    If you can squat a bar, you can poop in the woods.

      I always wonder how people poop in the wood if they can't properly squats and fall back during pooping . . . . not end well.

    A couple of years a go when I was learning to squat, this was really useful. Now I'm teaching my brother how to squat and need to learn how to coach the movement... turns out this is the video that keep on giving!

  • @weeshnaaa

    This was some good content! I would love it if Alan would do the same with deadlift and bench sessions

  • @AMowrey
    @AMowrey 6 лет назад +9

    I like this style of video, I can see myself going through these cues in my head when i'm squatting. It's really helpful to see a visual representation of the starting strength book and helps put things into perspective watching other people go through the cues.

    So... I wish I watched this video before I did my squat set today and tried helping my newb friends. Regardless I sent them your updated squat video and I'm learning a lot.
    Also, I appreciate that each of the trainees have very different body types. Makes it easier to understand how far some should lean over.
    Can't wait to try. Thanks Alan Thrall!!!

    When I first started lifting I just viewed the squat as a simple movement to train the legs. Just put the bar on your shoulders and go up and down.
    But it’s so much more than that. It’s such a complex movement. I’ve done more research on the back squat than any other lift and I’m STILL learning.

    I have rehabilitated 15 people using the starting strength model and all of them have become beast after a year of starting strength. When physical therapy fails you or bodybuilding fails you you'll pay good money to be trained by Alan thrall or any starting strength coach. P. S. Mark rippetoe is a barbell strength god sent to us from the cast iron plate heavens😇😇😇

  • @pinkdarkboy7127
    @pinkdarkboy7127 Месяц назад

    This video is amazingly helpful! I've been trying to lead with my chest, instead of my butt even though this is supposed to be a leg exercise... I've also been trying to break first with my knees instead of both hips and knees breaking at once, because I've heard knees are supposed to break first, but it feels so unnatural to have them break separately. Both breaking together feels so much more natural and correct for my body. Thank you for this! I used to lift weights and am getting back into it. I used to never squat because I heard it was so easy to mess up and destroy your back. I was fine with deadlifting though lol. This video gives me the confidence to try squatting now that I'm getting back on the saddle!

  • @robowarriorx
    @robowarriorx 6 лет назад

    This stuff works for me, personally, with my unique personal issues. I love the low bar squat style. I do still go AtG, but for high reps and light weight. When I want to go heavy though, the Bill Starr/ SS method is one I have adopted, and it works for my body better than anything else. Love the videos.

  • @L3x4Pr0ne
    @L3x4Pr0ne 6 лет назад

    This was a fun vid to watch. Very real world examples and classic of what you'll see at any given gym.
    Awesome coaching. Not afraid to say "too deep" or "put your knees over your toes."
    I'm no expert but given my knowledge I'd say you picked out all the major stuff for each person, just like you were supposed to.
    Also, girl in white top seems like a natural squatter. She seemed to be best built for it.
    Awesome vid. More please!

    @VegetoStevieD 6 лет назад +2

    I really don't understand all the hate for SS in the comments. I personally don't do EVERYTHING the SS way, but it's such a fantastic starting place to build skill, I don't see the problem here.
    When I first started studying Rippetoe's methods, I was a high bar squatter. I switched to SS method, and I sucked at it for a while, then I got better, and after a while I adapted into my own variation of it. It's well worth going through, even if you don't end up keeping EVERYTHING from the method.
