@@bigdaddytrips6197 get lost hater
Bro plz tell me how u use that voiceover in ur video ?
Eg: what to do when somebody comes infront of your camera at the gym........in this video
Matt do you think next time for gauging your squat depth, maybe use my face? Especially for those pauses
Thank you, Matt. I plateaued at 699lbs and this enabled me to hit 700lbs.
nice, 701 next 💪
I actually laughed thanks pat🤣
@@brightontaylor4979No worries bud 😂
Incredible

How to get a 700lbs squat:
Step 1) Get a squat rack in your living room
Fuck. I have it in the bedroom, guess I should move downstairs.
I know theoretically how to squat 700 lbs.
1. Get a Barbell
2. Get a rack
3. Get 655 lbs worth of plates.
4. Load the weight onto the bar & squat it.
It's the *execution* that I tend to struggle with.
Already on it..still can only do 405 🤷♂️
@@Pantelifts10 more than half way there!
My girl throws a fit when I try fitting my rack somewhere in our studio
Hasn't premiered yet but I'm already calling it: 2 packs a day with nicotine chews intra-workout
You get better hypertrophy with menthols
@@Ataraxia_Atom I've heard 2 packs a day is better for priming the CNS for heavy lifts, thus helping increase strength which transfers over to more work capacity and hypertrophy. Doing a 6-week cycle of 2 packs a day followed by a PCT of chews, subsequently followed by a 6-week cycle of menthols, seems to be the best bang for your buck.

Not enough broscience, bicep curls are the only squat accessory you need.
one arm barbell curls in the squat rack, that's the shit.
@@RagingRugbyst shoulder pressing the leg press is my favourite
Makes sense considering squats are the best exercise for growing your biceps. It should apply the other way around too.
You have to do them in the squat rack or they don't count.....
Bicep curls and bench press are the only exercises you need. Everything else is just killing your gains
Almost died on the walk out but other than that it's a good lift.
1st
More anticipation than Donda right now
beat me to it jk
Beast
lol
I got a Bluetooth squat plug that added on 200lbs to my squat in 3 months.
I added 10x10 Jelqs after every squat day added 75lb in 2 week
I need to do that
BetaDestiny
What is jelqs?
@@joshee6385 the best squat accessory of all time
@@joshee6385 training the most important muscle
paused squats number one
bulgarian split squats two
and lastly leg extensions
Leg Extensions? Lol
@@innovatixn99 Ray Williams said that is his favorite squat accessory. Some people get a lot out of it.
@@dinnybam2057 yeah leg extensions are actually great. no-one hates on triceps isolation for the bench..
@@innovatixn99 builds the quads
@@gerardt3284 you’re right but also no one says tricep pushdowns are the best bench accessory
I went from 135 - 290 lbs in 1 month (muscle memory ). Hope I will get a 365 squat at the end of the year.
You will definitely
You definitely can just be patient don’t rush it so fast 💪
Godspeed. Keep grinding bro
I’ve been stuck at 295. Going for a new max in 2 weeks tho
Still on track?
Dude posted literally one example of the squat he’s talking about
Dude I literally love all your clips your advice carried my squat from 315lbs to 450lbs ass to grass. The only ppl who don’t like your videos are the ones who are scared to squat!!!😂😂 I legit love your videos dude fr fr thank you bro‼️‼️
Which exact Vids helped you raise your squats?
He just has so many Vids that its easy to get lost
Leg day waiting right around the corner, can’t wait
How did it go? Felt good to me
@@joshee6385 great, managed to get 200x5 reps and leg pressed like 650
@@justingalarza1622 that's great lol. I lift in kilos so I have no idea what those numbers mean lol
@@justingalarza1622 I did 100kg for 3 and then did 90 for 5
@@joshee6385 yooo i saw u from another video
Hell yeah Matt. I always go to parallel but will def have to try this. I've been doing the kneesovertoesguy protocol to help with my knee pain and has really improved my lifts.
@@natty1 hell yeah the good good. Im amazed at how well its working. Glad youre seeing benefits too
I started including his “Nordic hamstring” workouts into my leg day
@@TeeJayParkour he recommends that once a week for 5 sets of 5 I believe
@@natty1 I do it twice a week with my leg day and I just do 3-4 sets to failure like any other leg exercise. Already feel a little more power when running and jumping.
@@TeeJayParkour awesome! I love them
Looking forward to incorporating these on Monday squat days. Funny I was thinking of doing something like these, I think they're called one and a quarter squats. But these above parallel pause squats sound great. Is there a percentage of 1RM that one should aim for? Do you recommend adding these during hypertrophy or strength block?
Im liking this type of content man, im gonna have to test out this accessory on my next squat day. My descent is fine but after I get out of the hole I lose all tightness and my bar path is messed up which makes my hips shoot up out of sync with my back.
You have to asks yourself if your quads are weak in relation to your low back. If that is the case, then your legs will always shoot back once you come out of the hole, since your body will recognize that your legs are not strong enough to go into full extension by themselves, so your body will recruit you back/hips to help finish the lift. Leg press with you feet low on the platform for more emphasis on the quads will help with that.
Also ensure you have a solid and strong core. Bird dogs and dead bugs are great exercises to strengthen the core and thicken the transverse abdominis, which will enable your to brave more efficiently during a squat and help prevent you from collapsing over when you transition into the concentric phase of the lift.
Day of eating video
Could do that. Basically some form of this
Breakfast: 1/2 litre milk, coffee (don’t usually have appetite)
Post Workout: protein shake
Lunch: ~200-300g meat in some dish, usually carb free, half litre milk, and some vegetables
Dinner: some protein, some carb, some vegetables, half litre milk
Night Snack: touch up any missing macros

World class
Was waiting for the squat plug promo code
WIll definitely incorporate this at some point.
Best squat accessory - SARMS
Would you make this a main movement on a secondary squat day, or just do them after comp squats?
Squat plug?
Fun fact: Facial Hair Matt Vena is stronger than Clean Shaven Matt Vena.
How would you program this? A top set or a single followed by a few heavy sets of 3-5 reps?
I thought you were gonna say squat plugs
Finally some good fucking food.
Good 👍 stuff Matt ‘Pork Horse’ Vena
These have really been helping my ATG high-bar squat so far. I was repeatedly getting stuck right around 225lbs doing a Starting Strength/Stronglifts5x5 program. Not only was my movement pattern exactly as you described but I was also getting a lot of tendon soreness and stiffness in my knees the next day after my workouts which wasn't healing in time.
What I did instead of shifting to HLM or something like Texas methos/madcow, I simply made my Wednesdays a light "control" day. So Monday/Friday I do 3 sets of 5 at the latest increment of 5 pounds. Wednesday I do 5 sets of 3 reps of these pause squats as Matt describes, using 85% of my weight I used on Monday.
My pain and stiffness was gone almost immediately, my form started looking great the very next session even with 5 lbs more on the bar and I don't dread Wednesday's anymore. So far I'm at 250 lbs on my squat and feel strong as hell.
This kinda seems so good to be true. I've been having to go down a rabbit hole of research on this to find out why exactly this works.
How many sets and reps?
Bruh 13h that's rough
@1:25 this guys said doo doo
I was actually considering redoing that part because of that lmao
Also would you recommend going one size too big in squat plugs for a beginner using them??? Cos I csnt keep the tension in my ass
What percentage and rep range so you work with?
I’m doing starting strength LP and this vid is exactly what I was looking for. Because of heavy weight I’ve been leaning forward an pushing to much from knees to get out of whole. I would lean forward and my upper back would round. I appreciate the info thanks
Bar bending like a noodle
What approximate percentage would you recommend doing this at and reps/ sets?
Try starting with 60% for 5 reps
Bro, you are killing it. Run with it and get way longer content. Start slow add a minute a month or something. Love your perspective and your communicative delivery.
No it’s the squat plug
I feel like your bad example is my squat form exactly. I can't wait to try these and see how they help. Thanks for sharing!
What percentage of your 1rm should you be using for these pause squats, and for how many sets and reps per set? Great videos, btw. I’m definitely a fan.
Hi @mattvena what kind of rep range did you typically do this for? And how many sets in a week when you were building this up. Just looking for a ball park that I can work with
Hi Matt, why do you use stretch reflex? The concept of stretching a muscle seem to imply relaxing it in order to stretch it. Why not just maintain tightness his the glutes, intra abdominal pressure, quads, and just perform the descent slower?
No lie. I thought you only did shorts 🤣🤣🤣 good stuff. I’m rebuilding my squat. Starting back at 135 lb
same, coming back from surgery and it's been slow, cool to put 5 lbs extra every time but when you look at the total, it's sad.
Thanks Matt, as a older person learning to squat your tips are invaluable. It is kind of depressing see all you young guys squat mountains, but I need to focus on just getting better every day
That does it. I’m putting a squat rack in my living room. “HEY HONEY..,,?”
no bullshit just advice I like it sqauting has always been my worst lift so thanks
Hey anyone Jesus Christ loves you (Acts 2:38) and upci church locator for church. 700 us insane
Holy fuck. That’s really hard man.
Love this guy, hes shorts are informational funny and helpful like hes videos short sweet amd to the point. Great job Matt!
I used to just pause at the bottom. I like this variation of the bounce.
I did this variaiton with amazing results. What are your thoughts on doing the exact same variation, but for BENCH?
My bench is very depended on my stretch reflex in my shoulders, and when my triceps takes over I stall. Should I try doing pause bench presses on the way UP? meaning pause at sticking point on the way up. Thanks for reading this, if you did.
I have done pin presses without good results, and CGBP doesn't really address my weak triceps.
This video is wrong, the best accessory for squat is Tren
What kind of work do u do? Sometimes I feel like powerlifting and manual labor don't mix
Insert that one meme about women saying men dont have enough stuff in their living room lol
Oh I thought this video was about squat plug😅
Waiting for this ❤️
its triggering so much that the plates are wrong way round
How about we start calling these Vena squats
Video on injury prevention would be great
Can’t prevent, only decrease the risk.
@@MrGreen-hx8lp yeah I guess
Can you make a video about the equipment you have at home
Hello idol. I’m from việt nam ❤️🇻🇳
Best squat accessory: dianabol pills lol
From the waist down u look like u lift haha.
Lmfao i thought it was gonna be a squat plug
You must be the least jaked dude to ever squat 700 lbs.
I typed squat plug and this is the video that popped up.
#?
ngl i thought this was gonna be a troll video lol
why do you sound like clarence
Been doing these heavy for a couple months now and I have noticed a big difference in my squat.
Interesting way of talking
What do you mean at 2:13 with the knees?
Was that raw or with a squat plug?
ok, but how much does it cost?
any tips for adductor pain while deadlifting?
Your stance might be too wide.
Do adductor and hip stretching/mobility in your warm ups too
What would sets and reps look like for this
Quite a walk out there
Do you do roids honestly?
This is giving me such Inisght. You know I’m gonna just chuck it here. Maybe other people will learn from it
All strength range of motion tricks
Everything can be trained. Stpeciality and having strength at different ranges (arm wrestling)
Slow reps concentric and eccentric
Isometric at portions of the lift
Pausing and going back down and exploding up
Pause squats
Bouncing
Top range for sports
Explosive reps for power translation (25 % of your body weight ) roughly until it starts slowing u down (allegedly)
Ill try this out and see how it goes never have done this variation only pause squats which are great too. A variation that has helped me unconventionally is the behind the back deadlift/barbell hack squat. Found this exercise to help my quads so freaking much plus they're fun af. (Blame the bugez)
Comment for algorithmmmm
This tip helped me with my knee health. Thank you.
Have you squatted 700lbs before? You weren't clear enough with it
How about some Deadlift tips? I can always use deadlift tips:) Thanks for the videos. Very Helpful. Good luck with your channel.
Instructions unclear, ended up crushing my skull with the barbell.
My go too's are heavy goodmornings with different bars, very low box squats, and just alot of direct low back, glute and hamstring work. I was very quad dominant for years but my knees started bugging me after a while. Brought my posterior chain up and my lifts took off and my knee pain went away.
exact same
i would really like tips to get a batter torachic arch for a better bench press, in terms of mobility
Love seeing metal shit in powerlifting comments lol
Gymnastic and wrestlers bridges.
Seems legit but I'll be waiting for Jason Blaha's approval of it before trying it.
Looks like a living space
I am not a robot
the rack in the living room ... never got there but agree with the mindset but do you live in an office building? what's up with that ceiling?
Do you have a video for best strategy to increase Overhead Press for late beginners - early intermediate lifters with long limbs?
5th
Atm I'm only able to box squat pain free due to injury. Can i utilize that in a box squat?
The Vena squat 👀
Commenting for algo
If I'm already doing pause squat, do I do both or just replace it?
awesome video man, I will definitely start incorporating this into my routine!
