Impressed!! A real person who actually understands form, pelvic tilt, gives a reason why we don't want the bad form that we may have, speaks slowly and showing each movement. I've recently moved from my amazing trainer who taught me all these techniques. So glad to find your videos for new exercises to know what the form should be!
Agreed and for me it’s more comfortable overall.. before that I was doing goblet squats which were better for me than the regular squat but sumo is my favorite now.. I do high reps each set(20+ reps) and I love the burn and the pump I get from doing them
i watched this my freshman year (last year) after getting a squat max of 315. since then i tried the sumo squat as practice and yesterday i got a new max of 405
I’ve been doing this variation of squats and along with deadlifts my legs have grown! Sumo squats are now my favorite squat variation but I do it with heavy dumbbells
I did this a few days ago at my gym, and a pt that works there told me that I was squatting wrong because my stance was wide, I explained to him I'm squatting in such a wide stance as I'm trying to target my glutes.
It is mentioned in the video that the sumo squat should be done more upright (high bar)in order to emphasize glute recruitment, but doesnt a more upright position create a shorter moment arm from the hip axis and a longer moment arm from the knee axis and, as a result, shifts some of the required force production back onto the quads?
Maybe I'm just being OCD.. but "glute mead" sounds like a game of thrones beverage. Especially when you take the time to say minimus and maximus, but not medius. Love the channel.
Mind Pump TV check out the MoveU page on insta. They use girls to teach the exercises to, which shows the viewer what to do as well. Its a good format that will solve the problem of all these people complaining about clickbaiting
Is the stick test still applicable with a regular seep squat? I notice when my butt gets down to the ground I lose contact with the stick at the bottom by my tailbone.
You're activating the vagus nerve during the brace, this controls a lot of different parts from diaphragm to the brain. An excited Vagus will affect the blood pressure and can cause you to pass out.
For me my tail bone tucks under excessively when I squat… I mean not like a little butt wink but fully tucks in & under, before I even hit parallel. This happens with back squat & bodyweight squats. I also struggle to keep extension in my upper spine. I’ve been working on mobility using the combat stretch & 90/90 but noticed that if I perform a goblet squat or hold a weight out in front of me, I see less butt wink (not complete difference but enough to notice the difference). So I wondered whether this is something to do with my mobility or maybe it’s more of an imbalance for me from anterior to posterior chain 🤷🏻♂️ If anyone has any advice I would be more than happy to receive it. Last thing! When deadlifting, I have pretty good mobility, I can keep my spine in a neutral position even with heavy weights, but like I said with squats, even just bodyweight I tend to struggle at keeping my spine neutral.
this happened to me too, and the last time i thought it was a hip mobility issue. it turns out, i had tight ankles and it wasn't allowing me to position my hips properly, as demonstrated by this video. ruclips.net/video/U3HlEF_E9fo/видео.html&feature=share8 anyways i fixed it now by following the mobility exercises in the vid. i hope this helps : )
Why is he talking about adduction, and glute medius its funtion is is abduction not adduction. I was under the impression it had more an effect on your adductors on the inside of your leg, i certainly feel more activation on the inside of my leg vs my glute medius.
"How I know if I am this exercises right or wrong?" Did ya outsource your captioning guys? :-) Nice vid. I previously thought sumo squats were done with one dumbbell held between your legs as you squat. This is a nice variation to try.
Your videos are always awesome.please help me my right bicep is incomplete.I don't feel my short head of right bicep even if I'm in a flexed shoulder position while I can feel it in left bicep.please give me some advice
You think you have knowledge about human anatomy, well think again. We are vertebrae which means our back is designed to fully flex.The stick trick merely serves other purposes when teaching squats. All back problems are multi-factoral and really have nothing to with the gym. The deadlift is always conducted with a flexed spine not in lordosis. But yeah, let's tie a stick around the back and let sleep all day long to make sure nothing happens with our back and lose a ton of strength in the process with a weakened back. Bravo Mister professor!
Also heard that. The hip should stay in neutral position with the spine. Butt wink is a sign of not enough hamstring mobility. What are your thoughts on this, Adam Schafer ?
that is correct. you should look up hip mobility exercises if you wanna get rid of your buttwink. because in modern day and age, we almost never squat down on our feet. we just sit down on chair or toilet. hence the awful hip mobility.
Thanks Adam appreciate love you guys been listening to mindpump almost a year, seen the best results since listening to you guys! Thank you for giving my gym and health experience so much value! You guys are awesome keep up the great work!
Don't exhale at the bottom of the squat, coming up is the hardest bit so you want to stay tight to have maximum stability which will allow you to lift more weight.
Exactly. That was a weird claim. Exhaling as you approach the top of your squat is fine, but I've never heard a trainer tell you to exhale at the bottom of the squat. It seems pretty easy to tell the difference in your bracing and strength if you try both methods.
Great video. As a guy of tall slim build I actually much prefer this sumo version to the narrower stance, followed by RDL and Bulgarians on leg days. PS check out his Bulgarian Split Squat video best guide on the web.
I've watched my fair share of these kinda videos of different channels, but you explain things really well here. One of my PTs already told me a wider stance in leg press helps you to activate those upper back thighs and glutes, but I was pretty oblivious of the other stuff you taught here. Big thanks!
I've always been confused about how to perform the sumo squat and I finally found a channel that covers it well. Thank you for this video! It was greatly helpful!
mifster this actually really common . Refer to our 90/90 hip mobility video. If you still need more help after that we have a program called “prime pro” that is designed for correctional work and addresses every major joint in the body .
I'm at home right now and since i don't have a barbell here the results may differ with one, but i don't feel my glutes at all when doing this. I only feel my adductors, and a bit of my knees, but not my glutes... so i'll try this at a gym and hopefully i'll feel my glutes with a barbell on my back.

Glad the video was up to your standards!
that means we are fake?😂
Woah. A fitness professional that doesn't scream into the microphone. Is this the channel I've been looking for?
Hahahahaha... for realz
Sumo squat is the only way i know how to squat without getting knee pain
same but i don't care because my quads are big and sumo squat hits hams and glutes alot more.
Me too, but it’s because I dance so I have a flexible hip/pelvic area. If I try to do conventional, I cannot accomplish any depth.
@@greattribulation3759 I can also not reach any depth, I think due to this: ruclips.net/video/Av3LO2GwpAk/видео.html It made a lot of sense to me
Agreed and for me it’s more comfortable overall.. before that I was doing goblet squats which were better for me than the regular squat but sumo is my favorite now.. I do high reps each set(20+ reps) and I love the burn and the pump I get from doing them
Try wearing knee wraps. And readjust your stance in the presence of a trainer.
i watched this my freshman year (last year) after getting a squat max of 315. since then i tried the sumo squat as practice and yesterday i got a new max of 405
0.44 "To help feel it in your butt". I haven't been 10 for about 30 years now, but I still giggled
I always squat wide. When my knees are narrow it hurts my knees.
If my trainer looked like you, I wouldn’t have a problem getting myself to the gym everyday...
Great video, thanks!!
down bad
@@dum9199 😂
Take a shower, Iris
I’ve been doing this variation of squats and along with deadlifts my legs have grown! Sumo squats are now my favorite squat variation but I do it with heavy dumbbells
Grown a lot?
@@oscarperez5539 yep I’ve made really good progress with sumo squats and I do high reps and moderate to heavy weight
@@KnuckleHead1983 nice man, have you done trap bar pulsating sumo squats?
“Squeeze the abs, almost like your gonna fart”. No, I’m going to fart for real doing this😂
I did this a few days ago at my gym, and a pt that works there told me that I was squatting wrong because my stance was wide, I explained to him I'm squatting in such a wide stance as I'm trying to target my glutes.
personal trainer? or physical therapist? so many know-it-alls at the gym...

This was phenomenal
You need to get these screenshot chicks to do the squats.
hardcore click bait
Candle Ankle lol. Agreed if they can teach it as well
They are basebody babes. They can. The girls husband ins Sebastian Oreb also knows as Australian Strength Coach......lol

I feel like doing sumo squats makes it easier for me to get depth on the squat and keep my back straight. I like it
Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the chill explanation.
i love how you explain everything in detail this is so helpful thank you
Is the stick test still applicable with a regular seep squat? I notice when my butt gets down to the ground I lose contact with the stick at the bottom by my tailbone.
Adam you're the best! 👏🏼
Came bc of the clickbait, stayed bc of content
Big booty, wide hips, skinny waist - A sumo deadlift with your hands under the kettlebell or vertical sandbag, like picking up a stone off the ground.
Solid video. Best on the squat I have seen.
Love your videos! Very helpful and detailed 👍
You got the best shoe game out of the three. Great vid tho bro
I always feel like I'm gonna faint when I brace during a squat
You're activating the vagus nerve during the brace, this controls a lot of different parts from diaphragm to the brain. An excited Vagus will affect the blood pressure and can cause you to pass out.
@@dvsmike damn
Great tutorial ! Thank you!
Can i do this with a trapbar?
No
Thanks...very helpful. I still have a problem with squats.
Thank you!!!
You should do these videos in spanish too
chikita bonita this is something we have discussed
what makes yall bend down so low in the squat?
Great video
These make my abductors sore should I not do them?
If I typically low-bar should i low bar sumo squat?
2:30
“Help feel it in the butt” an unfortunate choice of words

Do you also activate the vastus lateralis more in sumo squat?
I must be doing it wrong. I only feel the borne on my front thighs
that thumbnail though...
the more upright iam gonna be the more glutes iam gonna train? lol its the opposite lowbar squats train the glutes more while bending over
"How I know if I am this exercises right or wrong?" Did ya outsource your captioning guys? :-)
Nice vid. I previously thought sumo squats were done with one dumbbell held between your legs as you squat. This is a nice variation to try.
You're describing a goblet squat. Another good variation
Sick shiet
i got jebaited
Your videos are always awesome.please help me my right bicep is incomplete.I don't feel my short head of right bicep even if I'm in a flexed shoulder position while I can feel it in left bicep.please give me some advice
You're not going to be able to "Feel" the inner vs outer head, just do the curls and be done.
Squeezing at the top? Why then everybody say that it is not neccessary????
Good video but pretty sure exhaling at the bottom of the squat is really not recommended by anyone.
Nice - I farted

lmfao massive butt wink. gg hip flexors
how are you gonna catfish us :,)
What if the person has femoral anteversion?
For one exercise 10 minutes video
Did you get some fake weights yet?
Nice video and fabulous click bait pic
clickbait
do you even fart
Adam with the 2 step 🕺🏻🤣. For those complaining about the clickbait, don’t hate the playa, hate the game 😎
Now I'm butthurt!!
I was told you should never squat lower than when your butt wink appears - you squat further than your butt wink. What are your thoughts on this?
it puts pressure on knees, dats wat i knew

I will do sumo squat for butt. I don t want work my quads

Damn. Came for the exercise help, stayed for the hottie.
My hips just will not let me do these. I’ve been doing mobility exercises for 5 months. 34 yrs old I hope my hips open
Is there any difference between a "sumo squat" and a "sumo dead lift"?
Ok, you are going really low with your hips but your back is getting out of fisiological position...
I've always been confused about how to perform the sumo squat and I finally found a channel that covers it well.
Thank you for this video! It was greatly helpful!
Is sumo squat & wide squat the same
Super high quality in this video + so much info thanks man!! 💚🔥
Is this breathing not dangerous?
This exercise also better hits the abductor muscles in the inner thigh
Always loved your videos guys! It helped me as a beginner! Always refering to your videos before hitting the gym 💪🏼
Very logical reasoning 👍
your a good teacher
watching this to proof that old man is wrong
good video but too small calves
tried different variations of wide stance twice, had to rest over a week each time due to hip pain. Guess I stick to narrow
mifster this actually really common . Refer to our 90/90 hip mobility video. If you still need more help after that we have a program called “prime pro” that is designed for correctional work and addresses every major joint in the body .
Stick with what works for you.
People tell me Sumo squats is poor squat form at the gym 😂
Click bait disliked
I'm at home right now and since i don't have a barbell here the results may differ with one, but i don't feel my glutes at all when doing this. I only feel my adductors, and a bit of my knees, but not my glutes... so i'll try this at a gym and hopefully i'll feel my glutes with a barbell on my back.
lol clickbait
Seriously? Butt wink? When you're demonstrating technique?
Amazing explanaition. Very professional. Love it!!!😍
Big booty, wide hips, skinny waist - A sumo deadlift with your hands under the kettlebell or vertical sandbag, like picking up a stone off the ground.
The squat you're doing the most should be based on your anatomy.
whats the difference between jefferson and sumo squat
I love this dude! He is the freaking best!!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻amazing
This was a ñice lesson Coach
Really good video
It helped me thanks
Thanks for explaining it 🙂

Not a clickbait at all. It’s the same person!
