- How to squat! In the third video of the "How to Start Lifting" series, Phil and the Testify gang help you learn how to squat and also discuss how to go about your first squat workout.
When training, using chalk should be a given. Training without chalk is silly. Get and use chalk.
Spider Chalk (it's our favorite at Testify)

Great work Phil and team. These videos just keep getting better. Thank you.
You're welcome, Travis, and thank you as well!
Just a hint. Everyone making technique videos makes them much too fast, and shows things much too few times. I have to rewind crucial scenes again and again. 2 second scene, 10 seconds rewind. Again and again. And it's hard to hit pause at exactly the right moment.
So, it's better to use slow motion, pausing and repetition.
But, of course, great video as always. And thank you for making them :)
Roger that, and thanks for the heads up on that!
@@TestifySC I second the above comment. Great content! Glad I found your channel recently.
@@jkuper221 Thanks very much!
Should you use your quads on the way up? It's normal to feel the quads working right?
You should indeed use your quads, but if you cue yourself to drive your hips up, then your quads will get used as they are responsible for straightening the knees, and the only way for the hips to go up is for the knees to straighten.
In general, think (and cue) movements - not muscle groups. The exception is when you're trying to prevent movement. For example, we cue "tight abs" to help cue the Valsalva maneuver (bracing) before descending into the squat. This helps turn the trunk into a rigid, non-deformable column.
You might feel your quads the next day after squatting, but it's completely normal (and usual) to not feel them when you're actually squatting (unless you're doing something like a set of 20 - which I don't recommend - in which case you'll start to feel a bunch of things get fatigued toward the end).
Think of it like throwing a baseball or shooting a basketball - focus on the movement, not any one muscle group.
wow what a great response I get exactly what you mean, thank you!!!@@TestifySC
I'm glad it was helpful, and you're welcome!
