    I am disabled. If I go more than 200 feet, I need a wheelchair. There is damage to the muscle around my knees. I just squatted and got back up without falling or losing my balance for the first time in years. It's not in the knees or legs. It's in the back. Amazing. I wish I'd known the right way to do this years ago.

I am also an Cert Adaptive Training coach which has greatly benefitted me in the extra knowledge it provides in this relatively new arena of Adaptive Sports. congrats again on this great awakening.

    the whole "Push up with your lower spine and look at the floor" technique works really well, your back stays naturally straight (not upright, just straight) and your feet automatically stay planted against the floor.

      @@ronnoreplays7949 low bar squat is probably superior in terms of making the most muscles stronger, and that is probably why starting strength has old people do it for general strength, and it also makes these minimalist programs like starting strength or stronglifts 5x5 way more effective with less weak spots made in your physique after completing the program. For example, if you high bar squat like Tom Platz and dont want to do the other 20 exercises he did for legs, you will have some glaring weak spots in places like the glutes and hammies

    • @darrenjacksonnet
      @darrenjacksonnet 9 лет назад +1

      ***** Keep in mind that the angles aren't the same for everyone. We're all built a little differently so the angles will change from person to person.
      For example, if you have a longer back in relation to your legs your back angle in the squat will tend to be more upright and conversely if your back is shorter in relation to your legs the back angle will tend to be more horizontal.
      Regarding the hips moving forward... In this video the difference is very subtle and is hard to see but the difference in the two lifts (correct and incorrect) is maintaining the correct back angle. At the bottom of the squat, in order to correctly drive your hips up, you need to maintain the back angle as long as possible on the way up. On the movements where Rip was making corrections the back angle was immediately becoming more vertical as soon as the lifter was coming out of the hole.

    • @patmannyc
      @patmannyc 9 лет назад

      ***** Watch Brett's form. He 'says' vertical because most people think you need to keep your back perpendicular to the floor to avoid back pain. Brett is at a 45 degree angle when he says he's good. And the same with the hips, your hips will naturally come forward but on that squat he corrected, you can see the hips come forward too early, putting too much strain on his back. It's hard ot pick up but keep an eye on his lower body and you'll catch it

    • @Jeneric81
      @Jeneric81 9 лет назад

      ***** No, your back will be a bit more vertical due to the more forward bar placement and your eye gaze should appriopriately be a bit more forward. You can't really cue the hip drive which moves the bar in the low squat form shown in the video with high bar squats.

      But the short answer is that people think their backs should be straight up and down when squatting. What Mark is saying is that actually the optimal back angle when low bar squatting is slightly more “horizontal” meaning leaning forward and hinging at the hips more.

My knees are strong because of what he taught me. Guy knows his shit.

      Emil652 Short version: he thinks Louie is wrong. However, much of what Rippetoe says doesn't make any biomechanical sense. "Your ass is what gets you up, but don't push hips forward." ...Umm, hello, hip extension shiftss your hips forward (or your torso upright, if there is no knee flexion). Knee extension moves your hips up, yet he hates on the quads as prime movers.
      This video reminds me of the quote about asking the race horse how he runs fast (don't do it). Mark is a strong guy, and he helps beginners get "started," but his language and instruction is totally imprecise and unscientific. Don't play this video over the grave of Mel Siff. Lastly, not that anyone has much reason to care about my recommendation, but Louie Simmons is a definitely a superior source for technique and guidance.

      +jlushefski I actually think you're misunderstanding this. Rippetoe's explanation isn't biomechanically incorrect at all. The hip drive cue actually keeps the hamstrings and glutes active to perform hip extension are the correct moment. Th Louie Simmons shit he is talking about is Louie's technique that honestly is designed mostly for equipped lifting, not raw lifting.
      I will say that while I think Rippetoe's methods are great for teaching novices. Many of his teachings are very misunderstood. His hip drive cue is turned into shoot your hips up and goodmorning the weight which is just entirely wrong. I also disagree with Louie being a better source of information. He definitely has some very good information, and the conjugate system is quite interesting. That being said his methods are really best for equipped lifters. For non-novice lifters I'd actually advise people to look into Mike Tuchscherer, Mike Zourdos, Ben Esgro, etc.

    Please tell me there is more in this series. I would love to see a video like this with him coaching the power clean, or even the deadlift. Only wish is that a tripod was used and we could see your entire body in some of the lifts rather than following your torso up and down.

  • @farhanhussain_
    @farhanhussain_ 3 года назад +1

    Low bar back squats are the most "hip hinge dominant" version of all squats versions. It is most close to being a deadlift with only differences being that weight is on your back instead of hands and hips go a bit deeper.
    This is the very reason that Starting Strength uses it to drive progress in main deadlift which is only a 5 rep set. Low bar squats have direct carryover onto deadlift due to its extreme resemble with deadlift.

    Excellent video! I've been having trouble getting my low-bar technique down for quite some time and this video has so many great cues that have helped me big time. Out of all the low bar Squat vids I've watched (and I've watched tons), this one is by the far the best and easiest for me to apply to my own body mechanics. Thanks!

  • @praveenbhanot8712

  • @TiberiusStorm
    @TiberiusStorm 7 лет назад +25

    I'm surprised Rippetoe didn't say anything about your wrists are bent. In the Starting Strength video "The Squat - Bar Position" he spends 18 mins talking about how the back supports the bar and not your hands/wrists/arms.

    • @chrislong7239

      Yea there's even one point in this video where he says something about how his arms are supporting the weight. But that's not what Rip says in that bar position video. 9:44

    • @brotendo
      @brotendo 7 лет назад +6

      He can't fix every little problem in a 10-minute video. Yes, Brett's wrists should've been straight, but is that more important than teaching hip drive? Also, he doesn't EVER say the arms support the bar--he points out that raising the elbows helps support the bar, and it does that because raising the elbows a little tightens the upper back to create the shelf for the bar. Why not do a little more research and read the book?

    • @TiberiusStorm
      @TiberiusStorm 7 лет назад +1

      Because he's confusing me! In one video he said to lower your elbows out of the hole or tuck them down. then here he says something else.

  • @achromaticcold
    @achromaticcold 9 лет назад +64

    For those wondering, Rip says "driving your hips forward is the worst thing you can do" because you're not utilizing hip drive to get you out of the hole when you do that. Your hips go UP, not forwards. Up! Imagine as if you have a chain attached to the top of your butt, and someone pulls it up from a ladder - your hips go up! Hip draaahve gives your the most strength. Moving the hips forward instead of up makes you way weaker.

    • @blaket4060
      @blaket4060 8 лет назад +3

      You understand literally nothing. Rip's technique is so far off the ball game it's not even funny. It's like taking a minivan to an F1 race. no matter what you do to that minivan, you'll never win.

    • @blaket4060
      @blaket4060 8 лет назад +1

      90 degree upright position = strongest position. Anything further away from that is getting weaker. The more under the bar your hips are = the stronger your squat will be.

    • @blaket4060

    • @blaket4060
      @blaket4060 8 лет назад +1

      Achieving a vertical torso requires a high level of mobility as well as short femur lengths. For some it's impossible, but purposely slouching forward is squat strength suicide.

    why is it so fucking hard for you to film a damn squat set properly. take a moment to imagine what someone wants to see on a squat video.
    That's right, the whole body of the squatter, not portions of him, and certainly not the ground.and a side angle is the best angle to film a squat from.
    this video is good, but it could have been a lot better if the camera angles and handling were more reasonable
