Thanks Coach Phil! I’m 64, and got back in the gym 2 and 1/2 years ago. I’m progressing from hack squats, to Smith Machine, to “real squats” recently. This video is very helpful! I hope you get to 10k subs and beyond real soon! Tom in Phoenix 🥵
You’re welcome Tom, and that’s great that you’re back in the gym and back at it (and have been for a couple years)! I’m glad this video was useful for you, and thanks for the kind words as well!
Chalk makes a massive difference in maintaining hand position. Even on highly knurled bars, my hands will begin to move out during a set without chalk.
Your hips are 3 inches apart. Your feet should be 3 inches apart or you are putting all that pressure on your back and turning your feet out closes and compresses the back. What you are doing WILL break you down over time. Check out woata vs goata to learn how the body correctly moves before adding load. Your body is a structure, now imagine if the beams of your house where angled like your feet to hip ratio It would collapse and fall apart, as you will too.

This is really great coaching; simple, succinct, and always a touch of humor. Looking forward to Saturday's squat session.💪
Thanks for the kind words, and have a great squat session!

HICK👍🏽👍🏽the best bracing cue!
Glad you like it, and it is indeed a solid cue!
Closed that tab the moment he said "to point your chest down at the floor"
You closed the tab then reopened it just to make this comment? Weird.
@@supersithmonkey No, I first made sure to leave the comment in hope of less people getting hurt.
