If you don't want to watch the video, the main points are: 1. He Stopped bracing 2. He bought heel deficit shoes (better ankle mobility) 3. Started wearing a blindfold (Dr. Seedman's recommendation)

[@atlasbailly5439]

blindfold definitely the most important point here. if you dont have your own and go to a commercial gym, just ask at the front desk and they will give you one

[@dasdos002]

🤣🤣🤣

[@andreabarone4964]

He be getting that 50 shades of grey pump

[@sdcard08]

This is the best.

[@clintiacuone1703]

Don’t forget 4. Utilised 90 degree eccentric isometrics🤣

[@KeroroTaichou]

I squat, therefore I am.

[@dasdos002]

Ego sedent habentes ergo sum. That’s awesome.

In Sikastan they feed the livestock with Eoin’s quads. The cows give birth by doing air snatches.

[@mellpear4773]

Interestingly that lots of upper back rowing volume has paid off. This is exactly same philosophy as Dan Green, one of best Raw Squatters in the world. He says you can never do too much upper back work and has an insane amount of rows in his programme

[@dustinriley201]

With consistency and hard work, trenny things possible

[@arpussupra]

Nice insight Eoin! I immediately thought about Cailer Woolam who said these type of "body english" rows are his no1 assistance exercise for a stronger back.

[@kuhenelan]

I have some feedback for whoever edits these videos. It would be great if the list of 3 things were floating somewhere to the right of the speaker and gets created as he is speaking. Really makes it much easier to follow. Thanks for the great content lads!

[@gagisha2437]

best thing he did, took trening really seriously

[@andrewchartrand3255]

Awesome video thanks man. Love watching. Then i spend the rest of the time reading comments section. Cause sika comment threads are full of legends. So fucking good!!! What a bunch of beauties 🤣🤣

[@ericooliveira9693]

Belt squats are for real. I started doing them after seeing you lads programmed them into Hadyn's training, and also seeing Zack's video on how taller lifters might approach the squat. It sounds like bullshit but within just a few of weeks of doing them noticed a good strength and even size increase in my quads despite the fact I had already been back squatting for a fair amount of time.

[@patrickmiller7963]

I love how Gurph wears eGirl jeans to squat. Got them sexy premade cuts in the thigh!

[@smolboyi]

Thanks for another helpful, dope video

[@joewwright92]

Heavy barbell rows really helped with my deadlift for the same reason.

[@polgzz]

Awesome video, Eoin. Very helpful, as always. I would add that it was easier to watch thanks to adding more parts of your training as a reference for your words. Audio quality in Sikastan has always been exquisite, I'm happy to see the video editing going up as well! 👏👏. Keep'em comming guys!

[@captainflexasaurus8318]

I have a similar body type and I had the same issue. I was recovering from a knee injury, my physical therapist at the time recommended I do lunge/single leg touchdowns because my knees were coming out more than they needed too and I could use my hips better. As a result, the squat movement feels better. I wonder when it comes to anatomy, is there common issues that similar body type individuals experience.

[@fazzolarijames]

Hearing you talk about it Eoin, I might also have excessive forward knee travel. Something to think about - thanks!

[@swanson652]

Great video! I think the part of having too much forward knees also applies to me unfortunately

[@misterf7739]

Would you do a review of those Spyder shoes?

[@bigengine74]

How are Pendlay rows different to barbells rows with the muscles they activate?

[@sikastrength]

A greater amount of hip flexion, lengthened hamstring and a more horizontal torso angle. Leads to greater recruitment of upper back recruitment and posterior chain.

[@SOC-ir6im]

Great video...subbed! 👍

[@stephenjlewis1976]

Tree tings!

[@euanmorse]

1. Have gurph’s mega quad genetics 2. Work ethic 3. ? 4. Profit

[@dasdos002]

Great video!

[@DredFulProductions]

In Sikastan legs train you.

[@leftphilange69]

You guys really upping the workload of video production lately - awesome stuff and I hope it pays off in the algo/new subscribers!

[@luacosta9066]

hey sika, probably a silly question, i recently tore my acl, unfortunately im not able to get surgery. I am a Carpenter by trade just to give you an idea on what i do daily. Think i can eventually squat later are on when my knee is back, not to normal, but back to feeling better? Whats your thoughts? Have any exercises in mind? Much appreciated, you guys are great.

[@corryface]

I tore my acl twice bud, not able to do a graft for the 2nd repair so im currently without an acl for the past 5 years now. Been squatting away now but i just stay conservative, low and slow. Ive found back step lunges are a good unilateral exercise work on, feels like less stress on the knee where the stability is poor.

[@croceaMors1]

it shouldnt have a massive long term impact on your squat (you can even squat without the presence of an acl), you may want to start squatting light to a high box with even just bodyweight to start and within a month or six weeks of increasing weight and decreasing the size of the box you can eventually take the box away and be back to squatting normally. The main thing is to keep moving through the greatest comfortable range of motion that you can and take it slow and steady but consistent in your recovery.

[@jordanvaughan5754]

Get the hammies and soleus super strong, they act as secondary ACLs as they draw the tibia posteriorly - so prevent excessive anterior translation like the acl. I’d start with more hip dominate squat variations then ease into more knee dominate variations

[@luacosta9066]

wow, thank you all for the feedback

[@croceaMors1]

@@luacosta9066 no problem man. What the other man was saying about a more hip dominant squat is important too so consider changing to lowbar to protect knees. You'll be fine if you're sensible but not scared

[@finlaybindoff8669]

Good vid lads

[@Phsoco]

I spent a good 3 minutes trying to work out how the pen is standing up like that

[@wrf85]

squats baby!

[@Baris2gs]

If knee travel is too forward, can one start squatting with flat shoes to prevent that?

[@lucasskrobish2473]

My dad will never give me squat the nod of approval

[@hasanc1526]

Which squat rack are you using?

[@matthewmckee6289]

What I need for my squat? Stanozolol would be great…

I would summarize this improvement as "suspicious". All the rest is just a smoke screen.
