    THE BEST TIP OF ALL TIME = SQUEEZE YOUR GLUTES TO FIND YOUR NATURAL TOE POINTING DIRECTION. THANK YOU. OMG. SUBSCRIBED.

      it's just just hip going into external rotation and the rest of the leg and the feet connected to it following along, it doesn't mean that position is better for you, could be with toes more out if your femurs are really long for example, that depends on your own biomechanics, not your butt squeeze. The Squeeze is good tho, mainly for preventing lumbar hyperextension during hip flexion.

      I assist myself down into the hole and move my knees and feet around until I am comfortable then stand up on my own. I do that a few times then do bodyweight squats with that same placement. Squeezing my glutes helps cue in the lower part of my posterior chain for stability.

    Flexing your butt to set your feet is a really good tip man, thanks

    • @waynebarnes4756
      @waynebarnes4756 5 лет назад +5

      Flexing your but does not move your feet,,where do you guys come up with this shit,,talking about wasting energy from getting your self ready to do a set uses to much energy, wow,,that statement reminds me of people that want someone to give them a hand with dumbells,,oh can you hand me that one,,really,,dont be lazy,,

    • @Kaddywompous
      @Kaddywompous 5 лет назад +37

      Wayne Barnes Everyone’s femur connects to the hip socket at different angles. Perhaps you’re one of the few for whom tensing your butt does not move your feet, but for many (me for instance) it does. Yes, that is absolutely sterling advice for how to get your feet into the most natural squatting position for your anatomy.

    • @joaomiguel1988
      @joaomiguel1988 5 лет назад +2

      @@Kaddywompous I agree with you, i always do this almost instinctively, as i squeeze my glute, my foot rotates about 30 degrees making the right position to efficiently squat.

    • @monkeyxpwner
      @monkeyxpwner 4 года назад

      Wayne Barnes it does actually. If you externally rotate your hips you activate your abductors which will move your feet if they are relaxed.

    The thing about low bar is that you don't want to grab in like a you're doing a bench press. With low bar if you use double overhand technique with your thumb above/on top of the bar and pull the bar into your traps it reduces wrist strain almost completely. Depends on your anatomy of course but double overhave is usually better for reducing wrist impingement.

    Very informative video bro! Coming from a squat guy, you nailed it. I'll have my son watch this, he's 13 and started lifting with me. I have a hard time with trying to teach him proper squat mechanics. I guess its cuz I can't see from a 3rd person perspective. This will help tremendously. Thanks for the vid.
