Mark Rippletoe is the guy who carries a replica of the scapula in his pocket all the time just in case.
What makes you think it's a replica? Probably from some crossfitter that tried to argue with him.
Cranki best comment I’ve read (applause)
Lol is he Predator or .... Sth
*Rippletoe*
lmao
After squatting incorrectly for decades I came to loathe leg day. After following this channel I actually look forward to each squat like it's a first date! Every rep is a learning experience. 👍
He said "it's not the most exciting thing to talk about" but it's literaly the best video I saw about the squat. I've Always had pain in my wrists and elbows during low bar squat. Thank you
I've been doing it all wrong! Too wide, too low, thumb grip, wrists bent. Glad I saw this.
Mark Rippetoe: The Strongest Nerd Ever.
One of the most helpful squat videos ive seen
10 years old video and still going strong. Amazing content. It cannot be done better. Thank you for making the world a little better Mr. Rippetoe
This video is absolutely the very best demonstration of bar, hands, and elbow placement in the low-bar squat that I have ever seen.
A true master of his craft. What a privilege it must be to have him as a coach.
A lot of guys talk crap about Rip, but this bar set up instruction is the best I've seen. My wrists are thanking you Rip!
There are so many videos out there about the low-bar squat, but this is the first and only time I've seen one that covers such important things as gripping the bar correctly, where to place it, and the grip width. This is one the most instructional videos I've seen with regards to squatting properly. The elbow tendonitis is an issue I have, and I think you have solved a problem that was actually worrying me. Thank you Mark!
Don't you just love how comprehensive and thorough Rippetoe is ...?!
I've tried to master the low bar bar squat but my wrists always hurt, that tip to use a thumbless grip has helped me a lot
Yeah I had wrist pain this morning so gonna do that
After 15 years of heavy squatting with a straight barbell, I developed “golfer’s elbow” (medial epicondylitis) from holding the bar over long 20-rep squat sets. Eventually I needed elbow surgery to correct all the scar tissue that had accumulated. I show people the scar on my elbow and tell them I got that injury from barbell squatting, and no one can understand how it happened until I explain. It took another 2 years for my elbow to fully recover after the surgery. So basically if you have a genetically robust forearm then yes, hold the bar nice and low. If you were not blessed with such constitution, then my advice is to get a yoke bar for heavy squatting. Same exercise, but much less stress on the forearms and interior elbow.
@@mensaswede4028 Thank you for the detailed advice man.
I find all of Mark Rippetoes videos extremely practical and helpful, especially if you are new to weight lifting.
Thank you very much for all your efforts, there is a huge volume of people out here who truly appreciate you sharing your expert advice.
Thank you.
hes no bullshit
Thank you.Alan Thrall's and your chanells are my favorites.İ watch them from Azerbaijan
Great video man. Not only is this helpful but it's also very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
AWESOME!!!!! After 30 years my squat grip and bar placement is now fixed!!!! THANKS A MILLION!
ALWAYS bringing the good content! Thanks Rip. You’ve taught me so much about proper lifting. I appreciate it.
I am feeling so grateful that I found Mark. The Best Teacher on the Subject. Thank You! So much for doing what you do and sharing it. words are not enough to express my gratitude. Namaste.
Some of the best advice on proper grip I have found, a lot of folk focus on bar position but don't always talk about the correct grip so as not to put pressure on the wrist. Excellent, thanks Rip.
Such information. Thank you. I just switched to trying low bar today. I added 30lbs to my pr.
This was a really good explanation of squat grip, which greatly helped me to spot issues in my own squat. Thank you so much for the help!
simple and understandable, 10/10
I read the book some years before. I start my training recently. It's help me improving myself quick. Thank you.
This is my favorite squat instruction video. Mark does a excellent job on explaining the why's. I watched this video last year and I'm doing Lowbar squats again this year and restarting Starting Strength. The Grip position was just the most important part of the video, and the squeeze of the arms to the shoulder was second part. Just practicing this movement with out a bar with elbows back and pushing your forearms in to the shoulders and you can really feel the muscles working. In the Art of Manliness video no discussion was mentioned on Brett's grip. So this video is somewhat better than that one.
Cannot express how grateful I am for this video. I was demolished by the pain that inflicted my wrists and shoulders but most importantly my back. I think I was putting the bar way too low, thank you for this video Mark! Liked it!
Very helpful, no nonsense. Thanks for creating this! This helps me out a lot.
i've rewatched and rewatched and rewatched this. awesome vid.
This guy is a legend.
Outstanding video for low bar rack position. I've always struggled with this and resort to high bar because it's 'easier' to find. Thanks Rip
At 275 I began to get elbow and shoulder pain on my left. This video has shown me that my bar placement was TOO low. Great video!
This video is absolute gold
Unbelievably helpful tips! Been trying to get this right now for months and this is so explanatory.....thank you ❤
Out of all videos this helped the most especially the thing with the hands and wrist. Made a huge difference and 185 5x5 was really easy today. Feel really confident hittin 225 5x5 soon to come.
Your demonstrator trained here at Tucker PEC, Fort Bragg, NC in this past year 2018. Great Guy and really knows your principles well Mark!
The most detailed how to ! Amazing - thank you so much !
Spoken like a true leader and coach, hope to be like you some day
Legendary video. Excellent. This helped me fix a lot.
My trainer, who has 25 years experience as a competitive power lifter did not notice me doing all of the things wrong: too wide a grip, elbows down, bar told low and sliding rep by rep, thumb grip....all of these things. But he did tell me that I was coming out of form and stopping me once we had done a considerable amount of volume in the rack.
My squat has gone from 185 to 405 in about 6 weeks. He has taught me to tap into my muscles quite a bit. But he did not anywhere near tell me what Ripp has just told me about WHY my squat was bad and HOW to correct it. After watching this video, I am going into my squat day--tomorrow--armed
Armed with a GREATER UNDERSTANDING, ready to apply these corrections so I can possibly hot a new PR. But more importantly, I am keyed up to not have wrists that feel like they are about to fuckin explode and a heavy bar full of iron menacingly sliding down down my back
Lawrence Malcheff my squat is pretty weak any workouts , traning advice ur trainer taught u to increase ur squat to 405 in 6 weeks
Elbow under the bar cue is given by so many powerlifters. That's the reason we need to be a bit skeptical about everything before trying it ourselves.
185 to 405 in six weeks? How much trenbolone are you cycling???
@@imcoleyourenot8391 Trolls are so bad nowadays.
Very Informative! Thank you!
This is very helpful, so few gyms coach barbell work properly and I this helped diagnose my squat problem and now I know how to fix it. Thank you.
Worth watching over and over
My goodness. This is gold.
I needed this video because my wrists were taking a beating, can't wait to try it this way.
Thank you so much, I needed this!
This one is excellent, and I'll be coming back to it routinely. Thanks!
[My book order should arrive tomorrow.]
It took me this long to find out about Starting Strength? Thoroughly exciting content.
This guy is in a league of his own. No one else I’ve seen presents such a clear and comprehensive understanding of the anatomy and the correct way to use it to lift weight. I’ve got his book on order, and don’t see the point in listening to anyone else on lifting.
he teaches people to not put their elbows up in another video.. gives conflicting information
Thanks for posting this.
Best video on bar placement I've seen!
I am going to post right here tomorrow after my squat workout how this post worked for me. I am looking forward to it greatly.
The best video ever. Thanks Mr Rip.
Thank you very much Mark!
Great video thank you Mr. Rippetoe
That´s what I needed to correct my squat! Thank you for posting it!
This just helped me a ton! i started getting tennis elbow because my arms were caring alot of the load on my heavy squats. not only did they already cary load at the start of the lift. but it got worse after the 3rd rep. This just explained EXACTLY what i was doing, doing wrong that is. Next time im going to squat im going to first get my grip right.
amazing demonstration
Thank you this helped so much have always struggled with the squat
This is really excellent. Great info!
this video helps me A LOT!
Brilliant video ! Thank you
Thanks for all this actual usable information. I'll definitely be buying your SS book.
Jfc, 10 year old video, which I have seen multiple times throughout the years, always gives me the answer I'm looking for. Last year or so of squatting periodically halted with golfer's elbow, which I knew was from squatting. Out of sudden I revisit this piece of gold and find my answer... Removed the thumb and raised the position by aprox. half inch and boom...
Many thanks!
Priceless info thankyou mark
Bought your book yesterday - love it - thanks!
This video is GOLD.
Awesome video. Thank you.

Great stuff, my golfers elbow thanks you. Been trying to figure out why squats hurt my elbows. Thank you.
very quality info, thanks a lot
Very informative, thank you.
Thanks. Very informative.
Very helpful, this video has helped my understanding of bar positioning soo much and my form and improved because of this .. no more arching back or bent over neck !!
This helps a lot. Great vid!
Thank you so much. It helped a lot.
I had a breakthrough in regards to my placement because of this video. I just knew what I was doing had to be off. Thanks!
O.M.G. I totally needed this. Ty.
Thank you excellent video🏋️
thx for sharing this very useful knowledge
This was super useful many thanks Ripp
So helpful. Thank you.
This was much needed thx!
this was very helpful. thank you
I'll have neglected this part of my squating. back to square one. Thanks Rip!
thanks Rip, you're the man!
excellent video!
Thanks for the vid.
You are 100% correct in your assertion everyone squats differently. Some guys have the bar so far down their backs, it's amazing they still have wrists at all. Many lifters with inflexible shoulders will move their arms very wide, some even resting their hands on the plates.
I think Mark's method is the most helpful and is best for keeping the pain away. It also inspires better form. But, ultimately it's up to you if you're competing and it's legal within the federation you belong to.
Love it. Dude made a science out of something intuitive yet oddly elusive.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
extremely helpful thankyou
insanely helpful
great information, nice video!
really helpful- thanks rip
Video'd myself and it seems your pretty bang on. I think half of the problem is trying to squat like I did in flat shoes, with the olympic shoes. Had a deload this week, so took the time to work on it. Helped a lot. Cheers mate.
Thank you for sharing this, I wish I had found it 3 months ago. I've been dealing with tendinitis (which I now know, was related to improper grip).
