The EASIEST Squat Technique Mistake To Fix

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Note that to illustrate my point between muscularly locking down a brace vs simply expanding 360 degrees, this video of Chad Wesley Smith is an example of NOT locking down. No shade of course to a fellow OG, but this is a good visual of the contrast - kzbin.info/www/bejne/boiVgWysYrqto8k I'll make more quick tip type videos that are sharable since I see many of the same mistakes still. So share this, and I'll keep making more easy to digest ones!

BRO THIS IS THE FUCKING PERFECT TIMING DUDE.

[@andyvargas5249]

Great point johnny, to many lifters do this 💯

[@Mfran3599]

When is the cut coming Joooonnnnieee???

[@johnno8586]

He wants to Squat 300 first no?

[@footballover01]

One way to successfully do this is what I heard from Mitchell Hooper, feel your back expand into the belt, it makes a big difference to my bracing

[@19HM98]

Chris duffin is the man for this. I like to brace, breath, brace further, then squat. By bracing first, it helps to cue bracing as an independent quality to breathing, and it prevents the exaggerated extended positions I sometimes find myself in when taking a deep breath (flared chest etc)

[@kwhuisman]

But I never heard Chris say to flex the abs after a "pressure brace"

[@feelzgoodmane6517]

Brace, breathe in, brace harder. I like this cue. Will try it.

[@deeznutsfoo]

Not for me. Breathe before the brace is more effective for me. Like he says in the video, it limits the expansion. Just my experience though

[@Hirooshii1]

The elitefts, dave tate breath que really helped me out. Breath as deep as you can through your nose first, then the remainder with your mouth and push into your belt in the front but also the back, just filling it up fully against the whole belt.

[@JammyJD]

Good tip, thanks. My issue with breathing in is sometimes I can end up with a head rush 😅

[@kwhuisman]

Weird tip, open up your eyes a lot, as wide as possible.

[@JammyJD]

@@kwhuisman are you trolling me? 😂

[@kwhuisman]

@@JammyJD no, it really takes off some off the pressure from your head.

[@geralln]

OOOHHHH JHONNIE

[@Worlds.Strongest.Mauro10]

I only brace deliberately when hitting calves

[@cheeks7050]

So never?

[@weq7]

great short and sweet vid! keep these coming!

[@alexandereast4072]

thank you my g

[@mariomolnar3184]

I really focus on this without even noticing until you now mentioned it

[@JimmieABES]

The Chosen One has returned

[@plork100]

I definitely dont always do this. Only on my heaviest squats. Probably should be doing this more

[@2080bop]

Sending this to someone rn

[@BearGryllsSpoofs]

Looking like the strongest devil Billy goat hybrid there’s ever been 💪👹🐐

[@drschwandi3687]

How would you incorporate something like this with higher rep sets? Like for example on romanian deadlifts, do you rebrace on every rep?

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

Rebrace at the top of each rep (or every 2-3, whatever you can manage without feeling like you're going to pass out)

[@tvbuster]

Thank you for this video! One question- do you ever do two or three reps with the single breath and brace?

[@euclxd8033]

everytime i do this, I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Any tips? I breath out after the rep and rebrace.

[@kwhuisman]

Wait whut! I heard the bracing thing a 1000 times, deep breath, inhale in your belly, extend all around the midsection...but you're the first that mentioned (or I never heard it ..) to flex the abs after that! I will give that a try ext squat session.

[@Davichiz]

totes feeling attacked right now

[@samuelcaicedoserna2728]

So its not just punching against the belt, one must also flex the abs while doing so? Never thought of that

[@sranradojcic4788]

Do you prefer people to breathe in and then brace or to brace and breathe into the brace?

[@deeznutsfoo]

Video says breathe in and then brace. Which i believe is the best way as well. I used to brace, breathe, then brace. Bracing after the breathe is better in my personal experience. Feels more solid

[@radreynolds8978]

Does this still help beltless?

[@azulsimmons1040]

I wonder if this will work if I don't use a belt.

[@Several_People]

I'm pretty sure it will, since the belt is just "another layer" in my own words. 🤷‍♂️

[@Danomax]

Rip when he fails with the spotters at 1:15

[@simonbotch]

Jonnie, I say this out of love. Please do something with the facial hair. It’s gotta go.

[@briefcasemanx]

Please don't listen to this, Jonnie. Please flex the facial hair even harder. Accentuate that shit.

[@benjaminmacintyre349]

Another thing you can do that steve denovi and marcellus is pretty big on, is bracing against the belt BEFORE inhaling

[@IncompletenessTheorem]

OHHH JONNIE

[@ethansink3116]

Under their belt, i see what u did there

[@husky8547]

great video but the effects are too loud 😭😭

[@StarcraftDr]

Yesssssssss

[@buffetline2605]

Bricked

[@rauldelgadillo8447]

Curious what you'd say about my squat where I take my breath before I unrack and hold it through the first rep. Basically breath in, swing under, pop up, one step back, wait a second to balance, squat.

[@cheeks7050]

It's funny watching powerlifters overthink some of the most simple movements a human can do, because the sport is not very complicated and brain needs to think about something lmao.

[@kischinhevsky]

dude, the sound effects are so loud and distracting

This is wrong, you dont flex your abs, you concentrate on not building pressure in your head and you concentrate on an even lift spreading your force everywhere. the body will automatically brace your core
