STOP Doing Squats Like This (SAVE YOUR JOINTS!)

Comment below what other exercises you'd like me to cover and I'll get on it 👇! Hope this one helps. Happy Squatting! Cheers!

Watched this and your deadlift video. I have to have a wider stance with heels 2’ apart to a) squat to parallel or deep and b) squat and deadlift without rounded back. Squat day today or tomorrow depending n how I’m feeling and I think I’ll get more weight on the bar with more stable form.
I think I’ll move to sumo deadlifts rather than conventional as I have a shorter torso and arms and a long inside leg. I tweaked my back and groin with a conventional stance and straight back. Think my hips were resisting the movement. I can however do conventional with a rounded back without issue. Again I think this will be my hip as stated in the video.

Edit: 2’ heel to heel not toe to toe. Also, with body weight squats, I have found I am able to activate glutes easier alongside quads rather than all quad.

You did not cover most common and most impactful mistake - knee position

Wow super well articulated and well explained video! Thanks again Jeremy!

Thanks Jeremy.

All awesome information, I personally just like to squat parallel since I have no knee or low back pain when I began squatting this way. I also do more of a sumo stance to make sure I target my inner leg. I am gonna start working on ankle mobility more

Asian bloodline and being around 5’5 squatting deep just feels natural

sc

the foot stands outside, i cant do this near parallel i have to short bands. I tell you normal i need a camara in gym to track this, i think i make it total wrong

Wow. I’ve never seen how to find your stance described like this. This is a game changer for me. I’ve always had a lot of hip and joint pain before and never could seem to be able to do a full squat.

Very educational.

This is my problem. Instead to feel my quads I feel my knees and my back which is bad whatever position I have made .

I found a rather simple way to determine the optimal hip positioning: do small frog jumps - the way you land is your optimal position.

Wow, nvr knew ankle and plantar prevent knee flipping sideways and backward to forward then barf. Thanks Professor

at test 1 no matter what i do always i can touch the wall, does that mean i am very flexible and does not matter so much?

Informative video, thank you. This guy must like snakes, because he's turning himself into one with those tattoos ...

I often heard fitness gurus say "brace your core" and it's really tough for me to do so. Is it really necessary? Or as long as you don't do these 4 mistakes, you're good to go?

Thanks!

I have slipped discs on my lower back front squatting, i wish i never did squat.

Also dont forget a good shoe. Squats shoes makes a huge difference.

Anyone here after the tragic death of Justyn Vicky ? I saw the video on Twitter and it's horrible.

Tattoo are hideous attempts by underdeveloped adults to feel and appear special without actually accomplishing anything.

The tripod feet rules is great maintain upright posture!!!

This was so helpful! Thank you!

Thats very interesting about feet pointing out. I was told i have to have my feet straight doing a squat but it always feels very unnatural and i feel has effected me negatively as my natural feet position is to point out a bit.

Those pointed toe shoes are shit for your foot

If at the end of the full sets your feet feel like having been dunk into the floor and smooshed, it means you did right… if your lumbar spine hurt… think about pushing on your legs to stand up… you should not pull up with your back!!!

Very knowledgeable video for joints.

I feel like my teammates will make fun of me if use weights under my heels but my ankles are so immobile

Just do Bulgarian Split Squats instead. Way better, way less load on your spine, no imbalances on a leg.

what an amazing video! thank you

Spine dau

this channel rocks, my form appears to be pretty good but its always good to be mindful of mistakes, as well as having a more concrete reason as to why we do things a certain way. thx bro

re-opened my old herniated discs in my lower back because of one bad set of squats. Was on a "no heavy lifting" program for a year and eating pain killers 24/7. So this is really important!

Wow, that first tip was super helpful! I kept trying to "correct" my stance to match that of how I observed others doing it. But after taking your advice and making some adjustments, I can squat with the same weight, but more comfortably and no pinch points in my thighs.

I just started gym a month ago and I review these videos every night to make sure I have a correct posture the next day.

Thank you so much for the tips. I need to go back to square one with my squats. I did myself an injury some weeks back. 😊

What lifting shoes would you recommend?

Incredible video 😮

Thank you so much. So informative!! As a new trainer I want to teach proper form and lighter weight. Thank you for the excellent science based visual aid helpers. You are doing such an amazing job for the whole fitness community!

Interesting. This guy has over 5 million followers and he's fear-mongering. I learned something completely different from one of the premier S&C researchers in the world, and from some of the best sports medicine physicians in the world. It's a shame people like this guy exist and take advantage of how gullible people are.

Hey guys can I combine the heel elevated squats with the pause squats? So like a heel elevated pause squat?

What is a good squat stance and width to minimize groin strain specifically to minimize agrevating an existing inguinal groin hernia? Also would a Smith machine be better in this condition vs using a free barbell weight?

Very informative video. Thanks
