Squat Mastery Guide: Advanced Bracing Techniques & Biomechanics

[@bymork]

This series is so underrated - having both watched powerlifting content on YT and trained for a decade, you’re one of the best! TY Brendan!

Probably havent learned more about powerlifting techniques from any single other person than yourself over the past 5 years or so, thanks a ton!

In short: lengthen the posterior (pulling down the glutes and countering the lumbar extension), then shorten the anterior by simply lowering those ribs and driving your lats towards your obliques... you've become a barrel (rather than a straw)... but thanks Brenden, you added a lot to my awareness of this. "BRACE before breathing" - that really helped a lot! (I was trying to do at same time, definitely screws it up).

Omg 27 minutes on squat bracing , what a treat love it thank you for sharing. Also found your deadlift brace video…. Pure gold. Can’t wait for your e books. I hope there’s a master deadlift bracing video down the line.

watching this one for the 2nd time bc is that good and that complex! I live for the advanced techniques series 🤩

[@NopainNoGain-wq8bn]

Excited for a hard squat and deadlift session in an hour! 👹 Definitely enforcing that bracing!!

[@MrYokyScape]

probably the best bracing video on youtube i've seen. nasal breathing was a game changer for my brace. one thing i've been doing lately is 1 set of leg raises (far from failure) before my squatting or deadlifting just to engage the core better.

Interesting....I always packed air, THEN braced. Going to try this next squat day.

[@liyev]

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

[@BrandonLumbra]

Thanks for the great video! I love to see someone breaking down every aspect of what I consider the hardest and most complicated of the three lifts. I was wondering if you or your clients have any experience using something like Bas Rutten’s O2 Trainer to train diaphragmatic breathing or think there could be any merit to it to strengthen bracing ability?

I was always confused as to why they called it the vasalva I thought I was the only one. 😂 great video once again my man appreciate it! 👍

I tend to feel my core getting distended while lowering as I get close to the hole.

[@IronRoadWarrior]

👏🏾

[@anihroxxor]

Ok I braced totaly wrong lol

[@OrionHumphrey]

While I believe I perform both of the steps well, the order I do them in is reversed. I will be trying your way tonight.
