    1. Deadlift
    2. RDLs with your calves pressed up against something
    3. Good mornings (high reps)
    4. Reverse back raise

    For me it's a little diferent. Half way up I hit a point where my weight starts shifting into my quads. It's like I shift a little forward. I'm not talking about tipping forward. It doesn't effect my upper body. It's my hips and knees

    I squat more than i deadlift but I have a joint problem that doesn’t allow me to heavy deadlift. I can only high bar and front squat safely (high bar needs to be performed almost perfectly or I risk getting hurt). I do the Roman chair with weight on my back but there aren’t many other options for me to really develop my lower back. It sucks cuz I can never live up to my clean and snatch potential due to this.

    My back to leg strength ratio is comletely fucked.
    Squat 1 RM is about 140 KG - Very deep ATG Squat tho
    Conventional Deadlift is about 230 KG and might even be able to push it to 240.

    Great info, love the channel. How about strong back, quads, weak glutes. It is possible, my dead lift was over 315, leg press was 1,000 and my squat was barely 225, after many years of research I realized I was not getting proper glute activation. Once I was able to activate the glute then I had to work on strengthening them.

    in the deadlift my hips always rise up first before my shoulders and it resembles romanian deadlift, any fixes for that? also my deadlift set up is like a clean pull meaning I start with the hips lover then standard

    • @lyn0002
      @lyn0002 5 лет назад +1

      Set your hips higher at the start of the pull. Sounds ridiculously simple but if your hips are rising off the floor, it means you're not setting up in the most efficient position and when the weight breaks the ground, your body will find that position for you (hips shoot up). The deadlift is not a clean pull, it is a hip hinge. Treat it as such.

    • @danielprest5887
      @danielprest5887 5 лет назад

      The first reply is correct, just pointing out in your own comment you gave yourself the answer if you re read it. I've no I dead on your experience etc but I would recommend doing Romanian deadlifts with a slow tempo. This really helps you feel the groove and movement while you practice the setup and pulling off the floor.

    Interesting. My squat to deadlift ratio is ~0.72. (130/180)
    When I fail a squat I fail in place, my hips don't shift up, I just stop moving until I start going downwards again.

  • @drednac
    @drednac 3 года назад

    I am trying to figure out what's wrong with my squat. My best conv. deadlift is 180kg however my best squat is only something over 110kg (3 rep max) .. so there is something very wrong with my squat. I tried different stances (wide/narrow), I don't have a knee cave, I am not aware of having a butt-wink. I feel super weak at the bottom however after my knee angle gets over critical area just a little bit it's suddenly quite easy. I am planning to focus on paused/tempo squats but for me squats always felt terrible. I don't like squats. I was also thinking that maybe my femurs are too long or there is something wrong with my bone structure, but it doesn't seems to be way too obvious to tell right away. I had limited mobility up to age of 2 on my legs and hips (health reasons). Back in my "bodybuilding" days I was doing these terrible half-squats but I had much bigger quads and had no problems with the movement, everything kind of breaks down when I have to go low enough to reach standard depth.

      This is showing you what the average person lifts in comparison to their bodyweight. So the average 83kg person will lift 86% of their bodyweight. Standard deviation is the spread from the average and is a statistical figure.
      This chart shows how people who are slightly above average (1 std deviation above) lift 90 of their bodyweight, while those who are slightly below average (1 std deviation below) lift only 81% of their bodyweight. Hope that helps even though its a year later lol.

    I'm biased, but these "weak points" show me that the Starting Strength methods/form are the correct way to squat. When the weight gets challenging enough, the hips drive out of the hole first. It seems that is the case with strong highbar squatters as well. Just an observation.

    • @JuggernautTrainingSystems

      The hips driving out first is the mistake, so it seems you may have missed something there.

I just wonder why you guys preach chest up + a bunch of ticky tack assistance exercises in order to balance out the legs and the back. Obviously you guys know how to get strong too. It just doesn't make sense that two different companies with two different styles of squatting that both produce strength claim that the other is mistaken.

    Hello, I would like to ask this question, I am 84kg on good day I can deadlift 185kg, but my squad is kinda weak 140kg and I struggle to reach the depth with increased weight, what can it imply and what kind of exercises would you recommend? thank you

    • @lyn0002
      @lyn0002 5 лет назад

      There are a number of possible reasons for this but most common is weak quads. The knee extensors are in the least mechanically efficient position from full depth to just above parallel, so if they are weak the lifter will often struggle in the bottom position. Most importantly to address this, don't cut depth - reduce the weight if needed and focus on hitting a consistent depth with every rep. Otherwise, extra-deep squats are probably the best remedy. High bar squats, front squats and SSB squats done to full depth are all good options.
