[@mountaindog1]

Make sure you check out the whole playlist with Dave Tate: kzbin.info/aero/PLNAUreWTt_SghWOesxKjv5EWY33p1qNr0

[@SarGra13]

Please give Tate our sincerest thanks! And thank you John for the entire channel!

[@cohnankotarski]

Yeah man, Tate is such a knowledgeable guy, much respect for him!

[@mr.tbennington]

What a great series. I would love a wall poster with these tips for the home gym

[@robgetek462]

Dave was able to work up to an 800lb squat max without truly understanding the concept of bracing his core. Definitely a beast.

[@mountaindog1]

crazy right!

“Alright hi everybody John meadows here” Day instantly made better

[@fobbitoperator3620]

Yeah, I'm just happy the man is still with us, after that heart scare. He's helping to make us better, healthier men even after his heart attack, with "what I was doing to cause this" lessons he's sharing with us.

Dave is seriously amazing at explaining. Whenever he talks about a lift and the proper way to do it, it feels so clear in my head and i wanna go right into the gym and try it out!

[@BodybyBiggie]

I love that Dave Tate can talk about a squat and I feel like I learn 10 new things even after I've been squatting for >10 years. Legend.

[@alliseeisW]

Super Dave is a natural coach. Humble and awesome at giving feedback to each individual.

[@jayhh4508]

i learned benching from dave's videos like 10 years ago.... He is so clear and knowledgeable ... so many 'youtube experts' are peddling bs here... thank god for D.T. coaching and continuing to teach the gospel of IRON... loved watching this...

[@Joeaxtell]

This video series is so great! Distilling Dave's hour long rants into sharable "short" clips. Thank you so much!

[@slatermauro2092]

I love how he simplifies and gives analogies to explain that all the Q's people tell you are the same thing just different words.

I can listen and always learn from Dave. I understand how he describes everything in depth always. Always keep it real. ☘️ Thanks always John 👍

[@sasi105]

He's explaining it with simple terms that even someone with no bodybuilding experience can understand him

[@thirdintegra]

I agree. The rock vs marshmallow is a brilliant comparison.

[@insert6190]

The broom stick and baseball bat one was a really good one

I'm actually blown away by his ability to explain and make things "click". I'm literally blown away right now at what he's telling me.

[@drekposrani4252]

Great channel John. If not the best fitness youtube channel ever. You can not imagine, how much advice from people like you help us teens and young adults. I am literaly consuming facts each video. Keep it up man

[@LamourTrainingSystem]

The squat bar being even on the back is a good tip. It reminds you how a a coach can see your blind spots.

[@JustenHarden]

Man, I am loving this dual video series. Thank you, John & Dave!

[@scotta.2967]

This channel is pure gold ! Awesome stuff John(and Dave). Thanks !!!

[@removelimitbreak7524]

Such a clever lifter giving great and simple information in an easy to understand way. Loving these videos

[@oglanza4451]

Instant like before even watching, cos you know its gona be quality stuff

[@grapograc]

Dear god, I have goosebumps right now. I had to post a second comment for appreciation of Dave's immense knowledge, there is no replacement for that level of experience. You're ability to translate your experience and make it "click" is unheard of.

[@Zeusbeer]

The eerie ambient sound makes it so much more perfect! I actually love that

[@ynots0625]

Love hearing from both of you and wish I could get yourself or Dave to be my couch. So reassuring and calm with many avenues of getting shit done without over complicating things.

[@hhhhhss6955]

I dont think they can turn into couches tbh

[@PissaniMethod]

I’ll throw one in that’s helped me recently, and I’m no weightlifting expert, just someone getting under the bar with a purpose. Visualization - both in the form of seeing myself performing but also from watching someone like Clarence Kennedy do his 528 lbs for 10. Granted I’m almost 300 lbs shy but that doesn’t matter. Everyone has their own unique perceived exertion. And this is an individual pursuit. So if it helps, watch someone who’s also going through the shit and see how they react - how they breathe, focus, execute. If it’s something worthy, then take it as inspiration and then apply it to yourself. Big time thank you to D.T. for Tip #4 - never once heard that before. Makes total sense.

[@Kyle_402]

Aaaaaand saved this to lifting playlist! Thank you guys for having such passion for lifting, and sharing the knowledge for others. Much respect!

[@ronniefelice2033]

Dave does such a good job at helping me not over think so much. Especially on the squat which is the one lift I struggle with

[@cohnankotarski]

Thanks for the tips John and Tate! I’m definitely going to be implementing these and hopefully my squat will go up 💪🏻

[@brentwilde6055]

I can't thank you and Dave enough for these videos. 👍✌🏋️‍♂️

This just made my day, thanks for this one John! First tip already has me itching for leg day to really focus and try it out.

[@danielszemborski]

Very helpful information that I needed. Thank you Coach Dave!

[@JasonReagan84]

Interesting how Dave Tate recommended beginning with torso movement out of the hole. Starting Strength explicitly says not to do this. But hearing Dave's wisdom im going to try it now.

[@tangodemango]

Thank you for an informative and eye opening video God bless from Australia

Purely based on this video, he might be the best I've seen.

[@andythousand345]

Nice! tip 4 explains A lot . Tip 5 is next level....

[@SkilledFloorGuy]

Thx for this ! Rip mountain dog your videos will help others until the end of time my brother!

[@Jay-we2ek]

A lot of people suck their stomach inwards to prepare for lifting, when really you're supposed to do the opposite. Push your stomach out, then breathe air in. That's how to stay tight in your core.

[@aaronhadley1543]

Really informative can't wait to get back in the gym and squat properly again definitely lost some mass in my legs not being able to. Train them. Properly in lockdown 😭

john please make a video like this for traps! its the most underrated and hardest to train muscle for sure! thete is not much good information out there just the usual useless average shrug stuff, ,maybe some supersets would be very nice to try..something new..

[@Jacked__Josh]

Check out johnnie-o Jackson and his trap work.

[@urgamecshk]

Farmers carries, deadlift w/ shrug at top

[@zyncarla]

Just make sure you’re actually using them on the lifts you’re using to active them. Most people work them a bit on everything without even knowing it. I know everyone’s different and like calves traps are slightly something that helps being genetically gifted for. My traps grow and I don’t do any direct trap work. I see a ton of people shrugging but not actually using their traps to lift the weight go light till you actually feel it. Rows rows and more rows, straight arm pull over row on the cable machine, basically any kind of row that hits upper back hits the traps as well. Or take a 25-45lb plate and do plate raises from your waist up to your eye line keeping your arms not locked out but slightly bent elbows but arms ridged and unmoving

Hi Mr. Meadows I have a quick question. I am 14 years old and am trying to build my arms more but it seems like for a very short period of time they get bigger but then they seem to get smaller and I am confused why, I have tried many training techniques such as drop sets and super sets but they don’t seem to work, I was wondering if you had any tips for me, I also only have access to dumbbells and bands but I use both, Thanks.

Hi John. Does doing 20 mins liss cardio post workout beneficial ? I am 46years old and dont want to come to the gym just for cardio. I am doing a 5 day bro split. 4 exercises of 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps. Thankyou John. Hope you and your family are doing well.

[@juliensamson7496]

I have had some trouble with my squat for the last couple of years. I dont know where it comes from since i have hit personal best a long time ago without it happening. Lower back hurts like hell when i do them. Dont know if i squat high bar or low bar. I guess high since its more common. I realize it must be because when i go up i dont lead with my shoulders and i trail all the way up. I try to focus on it but i dont see results. Any tip regarding that?

[@juliensamson7496]

I tried in the past front squats but i didnt have enough arm/shoulder mobility. Guess i should try that again. Or move my back squat at the end of my lower body push workout so that i would feel more my quads with a lighter weight.

[@juliensamson7496]

Should i streghten my abs? Use a belt?

[@mountaindog1]

you could focus more on leg press and hack squat too
