Mountain Dog was the best

It's very common to find excuses for not doing deep squats
Here's a tip for y'all. The "design" of the quadriceps and where each head are connected, means that they work at different parts of the movement. So what i personally love to do, and what gives me the best burn and connection in my quads, is to do squat partials, from bottom to about mid (slightly above 90 degrees, 70 maybe). I need to go lighter of course. You should try it if you haven't, it gives an intense burn. The top part of the movement i love to do with Bulgarian split squats.
Hi there,
What part of the quads would your partial squats target?
@@ShiaFighter4Life I'm a geek some times, but not this much of a geek. I don't know which ones and what they are named individually.
It was a movement that was recommended either by Meadows in another video or some other bodybuilder i have learned a lot from.
I could try and find that video again though.
But once i tried it, there is no doubting the effectiveness, as with many other partial movements on different muscles. You get an intense burn and great pump that just feels right. But of course being a partial, also means that one or two of the quadriceps heads won't be trained to it's fullest.
So you never stand back up completely after each rep? Also I am unknowledgeable at lifting and am wondering what advice can you offer
@@SubstituteTeacherGarvey Since you are on Meadows channel, he was not a "lifter", he was a "builder". There are different approaches to how you train for mass and strength.
So my advice, if i can give you just one. You need to focus on training with time under tension, this means lowering weight and isolate your muscles so that you can feel them burn. This is where the term "no pain, no gain" comes from. If your muscles are in pain, they are growing (if you eat properly that is). And the way to inflict most amount of pain is through hypertrophy and isolation training.
So i do a lot of partial movements, because it keeps the muscles activated, i don't let them relax, this fills them with blood and a burning sensation starts to happen, then you keep going until you fail or have maximum 1-2 reps left in you.
Some times after a leg day i can barely walk for 2-3 days because my legs hurt so much. I can barely sit down in the toilet. 😆
@@ShiaFighter4LifeThe mid to lower thigh. And depending on how far your feet are will determine whether you hit the outer (sweep) thigh (narrow stance) or inner tear drop (wider stance). Your entire thigh will be working, obviously. But more emphasis will be out on specific parts.
Ass to grass while elevating your heels is a crazy quad builder and doesn't require a lot of weight. So basically, I would say it depends on what you're trying to build for that particular squat
So sad he's still in my heart.
How did he have this much recorded before he passed. Everytime I see a clip it makes me sad.
Full rom will not only build muscle but is better for connective tissue like your ligaments and tendons. Contining to do parallel to partial rom squats will leave your joints and connective tissue stiff especially as you age. Thats why people have pain attempting to go lower than what their accustomed to (parallel/partials) bc their ankle mobility is bad, knee connective tissue is stiff and then the back suffers. Continue to progressively overload the deepness in your squat and not only your muscles will thank you but also your tendons, ligaments, and all connective tissue within your lower body will thank you which is the key to longevity
One of the best in the business. RIP
Great advice. I threw my back out trying to get deep squats, been hurting for the last 6 days. 😢
I can also recommend the belted squat for a deeper squat/range of motion
Cheers John. Rip mate.
Great video. I love the message.
Thorough stratching is massively important for improving depth and buttwink.
For me I find it most comfortable box squatting with a wide stance. I can't do much weight but,boy do I feel it throughout my legs without the hip and joint pains.
Great advice as usual
If you were to do a squat only workout, working through various range of motions, you could hit every muscle in your legs.
Sure, but not well. Your hamstrings, calves and rectus femoris of the quads would not get trained sufficiently.
I love this guy
Love it
once you go below 90 deg youre risking injury to lower back, knees etc. i built quads that won me a few trophies going heavy yes but not past 90.
BS
Stopping at 90 degrees or shorter is where you have the most sheer forces on the knee. Deep squats can be tough on the back depending on build, femur length, buttwink, etc.
90 degrees the perfect form
RIP
Rip goat
Wait hes dead? What happened? Recently?
really tho
❤
Tell it to my knees.
In thumbnail I thought I was looking at a roiding Luke Skywalker
😂 . V funny. But sad
@@fredgardner2870 yea I didn't know this dude had passed away. He really does look like Mark tho
And then there are guys with 0 quad development trying to interefere with my form...till I pull my shorts a lil up
From the grave y'all
Show this video next time some string bean or Mr.Olympia in their own mind tells you that you need to ass to grass or it doesn't count.
Was worried about his back but in the end the juice killed him. A slow suicide.
Sad n true
If you can't at least hit parallel don't even bother squatting. Like John said, find something else to do.
He didn't say not to bother, he just said to do other exercises that allow full rom as well.
@@griggins gotcha. Might as well leg press though if you can't hit depth. You're mostly working the quads if you arent squatting to depth and the leg press will also be safer
@@Duke_Noobem Leg press are not safer then a squat. If you think that you should't say stupid training stuff to people.
Leg press are so much harder on your joint and tendons. on top of that our body are less build for leg press then a squat.
Our body are almost build for sqaut, not 100% but close.
So please don't say stupid shit to people that actaully can hurt people
@@jimdo9797 pure idiocy. Leg press is often used for injury rehab so cut the shit about it being dangerous! It is less dangerous that squatting, especially for beginners who do not have form. Squats require both stability and coordination, leg press doesn't. You're obviously a noob!
@@Duke_Noobem he was saying if you cant hit depth with squat. Do an exercise later in the workout with better range of motion, like a pendulum squat or hacksquat.
If you cant hit depth does NOT make a squat useless, that is rediculus…
You need pay attention to what hes saying…
He dead
