The Squat You NEED To Be Doing! (SUMO SQUAT)

[@brittany6495]

Impressed!! A real person who actually understands form, pelvic tilt, gives a reason why we don't want the bad form that we may have, speaks slowly and showing each movement. I've recently moved from my amazing trainer who taught me all these techniques. So glad to find your videos for new exercises to know what the form should be!

[@MindPumpTV]

Glad the video was up to your standards!

that means we are fake?😂

Sumo squat is the only way i know how to squat without getting knee pain

[@Dr.WhetFarts]

same but i don't care because my quads are big and sumo squat hits hams and glutes alot more.

[@greattribulation3759]

Me too, but it’s because I dance so I have a flexible hip/pelvic area. If I try to do conventional, I cannot accomplish any depth.

[@Pepijn289]

@@greattribulation3759 I can also not reach any depth, I think due to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6eWfYJofNyjd80 It made a lot of sense to me

[@KnuckleHead1983]

Agreed and for me it’s more comfortable overall.. before that I was doing goblet squats which were better for me than the regular squat but sumo is my favorite now.. I do high reps each set(20+ reps) and I love the burn and the pump I get from doing them

[@usmanrauf4249]

Try wearing knee wraps. And readjust your stance in the presence of a trainer.

Thanks Adam appreciate love you guys been listening to mindpump almost a year, seen the best results since listening to you guys! Thank you for giving my gym and health experience so much value! You guys are awesome keep up the great work!

[@cynthiagarcia8254]

“Squeeze the abs, almost like your gonna fart”. No, I’m going to fart for real doing this😂

[@brandonbaldwin8567]

Don't exhale at the bottom of the squat, coming up is the hardest bit so you want to stay tight to have maximum stability which will allow you to lift more weight.

[@PierreRousselot]

Exactly. That was a weird claim. Exhaling as you approach the top of your squat is fine, but I've never heard a trainer tell you to exhale at the bottom of the squat. It seems pretty easy to tell the difference in your bracing and strength if you try both methods.

[@Raise.the.Bar.Training]

It is mentioned in the video that the sumo squat should be done more upright (high bar)in order to emphasize glute recruitment, but doesnt a more upright position create a shorter moment arm from the hip axis and a longer moment arm from the knee axis and, as a result, shifts some of the required force production back onto the quads?

[@irismartinez4063]

I'm at home right now and since i don't have a barbell here the results may differ with one, but i don't feel my glutes at all when doing this. I only feel my adductors, and a bit of my knees, but not my glutes... so i'll try this at a gym and hopefully i'll feel my glutes with a barbell on my back.

[@MikkoMurmeli]

I've watched my fair share of these kinda videos of different channels, but you explain things really well here. One of my PTs already told me a wider stance in leg press helps you to activate those upper back thighs and glutes, but I was pretty oblivious of the other stuff you taught here. Big thanks!

[@michaelballard676]

I feel like doing sumo squats makes it easier for me to get depth on the squat and keep my back straight. I like it

My hips just will not let me do these. I’ve been doing mobility exercises for 5 months. 34 yrs old I hope my hips open

[@GagoGamesYT]

Really good video

[@relaxedandlovingit]

I was told you should never squat lower than when your butt wink appears - you squat further than your butt wink. What are your thoughts on this?

[@snehasishdev3296]

it puts pressure on knees, dats wat i knew

[@peterdornholm8358]

Also heard that. The hip should stay in neutral position with the spine. Butt wink is a sign of not enough hamstring mobility. What are your thoughts on this, Adam Schafer ?

[@killthemall55]

that is correct. you should look up hip mobility exercises if you wanna get rid of your buttwink. because in modern day and age, we almost never squat down on our feet. we just sit down on chair or toilet. hence the awful hip mobility.

[@oscarperez5539]

Can i do this with a trapbar?

[@Mr-ye1vu]

No

[@catharinealexander89]

Is the stick test still applicable with a regular seep squat? I notice when my butt gets down to the ground I lose contact with the stick at the bottom by my tailbone.

[@mifster83]

tried different variations of wide stance twice, had to rest over a week each time due to hip pain. Guess I stick to narrow

[@MindPumpTV]

mifster this actually really common . Refer to our 90/90 hip mobility video. If you still need more help after that we have a program called “prime pro” that is designed for correctional work and addresses every major joint in the body .

Stick with what works for you.

I always feel like I'm gonna faint when I brace during a squat

[@dvsmike]

You're activating the vagus nerve during the brace, this controls a lot of different parts from diaphragm to the brain. An excited Vagus will affect the blood pressure and can cause you to pass out.

[@youraveragejoeyt]

For me my tail bone tucks under excessively when I squat… I mean not like a little butt wink but fully tucks in & under, before I even hit parallel. This happens with back squat & bodyweight squats. I also struggle to keep extension in my upper spine. I’ve been working on mobility using the combat stretch & 90/90 but noticed that if I perform a goblet squat or hold a weight out in front of me, I see less butt wink (not complete difference but enough to notice the difference). So I wondered whether this is something to do with my mobility or maybe it’s more of an imbalance for me from anterior to posterior chain 🤷🏻‍♂️ If anyone has any advice I would be more than happy to receive it. Last thing! When deadlifting, I have pretty good mobility, I can keep my spine in a neutral position even with heavy weights, but like I said with squats, even just bodyweight I tend to struggle at keeping my spine neutral.

[@hiraya5296]

this happened to me too, and the last time i thought it was a hip mobility issue. it turns out, i had tight ankles and it wasn't allowing me to position my hips properly, as demonstrated by this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2SrnXh8lKpsnNE&feature=share8 anyways i fixed it now by following the mobility exercises in the vid. i hope this helps : )

You're not going to be able to "Feel" the inner vs outer head, just do the curls and be done.

[@blairmonkman7507]

Why is he talking about adduction, and glute medius its funtion is is abduction not adduction. I was under the impression it had more an effect on your adductors on the inside of your leg, i certainly feel more activation on the inside of my leg vs my glute medius.

"How I know if I am this exercises right or wrong?" Did ya outsource your captioning guys? :-) Nice vid. I previously thought sumo squats were done with one dumbbell held between your legs as you squat. This is a nice variation to try.

You're describing a goblet squat. Another good variation

Ok, you are going really low with your hips but your back is getting out of fisiological position...

[@volkankurkun8345]

You think you have knowledge about human anatomy, well think again. We are vertebrae which means our back is designed to fully flex.The stick trick merely serves other purposes when teaching squats. All back problems are multi-factoral and really have nothing to with the gym. The deadlift is always conducted with a flexed spine not in lordosis. But yeah, let's tie a stick around the back and let sleep all day long to make sure nothing happens with our back and lose a ton of strength in the process with a weakened back.
