Stop Squatting Like This (AWFUL!!)

If you are looking to improve your squat, then this is a must watch video for you. When it comes to a well executed squat, bar path cannot be overlooked. The fastest and most efficient path from point A to point B is a straight line. The more efficient you are with a movement, the more weight you will be able to move and therefore the more gains you will see from your training.

When I’m correcting an athletes bar path in the squat there are a few things I look at. How is the bar descending and then how is it ascending as the athlete comes out of the bottom of the squat. A common flaw is to pitch the head forward. A common cause for this particular fault is quad weakness. In the case of quad weakness the body attempts to recruit the stronger muscles of the posterior chain.
This is easily diagnosed by asking the athlete to perform a pause squat. Often the ability to properly hold a squat in the bottom position under control will reveal that it is not the quads as to do a paused squat properly requires significant quad strength. Some other causes for improper bar path are poor set up, lack of mobility; especially dorsiflexion in the ankle. Inefficient bar path could also indicate a weakness in the upper back specifically in the scapular retractors.
If an athlete has a strong upper back, it’s possible that they lack the muscular endurance to maintain it. They can stay tight in the set up but somewhere during the lift they get lax and lose the requisite upper back rigidity causing them to lurch forward. The last cause that we’ll cover in this video is habitual patterning. This is often caused by a previous injury that the athlete has sustained.
As a response to an injury the body will sometimes develop inefficient movement patterning to accommodate the injury. Once the injury heals the patterning has become so ingrained in the athletes movement that they continue to demonstrate it.
Whatever the reason is for your crooked bar path you need to address it. There’s no point slapping more weight on the bar and fooling yourself into thinking that you’re getting stronger. All you are doing is putting the problem off until it refuses to be ignored. That usually comes in the form of an injury and when you’re talking about the king of all exercises, the squat, there’s often hundreds of pounds of weight involved. Not a good idea.
If you want to get stronger and move better not just with the squat but on every lift you do then you have to start focusing on doing the things that help you to improve at every opportunity. Athletes take every element of their training seriously and leave no room for error. If you are looking to train like an athlete and get more out of every workout you do, head to athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Also went from a size 40 to 36 pants. So I am contacting you for some advice, just a week ago while lifting an air conditioner I felt a click on my left knee, just had an X Ray and mri performed, which showed a small meniscus lateral tear. I was told since it is small the best solution is to go in and file down the tear but I will to rest for about three weeks. The other option since I never had swelling nor do I feel pain is to leave it alone and try physical therapy. Not sure which route to go, would appreciate your honest professional opinion. Sadly I will put my workouts to a stop until i decide. Again, thanks for putting science back into workout, great videos I am sure have helped millions. All the best, James.

After filming myself I realized I had the forward leaning problem on the upward movement part of the squat. I had two problems with my form: 1. I was positioning the bar too far to the back (see Problem #1 in this video), something that's called low bar squat. 2. I was not aligning my pelvis with my torso (butt was out) before starting the downward movement. Adjusting the bar to be at the "high bar" position and bringing my pelvis in fixed my squat form. Thanks AthleanX and Alan Thrall for the great videos.

[@FiTSplitz]

Ok jeff, i know ur like the godfather of fitness on KZbin but please, Dorsiflexion is when you move the tip of your foot close to the shin not the other way around, that does not happen in a squat.

Hello Jeff! Thank you for your great content! I have a question about this video; not on the Squat, but rather on how you're doing Face Pulls. In another video, you're explaining how the wrists wins the race over elbows when travelling backwards in Face Pulls. However, that's not what I'm seeing here. Wanted to know more about the differences between the two forms! Thank you in advance, and I appreciate your work.

[@Alpha-wz2qu]

Right? I was thinking exactly that too. He said your elbows should never beat the wrists to the end but he seems to be doing that in this video

[@MightyAntelope]

I believe it’s because the purpose of facepulls here instead of say other videos is that this is for the stability and strength of the lower traps in order to hold the weight on the back well, in contrast to normally beating the elbows with the wrist as that is more mechanically targeting the rotator cuff which is structurally weak with the large proportion of people and useful for most upperbody push movements, hope this helped at all

Because it’s leg day. Bros don’t like leg day. :D

Other "professionals" that disagree with his assessments..

[@مازنمحمد-غ4ف]

Maybe people who still think that knees shouldn't pass the toes.

[@rumbarumba1]

So true, face pulls including good mornings and squats have been amazing for my round shoulders , core and posture

[@tylerhoule9970]

This finally helped me solve my squat problem! Literally saved me

[@ahmadhussain8645]

For a second I thought Jeff was telling us to stop squatting

[@annapietrasik3837]

Hi Jeff, thanks for this video! But I have a question - what do you think about squatting with chondromalacia patella? I would be extremely grateful, if you share your thoughts/tips. Thanks in advance!

[@pourtaff141]

dont even squat, nor Lunge nor Leg Extension

[@andrewk612]

Rest ice compress elevate, if this happend recently. If you are in recovery work on hamstring flexibility and address your running form (if it developed from running) or even walking form and look into shoe inserts. People who walk or run flat footed often develop this.

[@sr20mar]

Everytime I squat I can hear my knee grinding what can I do to strengthen my legs? Please! Help 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@martinv1995]

Have you tried Barbell reverse lunges?

[@Donteverlook4videos]

Take the weight off and target muscles individually

[@jfrizzle626]

Pizza makes it better

[@unknownici]

SR20MAR try leg extension with rather light weight before the squats to warm your legs up and get the blood into your muscles. After the squats you can do the „heavy“ leg extension.

[@pazdeol86]

Fish and fish oils, lower the weight and focus on form.

This fella knows his stuff! Only thing he forgot to mention in this clip is bearhug squats with a sandbag. A great auxillerie exercise to go with regular squats if you are having problems keeping your back straight. It's very hard to do bear hug sandbag squats with a rounded back!

It is my dream to train in such a beautifully equipped gym..very unlike the huge commercial ones....the flooring is to die for.....somedayyyy...
