As someone who did coached SS workouts for a couple of years, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Friendly, safe environment with like minded people. Got super strong and kept with it in my home gym. I didn’t know this guy but all Starting Strength coaches are all trained the same and actually have to pass a very rigorous practical. If you think you’re too old to lift, think again. I witnessed many many men and women in their fifties, sixties, and seventies get strong and kick butt.

I see ALOT of FAT people in this video…is this a NEBRASKA thing? I’d suggest putting down two things…a fork, and the heavy weights. ALOT more cardio and/or circuit….because the abdominal adipose don’t lie!

Great, accessible video! I would suggest, however, that people need to keep their eyes up when squatting. The body follows the gaze, so a person will fold down when eyes are focused down.

I’ve done high and low bar squats. Got more strength from high bar so I don’t get your point. Not everyone responds the same way

It’s really nice and inspiring to see regular folks of various ages and abilities doing the work. I watch many of these types of vids, and (the AI 🤖 ones especially) will show young, fit people doing the exercises.

Whoa... That worked.😂 thanks

Most of these folks are doing good morning back squats. Hard on the back and much less quadriceps involvement.

Lost me at the 1st point. wtf is wrong w/ a high-bar squat

Very helpful, thank you!

The real world examples helped. Sitting and standing, picking up a laundry basket, etc. I can visualize those to understand the movements. Thanks.

At soon to be 63, I love seeing older people lifting weights. Stay strong folks.

Thank you for helping ordinary people train, and featuring them in your video. Years ago, when I became eligible, I switched from a chain gym (full or bros & babes) to my local Senior Center. The level of camaraderie, support, and determination to be a better human has inspiring.

The advice is appreciated. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

Great, quick video! But Chuck Taylors aren't squishy if you remove the insole. You only need squat shoes if you lack the ankle mobility to squat properly. And the lowbar squat doesnt demand much ankle mobility...

Brike the chase 💪💪

I don't know whether I should cry or laugh at this. You're making weightlifters use low bar for their squats? What. Sidenote: What's the best Sinclair score one of your weightlifters have hit? Male or female.

High-bar squats for the win!

Addendum: I haven't seen it very often. Maybe twice in the last five years, but don't squat in socks. That's a Darwin award right there. Lifting shoes will help a bit with butt wink as well.

When you squat, hold your breath like you're going underwater, and you get to breathe again at the top. Somebody once told me, that.

Sorry, I switched to high bar and I'm never going back.

Pause squats are brutal.

High bar squat = Olympic squat. Low bar squat = good morning squat.

Real solid video

As Johnny Candito will attest, people who high bar squat are morally superior.

Thank you Phil! At the gym today, I’ll work on 3 mistakes that you covered here. Merry Christmas to you and everyone at your gym! Tom (Phoenix, AZ)

Always enjoy seeing someone squatting heavy with the weight way up and resting right on the cervical vertebrae.

These never get old. Thank you

Why does my bar drift forward when I begin the pull?

I'm 67 and just started resistance training again after four years of just not caring about it. When I was 61 a navy doctor pretty much ripped me a new one for doing resistance training. I kept it up for awhile, but just couldn't eat enough to keep up with my workouts, Plus I was working12 hour night shifts. I'm retired now, so as I said I've restarted my strength journey. I just found your videos the other day and will be watching more of them. I do want to incorporate some strong man stuff as well as some steel mace into my workouts, but for now it's mainly barbell dumb bell and calisthenics.

I believe that explaining the difference between high-bar and low-bar back squats would be more helpful for critics. In my experience, most people are unaware of them

Always great content from you. Simple, straightforward. Thank you.

Great content!

You forgot about bro lifting. It is just how much you bench and how much can you curl 😎

This helped me so much, thank u

Maybe I’m a gear nut, but I love and swear by the Lockjaw Pro, and I just now bought a pair of Rouge Competition Collars. Maybe just for the novelty when I go for PR attempts, but I can understand in a commercial gym setting they gonna get trashed. Local meets I’ve been to they never seem to use the comp collars, not even at the state meet. Weird, out of the four gyms I’ve been to, only one actually uses the comp collars. I loved that DIY platform and jerk block videos btw. Thanks for sharing.

great video! All this diy stuff is saving me money 👍

Why do I feel sore almost painful on my inner thighs? Actually really bad….ugh

i just find it a bit easier to get reps in when i look more up

squat's at start of video are a real back killer!!!!!

Awesome diy just made one!

great video!

Jesus. Half this video is useless ranting. Just give us the information

I've kept a bunch of plates on a cheap bar for about a year and it never bent. Tbh that one is kinda silly.

1:10 🤣😂🤣 That is not how steel works!

Squat form is horrible

Does this guy even lift?

1. Flex for your wife while you’re still pumped up. 2. Eat a doughnut because you’ve earned it! 3. Fall asleep on the couch because you’re old and worn out. 4. Nothing else because you’re already asleep.

Thanks! - you’ve finally ‘cleaned’ all that confusion I had around those lifts and I could never remember which one’s which!

Nice and clear explanations, thanks!
