Thanks for the guide, I started working out recently so this will help

[@DanielGonzalez-pj8nz]

It would help to explain the squat, coming out of the rack. Getting under the bar; shoulder placement; tilting hips under; etc.

[@AimForTheBushes908]

Agreed

[@angelrod934]

Good no 10 min. talking straight to the point

[@defineddragon4840]

@@tambettammisto7423 ok

[@AimForTheBushes908]

Do be

[@adamperkins3125]

Bar rests on upper back is a bit misleading, I would say on top of shoulder blades. If you put it higher where you neck stops it's not ideal.

[@bhbhbhatt6465]

Love it straight to pooint

[@mysticmarauder4842]

good way to explain it but i feel like itd be better to keep the requirments to 3-5 since its hard to remember how to do a exercise when u have to do so many in a workout.

[@valentinapena7903]

Gracias !!

[@lopu11]

pause back squat? still a great video

[@camerongeraghty4709]

Probably too much through the heels. You should still maintain pressure through the forefoot so that your toes aren't lifting off the ground

[@daleg.9673]

Elbows pointed down, not back.

[@Obsidian1392]

They can only point so down before the ball falls of. This is fine

[@TheCherrydee25]

[@quangpham6373]

[@alexgoico]

[@businesskitty8202]

Ya sure locking those knees is a good idea?

[@ark255]

Lol

[@JacobRivera168]

for some weird reason my ancles rise when I get down.

[@Arthurqcirne]

You must have muscle shortening or your muscles aren't strong enough yet - or both. Try substitutes, it might take longer but it's less likely to hurt your back.

[@فِرْناس-ض1ش]

who love leg training and hate ab training

[@trentizlost]

But it's crossfit you need to throw a kip in there and shit all.over your joints

[@mtr654]

First.

[@Superdashie]

Knees are going way to far forward, you’re gonna injure yourself squatting like that.

[@MarshaliniTomasi]

The Human Eye please tell me you're joking 😂😂😂

[@tribelift670]

Who else is here for there LV1? 🔥😃

[@Joe-li3gb]

He’s got problems in his technique. He doesn’t have the correct bar path over his mid foot. His thumbs are places wrong and this is a high bar position and more like a front squat. He’s not working his entire posterior chain therefore he’s not efficient.

[@strengthandmindset5318]

He doesn’t even seem to do proper bracing of the core either.
