The Official Squat Form Checklist [Are You Squatting Wrong?]

Very bad when going down. My tendons and knee joints screaming just by looking at it. Feet parallel and femurs out. Arthritis, at least, guaranteed.

Is there a chance I don't need that little hinge? I feel so much more quad* activation when I just go down

thanks for the tips.

Dumbell squats are better bro! Barbells are for people who hate their spines.

Knee can pass the toes or not?

Whenever I squat, my lower back gets pretty sore afterward. Is that a muscle group that these squats work, or is it a result of bad form, and what can I do to fix it?

I've noticed that when you squat your knees go over your knees. Is that expected? TBMK this is a bad practice for your knees. Am I missing something?

What I'm confused about is that Tashiki Yamamoto said to take and hold a deep breath in your chest before squatting, not in your stomach. According to him, that's what he did when squat over 300kg. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Can you deadlift in a power cage?

Great video, easy and clear instructions and good explanations of why. Thank you!

E aprendido mucho con tus consejos👍👌

Amazing video, please do one for bench press as well

Just lowered the hight on rack. I can now do a low bar squat. Thought everyone else were weird shoulder/back contorting weirdos to get the bar to sit there.

hey just wondering shouldn't the knees point the same way as our foot? can someone gimme clarity on that?

Pinch your scapulae together so as to create that “shelf” upon which the bar will rest BEFORE you put it on your upper back.

Anyone else realise how lopsided he is

I surrender squats I have tried everything I think, form fixes, mobility exercises, different variations, using supporting equipment, limited rep ranges. Every Time my back is in agony and my legs are not tired at all, somehow I do 140kg leg extensions for reps but can't do a 60kg barbell squat to failure not even close the pain becomes too overwhelming ingues I'm not built for it but that's ok their are other options for me. Thank for all the information if I had a chance these vids would if definitely made the difference

If you could do this with every major exercise that would be great lol

For IAP, what if I feel a lot of pressure in my throat?

So when you say tension I. The bar and pull down during your setup. What your also saying is all these bent bars from bad manufacturers was because the engineers didn't account for the pull strength of the powerlifter who doesn't have an outlet in their sport for their lats? Interesting.

But yeah I didn't know about pulling the bar down. Maybe that will help with my troubled shoulders during setup.

Anyone thats 15 years or younger should watch this channel past that, please go see an acctual trainer

How do I know whether I'm the exception to the feet rule? I've been opening the angle of my feet a lot and feel way more confortable that way, could I be doing it wrong anyway?

I’ve dealt with a lot of knee injuries due to flat feet. This is the first time i’ve seen someone else do those knee rotations. I can’t even squat at all without doing that.

This all makes sense. I recently had a chiropractor tell me to arch my back when squatting and that just didn’t feel right.

Do you grip the floor with your toes and then turn your knees out or turn your knees and then grip the floor?

What mental cue are you using to stand up from the bottom?

Never walk around with the bar on your shoulders. One step back is enough to get into position. The more steps you take the bigger the risk. Also, that rack is total crap. You don't want metal profiles where your feet are. You will eventually step on it and that can make you lose balance and fall. Bin it and get a proper one.

Thanks, this is helping me big time. Always struggled with squats.

God Bless you Dr Horschig

Even before the bar at right height - Are you wearing the right shoes?

Today is leg day and I have not been able to do squats for the past couple weeks due to strange pains. I just tried a body weight squat using your corkscrew/planting the toes and it felt really solid. So I am excited to try to squat again today.

That knee rotation is huge! First set in forever pain free.

This is great! Squats have always felt so uncomfortable and unstable for me. Knees caving. Turning into a good morning, etc.

Going to try implementing all this!

Thank you for this, I no longer feel it in my back and can feel my quads lighting up instead.
Game changing, thanks

Why does it feel like I’m totally out of breath doing squats? (Same with dead lift and bar bell rowing but not with any other exercise) and how do I fix it?

This is so incomplete, you don't say anything about the actual squat movement (for example how low to go)

how do i make me knees turn outward like that?

No mention of depth?

Good

After 3 years of trying, I still fall backwards when I dip too low... Cursed

It's hard to take advice from chicken legs

You talk too much, go straight to the technique

What is this thing that People always know the best way to do this, never look good, skinny legs, skinny body, etc etc, if they know it the best , why do they look like sh.t!!
