I used the back cue you mentioned, and it was great. A few videos ago you phrased it as "try to throw the bar off you as you stand up." And for the first time I felt explosive on the ascent. Also added 50 pounds to my e1rm. Probably could have done more too but hinestly, I just got scared. Thanks!
My daughter and me both use the AI app and love it, It truly adapts to you if your honest with the questions and your RPE 💪🏻💪🏻 amazing video and I fall into these squat issues and this will help loads 👍🏻 my glutes usually suffer with really heavy squats 👎🏻 thanks 💪🏻 #trainingoverforty #nevertooold
I wish I could understand that bracing technique since I'm having issues with that after some lower back problems. But breathing into my obliques does not compute in my brain, I don't know how to consciously do anything with my obliques when I'm in that position.
i started doing this subcon when i practiced 90/90 breathing for some time - initially i was "breathing into my abs" so when i took a deep breath (roughly 90% of my max capacity) while braced, most of that air stretched out my front (arching my lower back slightly)... then i focused on tightening the front more and thus letting the air fill the sides and back of my core - "breathing into the obliques"... One more thing worth to mention as is it only obvious/automatic for some people - tighten the bottom of your sodacan as well ;)
Notably I can get my fingers on the smooth but it causes me severe internal elbow pain. I've moved my grip wider and I don't have internal elbow pain. Is there some kind of fix for this?
I'm not CWS or Missinda, but while you're warming up with an empty bar, practice putting yourself into a closer grip where you feel discomfort but not pain. Do this a few times but return to your comfortable grip for your working sets. Then keep practicing this during your empty bar warmups, and as time goes on try to close your grip gap even more. You should adjust and eventually be able to comfortably get into optimal position. But it does take time, so be patient.
I've had a bunch of surgeries on my elbow and I also get some pain when I grip as close as possible with low bar. A couple tips: 1) Yes, just move your hands a little wider. The idea is to feel the weight more on your back than in your hands. The tip about squeezing your shoulder blades together is really helpful here to create a better "shelf" for the bar. 2) If you're squatting twice a week, making one of those days a high bar squat (or variation) can bring some relief so you aren't beating up your elbows all the time in a low bar position.
@joel5956 all my squats are high bar actually since I had a hip flexor strain from low bar that doesn't hurt but never returned to 100%. I could have sworn it was a hernia or something but doctor palpated and did tests and said it wasn't. I was low bar squatting and felt popping sounds then weakness then I had pain in my left testicle for a while so this actually made me stop barbell training for a little while. I've since returned but only high bar now
Doing heavy FrontSquats (using a FrontSquat Harness) also helps a lot to build up your upper back strength. Can totally recommend this.
Yes helpful getting back into lifting and thanks man

Awesome progress!

Thank you for keeping your language clean. Too many fitness RUclipsrs are way too vulgar. Many of us don’t want our small kids hearing any cussing.

Wow you lost a ton of weight! Good for you!
