There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a wussy

Misquoted by Mark Rippetoe​


Face it. Squats are the King of all exercises. Whether you're an athlete, bodybuilder, powerlifter, or weekend warrior you need to squat.

This is by far the best free video series on squatting you will ever find. Everything you could want to know can be found here. I think this will help even the most advanced athletes in the quest for bigger lifts and bigger legs.

Not bad!

Two things I would suggest,,, bring your stance in a little and drive your knees out when coming out of the hole :)

HMM ok I thought with stance go as wide as you can without it bein uncomfortable when squatting for lbs rather than mass...

What do you mean about the knees? They seem to wobble in slightly but I dont even notice that when im squatting or know why it happens...
 
Use whatever stance you re comfortable with.

Your knees appear to buckle in when comming out of the hole. This is a common error. Letting your knees come in will eventually cause some knee problems.

Why haven't you bought SS yet? The pointers and form discussed in the book would help you greatly. It did me.

Ah yeah allright, they do that when I go too wide and my stance was pretty wide in that vid.

Just not got round to buyin it, been on holiday too... Gotta check the price anyway not got loads of £££ to spend atm 15th bday in 4 weeks though...
 
Yah when I dont concentrate on it I do lean forward slightly then I notice and sit back, its not from a weak lower back not bein able to take the load its just Im concetrating on so many things - stay on heals, look up, drive my ass up and forward, make sure i move than damn weight, try not to let knees buckle etc

I dunno if you can see in the vid but I sit back a bit more as I come up too, thats when I notice Im coming forward, I guess this will just take practice...
 
Is there really a difference between wider and narrower stance if your primary goal is to get stronger and gain overall mass (body wise and not just in legs) ?
 
wow those are some great videos. I love squats and do them just about every workout! They kick my butt, literally. I also am a huge fan of bulgarian squats.
 
really great post Southern!

if anyone has any questions about form or anything to do with squatting really they should take a video and post it here along with their concerns. videotaping your own lifts and reviewing them is the best thing you can do. You can really see what you are doing in reality, rather than trying to feel what you are doing.
 
Wonderful thread.

The second video; good morning squats really shined some light on my bad form. I've been doing the good morning thing out of the hole and haven't realized it. I think I was just concentrating too much on hip drive and not enough on lifting my head up.
 
I sometimes good morning slightly on my last reps of a set. I heard that happens from 2 things - looking down and not driving hips forward & having a weak lower back. Is this correct?

See Squat Rx video #2- GMing Out Of The Hole.
Click to expand...

interesting. I'd followed rippettoe and allowed my hips to rise at the bottom of the movement. I thought that allowed the glutes/hams to work more (but he seems to suggest its for people who are quad dominant????)
 
When you start back up, hips activate and follow your head up. If quads are too dominant then hams won't be able to provide support. You end up redistributing the weight forward into a GM.

Same thing as a cheat curl when you end up wildly swinging your torso back back because the weight is just too heavy. You're seeking a more advantageous leverage.

Posterior chain will be worked more if you widen your stance.

I'm not sure I answered your question.

Cant really see exactly what you are doing, we need a video shot from the side. One thing i can see is you are doing your box squats incorrectly. You need to sit back on the box and pause, relax your hips, and explode off the box. You are just squatting down to it and touching it with your ass. The whole point of box squats is to build power in the hips to get out of the hole. Take another video of you squatting from a side view so I can really break down your squat.

if yuo read the description on my YT video, it says I was just using the box so that I knew when I was at parallel. I realised after that I was about 1 inch above parallel or less. These weren't box squats.

Ill get a some better vids on monday though.
 
I need some advice. An old school body builder (the guy is in his 70's now) has recommended to place my heels on 2x4's while squatting. He claims that this will keep one from getting a "squatters butt". What do you guys think of this piece of advice?
 
No clue. I am assuming a bubble butt from squatting. What do you think about elevating one's heels on 2x4's while squatting? Will this affect the effectiveness of the exercise?

I don't think it's a bad advice! Charles Poliquin includes it on his clients routines, but only has part of the whole squat routine, for example in the same workout doing a couple of sets like he sugested, a couple of front squats, sumo squats, oly squats etc.
 
I've been squatting now for about a month every other day on a 5x5 routine for the most part, I've been out of the game for 4 yrs and even before that I've never really done free squats being stationed on an Aircraft carrier for 4 yrs I had to use a Smith Machine due to Rocking.. I'm having some knee problems, I've been using soft shoes latly but moved to barefoot lastnight, and felt alot better, I also asked a personal trainer at the gym to evaluate my squat and he said it looked good but on the other hand he recommended a smith machine too.. lol... So not sure how to take that.. (I'll post a vid next time i get the chance for a critique) I started doing abut 65-85lbs 3 weeks ago and am able to squat 185 clean for 2-3 reps now after 3 weeks of working on form and muscle memory coming back and what not.. But my knees are starting to ache now and it's pretty tough getting up, muscles are fine, jus the knees.. Was thinking tendons and ligaments might not be strong enouph yet. I warm up using either bike or elliptical and spend about 5min stretching my Hamstring an working my hip and other leg stretches from the videos posted, I'm am far from flexible yet and have alot of work to do to get to where u are in flexibility probably, I'm doing a full ATG squat and go past parallel. Is this good since I'm not flexible yet and was also wondering if I should go pick up a couple of wraps to help out as well???

I also have a little trouble getting outta the hole with any weight even just the bar, but once past parallel it's all good

I think posting the video of you squatting will help with the advice part. About the smith machine, it's complete BS, if anything SM can make your knee problem worst.

For now you should keep working on your flexibility and decrease the weight, knee wraps will only disguise the problem and will not help with strengthening that area.
 
I watched the GMing out of the hole video and yeah he says alot of stretching, wide stance squats and goblet or front squats. Im not tight I dont think, I dont find it hard getting ATG and I already do frotn squats every so often...

My instructor change my exercise program once every three weeks and last week he included squats and so I thought how will this help to my six pack abs priority? But I did it nevertheless(you gotta trust the instructors) and I realized something amazing. When i did the squat I could feel my upper body, hips, and leg's stress being absorbed by my stomach and I knew this was the trick to finally washing the fats away for a defined flat stomach. Thanks for this amazing videos,. sure will do them right away!

Everybody wants to get six pack abs, but only the most motivated, strong-willed, and updated to the latest breakthrough succeeds.

your upper back is rounding over. watch how your elbows come up when you are coming out of the hole. you need to get your chest and head up, push your chest out hard and stay upright. keep your elbows down, you should be driving them down not letting them drift back and up. this should help you stop rounding over. everything else i can see looks good.

Is this better dave?

YouTube - Oly Squats 198 x 5 @ 15yo
 
yes looks a bit better, good set. you are young and should still be very flexible. i want you to work on getting your hands in as close to your shoulders as you possibly can. work on it over the course of a month or so, not right away. next squat workout move them in one or two finger widths, then next workout a bit more and so on. i want your thumbs to be nearly touching your shoulders when you have the bar on your back. this will keep you super tight, your chest out, and your elbows down, in turn stopping any upper back rounding you are having. if your shoulder is still to messed up to do this without alot of pain then dont try it, it will put alot of pressure on them. work on it ok, it will help your squat tremendously

Thanks dave. Yeah I can get them much closer than that already, I just use that width grip cause its comfortable. On monday when I do 204 x 3 Ill put my hands in close and show you.

Question - I have always squatted high bar, putting it low bar is kinda uncomfortable for me, is this bad or shall I keep the high bar?

well, oly squats are traditionally done high-bar. i would have mentioned this but i assumed your goal was to get better at high-bar oly squats. i personally would move the bar down quite a bit and get used to it, it should rest right on you rear delts. this will most definitely make a big difference and is one of the biggest reasons you are rounding over.

I just swapped to oly squats because my PL style squats had stalled and I had been doing them for 6 months or so. I tryed the low bar on friday and it was very uncomfortable, but Ill try it again on monday. Will going low bar make me any stronger?
 
Eventually it can based on point a to point b for a powerlifter. the lower bar ride keeps the bar in teh center of gravity in regards to the hip where you generate efficient leverage. It can also damage your rotator cuffs too so be warmed up in your shoulders as well.
 
Squatting: depth, bar placement and stance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are getting bored with the standard back squat and want some variety you can change up some things.
Depth
Bar Placement
Stance
Your depth doesn't have to be DEEEEP all the time. For some it just isn't possible. Work always within the ROM that is comfortable for you. But using overloads or partials can really increase you confidence and overall power in time. Doing super deep reps and coming up half way keeps so much tension on the quads you will look like Platz's little brother or sister. Obviously there is ever range in between. Using 3-4 different depths obviously creates 3-4 different squat movements.

Bar placement can be high bar, bar of traps or on the rear delts like a powerlifter. And ever in the front for front squats. These different placement require you to respect them as you get the feel for them. Conventionally a power stance using the low bar placement keeps the bar in the center of gravity with your hips to lift MORE which is ideal for powerlifter. IT can also cause micro damage to your shoulders as well. High bar squats force you to maintain a very upright position which is great for the quads and glutes. This would be more for a bodybuilder or Olympic style lifter. The mid range tends to be more for the norm. It is usually when people use a pad on the bar because placing at the base of the traps can dig into the back.

Foot placement is just how narrow or wide you stand. I don't really think there is a specific benefit with any stance but I do think the variety makes for more complete leg development.

Take these three concepts to make squatting fresh and develop a more well rounded leg training scheme.
 
I know I am late coming in...but how do yall prevent your knees from hurting b4, during and after squats.
Ive been off legs for the last month and rehabbing my knees.
Any advice?

I think the critical part of the lift in which most knee pain and injury happens is when reversing from the negative to the positive phase of the exercise... specially those times when doing squats to paralel. For that reason i only do box squats or full atg squats because i eiher have a box or my calves muscles to fully stop my movement and reverse it from there.

I would say use some heat before training. Need2 has Skeletal Balm that is working on my elbow bursitis. Cardio, light leg extensions....add some neoprene sleeves. APT sells those. There is a link in my sig. Try moving your stance around.

Personally I dont like box squats. I worry about spinal compression. It really is an advanced technique that is suited for powerlifting primarily. You are obviously advanced but still be careful.
 
I have a powerlifting belt. Inzer, 13mm thick, lever belt. I wear it when squatting and the support is excellent. Problem is, it digs in around my hips and causes bruises and discoloration. Looks pretty cool, but probably not something I want to have happen all the time. Any suggestions? 'Wear it higher' is the obvious one. I just like it lower and feel it gives better support that way.

Where do you guys wear your belts?

How long have you had the belt?

I have an EliteFTS Custom 10mm that did the same thing when I first got it. It's broke in now and it only bruises me if I lose or gain a lot of weight.

Hey, not sure if its cool for me to post this here and maybe get my form critiqued, but this is back about a week ago.

Since this video, i have learned a shit load, and i believe my form is getting better. I will have another video up sometime soon. But critique this.

Current problem - when i squat, i sometimes get a pain just underneath my knee, and underneath my calf muscle. If i touch it, it feels like its on fire. It gets really sore and annoying, only happens when i squat though. About 20minutes after im done squatting it goes away. Any idea on why?

Squats -


Thats the video from February 1st, 2010.
 
i know you're squatting again tomorrow so i wanted to just mention thiis;

stick your ass out before the beginning of each rep and sit back into your squat.
keep in mind your ass should move backwards before your knees start descending ^^^
 
woww so today i got in a heated debate with a football player at my school... He comes up to me and the conversation went like this....
FB PLayer: I hear you workout with tommy in weightlifting he says you squat weird

Me: No he always says he doesnt like to go all the way down on his squats cuz theyre too hard

FB Player: You do bucket squats?! those are really bad for your knees you shouldnt go that far down

In my head I tried telling my self not to argue butt

Me: Nooo ACTUALLY if you stop around 90 degrees its actually worse for your knees versus going ATG

FB player: Coach says bucket squats are bad you shouldnt do them

Me: No you see I do squats the way they were meant to be performed ATG, you sir do another form of squats called Pussy Squats!

Then he goes on to sound even more ridiculous

FB Player: Its physically impossible to have so much weight on your back and go all the way down you will just fall over

Me: thats why little old me reps and goes all the way down with almost 300lbs, right?

FB Player: whatever man i know im right


I was really ticked off lol but i thought it was kinda funny afterwards
 
im going to send this to my buddy he back when he was in highschool and we both played football his coach told him to never do squats cuz to many people blow out there knees and now since where older and we still go to the gym he never wants to do squats however me on the other hand its my BEST workout it seems like i can get a new max ever week out two last week when we was doing are sets he had to set out while i went 225 plus pounds over his max squat
 
Hello everyone
Some day I worked the low bar squat, and 2 days after I have pain when I carry the burden of work or doing presses, as if we cancel the bicep arm (humerus), also a pain in the forearm and shoulders top?
its tendonitis?
What to do?

thanx
 
Ok I admit I suck at squatting but I am trying real hard to improve it. I will be squatting 2x a week. After watching the squat rx videos I tried to stay with perfect form and not round my back at all, stay arched and keep my knees out and go as low as possible. Prior to this I was able to get 185 10-12 times, now today I didn't go higher than 155! Hard when I'm already so weak to step back even further, and man my ass is so sore! I have horribly weak glutes and atrocious flexibilty in my hips and groin. Besides stretching and squatting, are there any other exercises I should add, I was eyeing the leg press machine today, but the squats kick my ass, I did 5 sets of 10 and did 2 sets of reverse lunges, I feel like I'm kinda shorting myself but my lower half is pretty much toast. Any accessory exercises maybe for glutes/groin I should add or is squats enough. I kinda figure if I got anything left I should just do more sets of squats.
 
you probably feel that way cause you never squat with perfect form before so your muscles never want to that specific position with this amount of weight but working with good form will take up much fester then you think
 
I have an ankle injury. It's not very serious, I can walk / run at a slow pace, just some minor nerve damage / general weakness. Would this make squatting or dead lifting dangerous for me? I imagine not (and obv. will start w/ bar and move up slowly) but want to be sure.
 
Has anyone trained like this for legs with good resuslts: 1st week ME squat +assist.,2nd squats for 3-4 straight sets with more reps ,>10 ,and so on.
 
Fantastic post. A major point I direct clients to focus on also is the pronation of the foot. Appropriate supination allows for better glute med activity

Gonna take a while to get through these - thanks!

can you explain the effect of changing the foot position, the angle of the feet, the stance width etc?

also, when i go down i cant really find the "hole" unless i round my back is this normal or am i doing something wrong?

when i go up am i suppose to tense my whole body or just work certain bits? im suppose to try and pull my head up followed by my ass right?

sorry if im asking questions answered in the videos, i would watch them again but adhd is hard to overcome easily
 
I've watched all the squat videos above and have had great improvements on my squat the last two months. Still through the period I've always felt my lower back muscles is the weakest link and not my legs.
I do close to 5x5 after warmout but feel the legs are not getting max becsuse of my lower back. Is this normal or anything that spring to mind that is off in mu tequnique?
 
Great info, Squatting can be a bit technical and you must not have any flexibility issues in the lower body especially the hips. I agree, Squats are the king of all exercises
 
I have a neck herniation issue that's gone on a while, and I had to stop squats for a bit. I'm back to them now, and one of the best pieces of advice I've learned to help with work arounds with such injuries,is keep the bar really low. A lot of people, women especially, I see at the gym...using the neck cushion or whatever that is that wraps around the bar...that is the worst thing you can use. (I think) It moves around sometimes unexpectedly, and the bar jostles on your neck. Eek! Not good, very scary.

So, my advice if you're suffering from any chronic neck injuries...and you don't want to aggravate them...is to keep the bar low.

This is a great thread.

Now, if only I could learn how to do front squats. They're so awkward for me. lol :=} The cross over arm method, anyways.

Could you alternate the deadlifts with something that more closely emulates the squat, like trap-bar deadlifts, hack squats, or hip belt squats?
