HI Jeremy i have just graduated as an exercise physiologist is Australia and these videos are fantastic to be able to show to my clients especially as they are in the clinical population where proper technique is imperative. I particularly like the evidence based nature of your explanations. You have just gained one very loyal Aussie health professional. well done mate keep it up!
what a boss. he does a messed up version of the exercise risking injury to himself in the video (even though it's probably light weight for him) just to show how it's not supposed to be done, haha! Thanks for all the information man, people love and appreciate you and your videos.
Thanks for the really high quality content. I don’t typically leave comments on RUclips, but I wanted to take the time to tell you how much I appreciate the videos you make. The first video of yours came up when I asked “how to do squats with proper form” and I appreciated it so much that now I search your channel before every workout to make sure I get the form right. I’ve probably watched 20 or more videos of yours. The things I like about the channel are: - the science studies you reference so that I know is it’s been done before - visual overlays of the bone muscle and joint anatomy so that I understand what’s happening to my body - green and red arrows what to do an not do so that I can focus on the proper form - slow cadence of your speech so that the content is calm and trusted - no fluff/hype or meaningless content so that my time is not wasted - the videos are relevant, for example this one about ankle mobility and knee health, so that I keep coming back Thanks again for a great channel!
This brought instant relief to my knees when doing squats. Thank you sir! I just started working out and was wondering why squats hurt my kneecaps so much. What a great video.
@@smashb3766 If I remember correctly, I was doing mistake #3 in this video. I was a complete beginner so I had no idea what I was doing wrong. Haven't had any issues since!
Damn you and I are on the same wavelength! You always upload exactly the thing I’m looking for. I’ve got the most trust in your videos out of all the fitness channels. Thanks for your hard work!
As beautifully, systematically and scientifically explained as Jeremy always does. Mr. Ethier certainly makes the lives of guys interested in strength training a lot easier. "Keep up the good work Jeremy"
A simple one I do it alternate between Push Ups and then Laying Pull Ups using a bar like you're going to be bench pressing. Its the same pushup form just a pulling movement back up into that position. It really works the upper body and core. Doing about 10reps at 5 sets.
When I do to many leg excercises, my leg started to hurt alot, my legs hurt when i do squats, its been 2 days, but this dude saved my leg, thanks bro i will subscribe
It took me so long to perfect the squat/other exercises so I’m extremely pleased to see you shedding a bright light on it cause *SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO* many people at the gym are fucking themselves up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Even when they think they’re doing it right...they’re not 😂😂😂😂
i used to have knee pain while doing squats , i followed coaches advice which was not to let the knees go forward and stick the butt out . Huge mistakes! i started having more pain in my knees and to make it even worst back pain and sometimes illiac crest pain . What i ended up doing is simply obey my anatomy by letting the knees move forward and not stick the butt too much out and tadda ! no more pain whatsoever. This is to say that you don't need to follow trainers religiously
I'm on ankle mobility exercises ASAP. That test had my heel come off oh so slightly but no matter. I'm getting it fixed. Stay blessed Jeremy and thank you for this video 🙏
Man, I've been lifting for years and although I dont have knee pain with squatting, these tips helped me so much with my squats today I felt way more balanced and was able to go deeper much more comfortably.
3:53 I just wanna add: it may be an issue with your foot, too. If your feet collapse inwards (meaning the sole of your foot can‘t hold it up properly), your knees will, too. That‘s something that took me literal months, a physician, and a physiotherapist to understand. So, actively training your feet to stabilize the knee may help you with that problem :)
Good vid thanks. Doing a 405 challenge to raise money for my youth bursary in Toronto. Sending power out to all of you reaching new personal goals, do so with others in mind it will make the journey even more rewarding in the end.
Hey Jeremy, Another informative video. Like the fact you slow your pace down for instructions, and don't rush through your explanation. I'm one of your new fans !
This is why when I started working out I did the simple 5 sets of 5 lifts. Squat, bench, military press and barbell row/deadlift (swapped every other workout). When I started out I only used the 45lb bar for all excercises and increased by 5lbs each workout and took my time building up in weight but first was able to focus on perfect movements, and am now doing fantastic due to this. I highly recommend these compound movements for a comfortable and very simple workout routine. Its also interesting that my abs are starting to reveal just doing compound movements and I am not working abs as a stand alone workout.
Hi Jeremy! Can you please make a video about pump, especially if pump is necessary, thank you P.s. You're the best fitness teacher!🙂 Best regards, Paul
Thanks bro, my trainer always scolds me for my bad squat posture (lifting heel) now i know i have flexibility issue ,hope i will fix the problem with your solution
Omg my knees have been playing up since I moved to heavy lifting for legs and I think part of it could also be runners knee as I do a fair bit of running too but when I just tried the hip flexor imagining thing... Fabulous omg so much change even with bodyweight
@pingufromindia Your right dude, a lesson to never comment while drinking, I think I just thought hey I'm having knee trouble deadlifting can the hex bar help
Thanks mate! You are one of the best dudes making these guides and explaining everything and showing how to do it right! Helps me to be more confident in the gym with what am i doing and not letting hurting myself! Have a good one!
I recently got back to the gym after a long layoff. I ended up doing a ton of Air squats using a TRX band for balance. My legs were on fire the next day. I probably won’t use weights until I know my form is on point.
Great vid, thx. Slipping a small disc under each heel or using Olympic weightlifting shoes helps too. Squat as deep as possible with good form. Don’t sacrifice form for depth. The latter will come with patience, persistence and consistency.
Fantastic vid! Implemented just changing the direction of my feet a little bit, and knee pain is gone. I was pulling them in too forward (in relation to my torso, not my knees) and putting too much pressure on the inside of my feet, and then it just got worse from there. I dropped the weight to acclimate to the change, pushed my feet out a little more and concentrated on keeping them in line with my knees. It helped so much! Thank you!!
Thank you very much, Jeremy. You let things very clear. I have some problems on my knee and I was advised not to squat but I am planning to try again after a while without this kind of exercise and now I fell you gave me very precise instructions. God bless you.
My knee pain arose from using Olympic style lifting shoes. The raised heel made it easy for my weight to shift forward. I worked on ankle mobility and swapped back to a flat sole/barefoot. Pain was gone. I didn't really need the shoes to hit depth to begin with. I was just following what everyone else was doing 😓
Pointing my toes out and activating the hip flexors got rid of my knee pain while squatting! I thought I had bad knees, nope, just bad form ha! Thank you for this video!
hey Jeremy, big fan for a few years now. I would like to know if you can do a video on that patellar tendinopathy. I've had that problem for 3 years now and running seems to be what causes the problem the most (after like 45 min, I play soccer). However I do think I injured it with squatting. A video of therapy or how to heal those tendons (more in depth) would be awesome!! Thanks
Never had any knee pain when squatting, but in the past I've blown out both kneecaps (not while lifting). As you can imagine, I am *very* careful with squats. (The inward knee bending was -- uncomfortable -- to watch LOL) Even though I've had no pain, it's good to see these four mistakes demonstrated so I can know what some things to avoid are. Thanks for making this vid - -great, as always!
Great video! Would love to see you doing something like; ”The best Science-based Calisthenics Workout for Muscle and Functional Strenght”. A calisthenics/body weight workout that’s good both for aesthetics and achieving calisthenics skills and strength. That would be awesome

Calves
Supraspinatus and its tendinopathy please, igot injured and need help
Lower chest please
No copying; all original and helpful content. Amazing video Jeremy!
My knees hurt when your knees collapse in... This guy sacrifice his knees to make the video, damn
Yeah, you can see it in his face. Respect
That a fact .. I was just about to write this huge respect to him
YES
ikr what a champ
So much cringe watching that...

"Too much, too often". That is exactly what is hurting my knees. Thanks for the great video.
I just want to thank you for making the most no-nonsense videos, not too much talking, and always under 10 minutes. ❤
As a visual learner the post production quality of your videos are amazing, thanks for putting in so much effort!
Wow did I need this video. I have knee pain the day after squats
Looks like it may be my ankle flexibility
Less wieght and don't go deep 90degrees...just go 70degrees a cheat squat.
what a boss. he does a messed up version of the exercise risking injury to himself in the video (even though it's probably light weight for him) just to show how it's not supposed to be done, haha! Thanks for all the information man, people love and appreciate you and your videos.
I followed these tips today at the gym. Focusing on the hip flexors on the way down made all the difference in the world. Thanks Jeremy!

I googled “squatting knee pain” and this video popped up. Really informative and easy to understand, thank you! The algorithm doing justice for once.
Jeremy, I subscribe to a lot of RUclipsrs, but yours is the only channel I have notifications turned on for. Thank you.

Will you make a video about best push/pull workout routines?
up this
also twisting

Omg i needed this video! Also I bought your program! So happy with it!
Just Awesome! Looked at many videos and found nothing, 3 minutes of this one and got the perfect Solution.
Thanks a lot
Just in time,, was lookin for proper squats technique then i found this on my yt home.. subbed

I started squatting without shoes yesterday for the first time. It helped a lot.
I'm on ankle mobility exercises ASAP. That test had my heel come off oh so slightly but no matter. I'm getting it fixed.
Stay blessed Jeremy and thank you for this video 🙏
Man, I've been lifting for years and although I dont have knee pain with squatting, these tips helped me so much with my squats today I felt way more balanced and was able to go deeper much more comfortably.
Hi Jeremy,
A video on whether leg extensions are good or bad would be great. It's such a heated debate and I don't know who to believe.
Best Squat/Knee Fix video I've seen. Well done bro. Easy to understand.
man you have such a great body, you're one of the few fitness youtubers i can say i trust regarding this type of videous
I LOVE this video. I’ve always had issues with proper form with squats so this explains my heel being the culprit.
3:53 I just wanna add: it may be an issue with your foot, too. If your feet collapse inwards (meaning the sole of your foot can‘t hold it up properly), your knees will, too.

Woah! 1st view (great work Jeremy) keep going.

2:20 that test depends on height though, right? The shorter your shins are, the more you have to bend your ankle to reach the wall
I am a shorty, i do not have ankle mobility issue but i just can't do that. Can someone help explain?🙏
Hey Jeremy, Another informative video. Like the fact you slow your pace down for instructions, and don't rush through your explanation. I'm one of your new fans !
Jeremy great video as always, could you do a video about and example of how a push, pull,leg routine should look like? Thank you
Finally someone actually gave a proper solution.
Thank you so much 🙏
Great video, I recently injured the area above my right knee while doing squats.
Same here took a whole week to recover
I must say this video has helped me trigger the areas that I need to stretch more
Jeremy can you do a video on the difference between flyes and presses
Hatred Pkerz presses are usually for strength, flies are usually for size
This is why when I started working out I did the simple 5 sets of 5 lifts. Squat, bench, military press and barbell row/deadlift (swapped every other workout).
When I started out I only used the 45lb bar for all excercises and increased by 5lbs each workout and took my time building up in weight but first was able to focus on perfect movements, and am now doing fantastic due to this. I highly recommend these compound movements for a comfortable and very simple workout routine. Its also interesting that my abs are starting to reveal just doing compound movements and I am not working abs as a stand alone workout.
Sir Jer., thou shall save my kneecaps from my own undoing
lol
The weight shift was my mistake, thanks for help❤
My personal squat mantra is: Look up, back straight, butt out, focus the weight (mostly) in the heels.
Hi Jeremy! Can you please make a video about pump, especially if pump is necessary, thank you
P.s. You're the best fitness teacher!🙂
Best regards, Paul
So many things to keep in mind! It's a complex movement.
I love this. It reminds me of squatU videos just more concise.
Just what I needed to see. Understood how ankle mobility is restrictive! Thanks Jeremy! ✌️🤛
Watched this, corrected a few things, no problem doing squats now. Genuinely; Thank you for putting this video out
Hey, my problem when squatting is I use my wrists. Any tips on how to hold the bar so that I dont use my wrists?
I'd say, point your elbows backwards a bit, and have a closer grip (just outside shoulder width)
@@jjwp-ql5rv You want your elbows under the bar when squatting not pointed backwards
Take your thumb from under the bar and put it on the top. This will automatically teach you how not to use arms.
This video is perfect - I need to watch this every time I'm about to do a leg day. So many useful tips. Thank you!
Dude thanks for this. I am excited to let my knee pain problems become a thing of the past!
Thanks bro, my trainer always scolds me for my bad squat posture (lifting heel) now i know i have flexibility issue ,hope i will fix the problem with your solution
Seriously best PT on utube
Omg my knees have been playing up since I moved to heavy lifting for legs and I think part of it could also be runners knee as I do a fair bit of running too but when I just tried the hip flexor imagining thing... Fabulous omg so much change even with bodyweight
You post the best exercises at the right time
Is there any problems in using the hex bar for squats, do I still need correct squat form to avoid knee injuries or are dey minimised on the hex bar
@pingufromindia Your right dude, a lesson to never comment while drinking, I think I just thought hey I'm having knee trouble deadlifting can the hex bar help
@pingufromindia thanks will try to do that
Great video and helpful! I had locking joints after I had covid and my knees are painful when I try to do squats. I tend to overdo it. Thank you!
If you are not a Power lifter Box squats is the way to go...
I would love a video on free squat vs smith machine squat vs hack squat vs goblet squat!
Thanks mate! You are one of the best dudes making these guides and explaining everything and showing how to do it right! Helps me to be more confident in the gym with what am i doing and not letting hurting myself! Have a good one!
Man, how come U missed out on telling how wide the legs should be when squatting ?
Fax. Imma guess shoulder width
ankle mobility! thank you. your channel is so friggen helpful

Thanks for the video ill make sure to watch this before my next leg day
After watching this video I realized that I have the weakest ankle mobility game when I squat🤣
This was So awesome & helpful as I do alot of squats. You always talk slowly & smoothly to easily follow your instructions. Thank you so much
Your videos are always useful, to the point and easy to grasp. Thanks🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

HOLY SHIT THE TIP ABOUT ENGAGING MY HIP FLEXOR HELPED SO MUCH
Raise your toes, put something under them while you squat! That SAVED me!
For Box squats , your quads are not parallel to the ground hence, not activated to the maximum
Could you please go in depth for improving ankle mobility?
Best video I've seen in ages!!! Dude, you're a legend!
Thanks a lot man I was suffering from same pain on my knees after my legs workout and i came to know iam doing same mistakes.
Impressive, Could please let us know during squats how to manage hands/upper body posture .
THANK YOU!!! This was very helpful
No knee pain here, but definitely experiencing some knee valgus when squatting heavy (well, heavy for me anyway). Thanks for the tips!
Same here.
amazing video,,helped me alot,,,wish you all best
one of the few yt'ers thats actually naturel
I’m bout to get some squats in now after watching this💪🏽
Great video; will help me a lot thank you.
Thanks for the great video ✊🏽
This helped a lot! Thanks!
Great video, I like the idea of the overhead band for improving squats 👍🏽
Super super helpful! 😊
