You could do high bar with lifting straps wrapped around the bar and held in front mimicking the placement of the hands during and SSB skwat if you're doing it to save your shoulders
My hips certainly rise faster than the rest of my body. I don't have access to a belt squat. What could I do instead? Could I hold a really heavy dumbbell between my legs and do a squat with my feet elevated on blocks?
On the back raises, souldn't spine flexion/extension (especially lumbar) better complement most programs? Given there will be deadlifts and other stuff hitting the glutes and hams aplenty.
You should really watch Candito's video on his belt squat attachment for his squat rack. Its plate loaded, requires no extra space and is cost effective and attachs onto your squat rack you should look into it.
Powerlifting videos need to come with a disclaimer that it is for the sport not for joe bloggs. A wide stance is allowing for hams/glutes to assist, not long a quad dominant squat which most people are after. This really confused me for years and was doing it all wrong.
Do you think a safety squat bar could be used by someone missing one of their foremans? I've been using this machine that mimics a front squat called the magnum perfect squat over a month, but I'd rather switch to a free weight squat if possible. I have a few inches of bone that I can move around off the elbow on the arm with the missing foreman.

@@Jk-zv6tz huh? I’d consider myself an intermediate trainee and I still believe squatting more for beginners and most of intermediates is the best way to improve your squat, once you become an elite lifter of course that may not be the case
I keep getting stuck in the hole. Due to long femurs I have to low bar and I’ve watched so many videos on elbow pain ( my back is developed, I can do 5 points of contact, prone swimmers etc) but no matter what I do I end up using shoulder extension with weight on my wrist. Wish I could squat like the quad father but it’s just not happening ( even tho I do high bar with squat shoes occasionally)
@@fourtii8707don't get me wrong, when someone already squatting 2x-7x times with 20+ Sets per week. "Squatting more" or increasing volume wont be the key to that. What i wanted to say is, the best way to improve your Squat is to do so!
The reason why Americans can’t squat is Lifestyle. Americans love their cars. Americans have almost no internal rotation. Same thing with day jobs. The internal rotator stretches you see on YT are garbage. Fixing your rotators vs ligament or flesh stretches are lmao 2 different things. The 90 90 is the only effective stretch but it’s terrible as most won’t even be able to get in it.
Hip internal rotation got better for me by getting my ribs down better when I do leg workouts and also simply making the glute medius stronger. I tried stretching and it did nothing.
I do a ton of Bulgarian split squats and totally agree about the carryover. But I also agree with the criticism of unilateral movement that they’re extremely inefficient from an energy standpoint. It feels like twice as many hard sets.
The major benefit of the belt squat is taking the back out of the movement. It allows you to train the movement indirectly without taxing the lower back. The split squats are a great movement for improving leg, glutes and back. But it can be a bit taxing when combined with other accessories and assistance movement. I'm currently using them in my hypertrophy phase along with tempo squats.
@@flabio7074 yea def man,they are real hard and can be taxing alot, btw how do u do them with 2 dumbbells or,maybe barbell too,i switched from 2 dumbbells to having one doing it now same way chad wesley showed in one vid w 1 db inside leg
3:15 Back Raises - targets hamstrings, glutes, low back.
thank you for this video, Chad!!! great stuff! the back extension REALLY helps! cheers from Austin, TX!!
Glad it helped!
Best Exercises to improve your squat: Squat.
Wanted to write this exact comment xd
Lmfaooooo
That’s the one exercise I don’t wanna do tho
@@BasedAsher then why are you even here?
If that fails , wide stance squats
I respect a man who looks like Bert Kreisher but still trains that hard
He is The Machine
Flywheel squats with a harness is good.
You have to learn to use the hips/glutes as the main driver. This hold true for every close chain exercise!
Thank-You!
nice one !
Holyshit, box skwats in a JTS video?!?!?!
I don't have access to SSB. What's the alternative for ssb ? Been your subscriber for the last 5 years 😀
Front Squat
Titan has a relatively inexpensive SSB that is actually really good. Half the price of rogue or FTS. I love mine.

@@flabio7074 I can attest to this. Titan has a great SSB. Use mine almost every block and I absolutely love it.
Would leg press be a good replacement if you don’t have a belt squat?
Yes
Yea definitely
I have a love-hate relationship with pauses.
What about the Front Squat?

front squats for general development (i think they’re extremely underrated) and platz squats for more specific development
🙏🏼

Now I just need a bigger garage for a belt squat and ghd.
Look at some of the DIY ones on here - cheap to make and hang off the side of a rack.
You should really watch Candito's video on his belt squat attachment for his squat rack. Its plate loaded, requires no extra space and is cost effective and attachs onto your squat rack you should look into it.
Oh and check the vid by The Strength Classroom too - no DIY needed, just some space at the side of your rack.
@@PaulSteere The strength classroom one is great, I use it all the time.
Improve your squat 101: squat, squat, squat, squat, back extensions...

What do you suggest as a replacement for belt squats? My gym doesnt really have anything like that machine.
Front squat (with heels elevated), split squats, step ups.
Sir is thier any alternative for belt squat
Maybe something along the lines of a goblet squat
Do you think a safety squat bar could be used by someone missing one of their foremans?

People in the comment section: "Best way to increase your squat is squat more"
Tell me you're a novice without actually telling me you're a novice.
It's true. A novice doesn't need a bunch of variation.
Yes, squatting is probably the worst thing you could do to increase your squat.
@@bmstyleeExactly. Only a novice thinks that doing a squat more makes your squat go up.
Eventually you just can't do that anymore. They will see.
@@Jk-zv6tz huh? I’d consider myself an intermediate trainee and I still believe squatting more for beginners and most of intermediates is the best way to improve your squat, once you become an elite lifter of course that may not be the case
I love you videos, but I think this is all wrong. I have been assured that the top 5 ways to improve your squat are all GOMAD.
The first four are indeed GOMAD; or about four liters of milk a day. The fifth is a fifth liter of milk a day.

How to Improve your Squat? Squat more :)
Not really, Mr. internet expert
@@fourtii8707 for a novice it is.

@@zorantodorovic7033 you're right! I only have one squat/leg day per week, but it lasts 3 hours
@@fourtii8707 yes really Mr. 315lb squat squatmaster.
Nothing like 10RM, 8RM, 6RM, 5RM to blow up your squat

right but who the fuck wants to do pause squats

Belt squats instead of Bulgarian split squats 🤣, Bulgarians have more benefits and will improve ur squat more than any exercise here!
