![Squat Form For Your Anatomy [Perfect Depth Stance And Width]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7FF6VLej_bY/mqdefault.jpg)
your videos are the most helpful things, whenever I feel some discomfort after an exercise I just come here and find your stretches...i go ATG now and neck pains are gone :), gonna try these for the shoulder pain for my next squats
In order to recruit the fast twitch fibers found in the glutes you MUST go below 90 degrees.
I've had so much trouble with my squat form, and been on the internet for hours looking for the problem. This video has helped so much finally found the problem...Thank you
The core muscles (abs, lower back and obliques) and even the trapezius and lats work all together to stabilize the weight during the squat, so you're right here, the squat works many parts of the body all at once :)
haha, Elliot was so cute, looking like a big teddy bear. especially the ending, "aiit, have a great weekend" gotta say his old videos are the funniest, because they were so spontaneous and raw! Elliot is the best, no matter what time the videos are from.
Thanks Elliot you just confirmed for me what took me 18months of pain to learn the hard way. Now I will definitley do these stretches. I dont think I will ever low bar squat again either
Ah when Elliot was still sane.
And sounded like a 150 pound bitch
***** I think he just means before elliott started explaining everything with metaphors lol
He's coming back though!! Maybe he's sane this time... who knows..
+Adronomics Calling him crazy not wise. I call him true BECAUSE he reveals himself in his true state. Hes for real.
warpull shaddup.
I did squats today for the first time in my life, and this was the exact problem I was having when I did them. Although I kept my form pretty clean, my shoulders hurt quite a lot. I knew my pecs and front deltoid were tight, but I'll incorporate these stretches too. Thanks a ton!
awesome man it's great you found these video before you started working out, get you started on the right foot.
The instant I saw the elbows move I knew where my form had gone so terribly wrong. I had lost strength on my squat over the last few weeks and sure enough my elbows had moved back and up. Thanks for pointing this out. I'm just now pushing over 400 and can't afford to lose form on the squat. This was definitely the missing piece. Great video (even if it is a toddler now).
i joined a gym last week. i just stsrted doing squats. this video was very helpful thsnks a bunch man
Solid Instruction. You could even add some bent rows to all that to help strengthen the upper back and shoulders. It's an area alot of people neglect, myself included;)
This actually happens to me alot, looking forward to trying these stretches. Thanks.
Thanks so much! I have been trying different stretches for exactly this scenario and this puts it all together. You rock!
whoa, that elbow tip helped me out a lot. made my form a lot tighter. thanks!
I just did these stretches. It really did help me improve thank you. Also I'm beginning weight lifting so I get quite sore, and although it did hurt a lot when doing the stretch, I found that after I did these stretches the pain in my shoulders and around my pecks lessened by quite a bit.
a great shoulder stretch is the downward dog position in yoga. Its also great for hip and hamstring flexibility
@kdajin It always depends on the type of training and sport you're involved in. If you're a powerlifter, squatting down past 90 degrees is mandatory. I'm a bodybuilder with long legs so I squat less than 90 to focus more on my quadriceps. No matter what type of athletic endeavor that you're involved in, you have to train according to your sport and train smart, not just doing something because most people say it. It's your body at the end of the day and you want it intact with no issues.
i just watched a video of a high bar squat and the guy was saying to point the elbows back instead of down. i can understand why there is so much confusion about this because of the different kinds of squats soi guess its always good to listen to more than 1 person to find the right answer and the reaosn why its right...
Dude! Thanks so much! That has always been my problem and didn't know what to do.
damn, medial rotation in the shoulder. Thanks man, you just helped me out a ton.
He really made his voice deeper!
Helpful video. My neck is always hurting when I lift. I think I'm straining my neck too much in 95% of my exercises - not including the squat.
Not the ceiling, but just above neutral head tilt. You might want to tilt your head back 15-20 degrees.
sounds like im going to have to give that a try! i see power lifters squat like that.
That would be correct, for a low bar squat. High bar you need to have them pointing down. Having them back would force the back to round and inappropriately bring in the lower back.
i don't know... perhaps you can tell me why I should. thanks.
Thank you man!! That was very useful. I'm about to head to the gym now and I'll definitely apply your suggestions. Cheers!!
10 years later!!
Really awesome advice. Thanks for the fix
Could you please show a close up video of the positioning of the barbell and where you should grip it. No one seems to be doing and it's real important.
Some old ass shit! Thanks man!
why would this have 18 dislikes? like seriously....who would bother clicking dislike on a video where this man clearly knows his shit
I really needed this information !
thanks a lot mate for the video
Fucking hell Elliott man!! Looking back you were a proper beefcake... Looking much better these days!!
I totally do this, thank you.
Helped a lot, thank you very much!
his bar and arm positioning does not apply to low bar (obviously) but the stretches are still good.
this video will help me so much
helped heaps, was having this exact problem
no offense elliott!!! you are some one i very much admire man!
yea, your low back my be a bit sore from squats... that's pretty normal.
@ZERO1344 I'm talking about going beyond 90 degrees
Brilliant video.
I've been having pain in my neck like you said but it's been happening for a few months now. I actually stopped squatting because of it and am in physical therapy for my neck. I may need an MRI since my symptoms aren't improving, I think I may have a bulging disk in my neck or something. The pain seems to be in the sides and direct back of the neck (on the spine) and it radiates up into the back of my head and down through my shoulders. Any ideas what it might be since no doctors have helped?
Great vid I used to have the same problem
Maybe this is true for a high bar squat. In a low bar squat the elbows need to be raised. When the elbows are down the weight gets carried by the arms and causes injury. The arms shouldn't support the weight during the squat, the back should.
Helpful video , thanks
Thanks Elliot
Im kinda surprised in this video...I always looked up to Elliot, but ive read in Mark Rippetoes book that you want the elbows raised and pushing the bar into the back instead of down and supporting the weight of the bar which can cause shoulder injury because there's no way your arms are holding up whatever weight your squatting when they're in that position, your back is.
great tip thank you
many thanks
Great excatly what I was looking for.
thanks for this..i have kinda those shoulders thats leaning forward
thanks man - great tips
Fast forward 5 years, Elliot has now 720p, a smoother voice.. and hair on his skull.
Elliot during the dirty bulk phase 😂
cheers man i suffer so bad trying to do squats im like 6'3 and im really unflexible i cant touch my toes at all do u think this may be why my squatting is so bad? i can bench more than i can squat... one of the main probems with my squat is the neck problem u talk about in this vid i will give the stretches ago although they arent that clear cheers anyway man very helpfull.
thacks man very help full
Nice job strengthcamp
great help man! question...whenever i squat i always feel it in my thighs, but never in my legs. my thighs gets tight but below the knee it doesnt, what am i doing wrong
One other cure is to do front squats. It is impossible to have bad form because you will dump the bar.
thanks!!
Everything is correct except that he didn't say how long to hold the stretch. The stretches should be done dynamically (light bounding into the stretch), not statically for 30 seconds. Static stretches will reduce the power output of the muscle whereas dynamic stretches enhance muscle performance. That's why static stretches are done at the end. Good video though!
4 years later... Looking at Elliot. Looking SWOOOOOLE.
damn straight Mr. Freeman!
thanks*
I have a question, have you wondered about this program called the MegaMax Muscle Maker? (look it up on google). My mom says it helps ordinary people get buff.
oh Ellitott!
i get wrist pain from squatting. im a taller athlete ( 6'4 ) and i have limbs longer than my height. also, my hip flexor starts to hurt when I get below parallel, but I stetch it a few times a week, could there be any other reason for the hip flexor tighness or should I just stretch more often?
I squat 355 lbs right now im trying to get up to 400 lbs before football season in 3 months and i cant seem to get any higher while doing the box squats any tips?
PHIL Heath man !
Mark Rippetoe always says to point the elbows back etc
Toby Bromfield this video is 9 years old
ubaid khan its not so much that, its that he's showing a common problem and then goes on to show a high bar squat issue. Mark rippetoe was talking about the low bar squat when he talks about them since that's what he likes. I don't think mark rippetoe likes the high bar squat that's what started strength said about legs, to do the low bar squat ( I THINK, I haven't read that in yeeears. ) also, starting strength is older than this video, so this video being I think it was 9 years old is what you said? That's irrelevant. Another thing, I think mark rippetoe likes the elbows back just in the beginning to help create the muscular "shelf" that the low bar squat rests on. Afterwards I think they're supposed to point down. Anyway, the stuff I'm saying could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's not, I just felt I should state I'm not 100% confident that it's all correct. Nothing wrong with honesty lol people are always trying to "win" every fucking interaction with another, it's silly as fuck ya know what I mean? Hell, even if one does "win" an argument, you aren't in the end any better for it. I think it's just an insecure thing combined with people feeling the need to prove something. Like I don't feel the need to prove anything, I know who I am etc what i can do and stuff. Anyway my bad for the rant LOL, no idea how that started
I'm a little confused. I keep hearing how squats increase your vertical leap, but for me it seems like it's actually decreasing what my plyometrics have done for me. Any pointers?
heyah.thnx a lot
i am from India, and in my gym i am always advised to go down more than 90degrees, they say i need to go down more, i should almost sit. but i haven't seen any video in youtube who is going down more than 90degree. do i need to maintain the L shape or i need to go even down ?
thanks u for the video, but wen i do them my right arm an hand nums right up. it starts to hurt an nums right up dont know y lol.
he made some gains in his voice now :D
Does anyone know if he has a video about technique for squatting past 90?
while doing squats my back is paining.what should i do
saw many people look up doing squats and I was copying that. That is terrible for posture. Tuck your Chin in always.
this fixed my squat. even know its old.
when i try and squat my back always bends so i'm leaning forward and i always tend to fall backwards. i think it might be because my back is weak. any suggestions?
smart bodybuilder!
My form is pretty good when it comes to backsquats, just one question, why do I feel the whole upper body pumped? I mean my legs feel pumped up too but why can I also the pump in my upper body? Anyone? It almost like a whole body workout...
Dafuq happened to his voice
Roids
Elliot Thanks for this , sry that i weren't a subber here ;P
you have frickin MOUNTAINS on your shoulders
I want to show u my form on squats so u can q me. How do i do that.
theres a kinda samuel l jackson croakiness to elliots voice
3:24 boooooooooottyyyyyyyyyyy
I'm not personally offended. I'm simply surprised that someone is that bad at making a title - a short "summary," if you will - for a 5 minute video. And it's not bad in the sense that he could have picked a better title, it's bad in the sense that - like I said - it's just wrong. Did he go to college? Because if someone is that bad at summarizing, that person probably can't write a thesis, which (at my school, at least) would get you AT MOST a C minus. Just saying.
@StrenghtAthlete And why would a strongman have more views than scottherman ?
arent pushups the king exercise?
Dude, I've been having this problem, Every-time, I squat it feels like my left shoulder is about to dislocate.
He went from looking like Phil Heath to the hodge twins
Yo elliot
I dont want elliott to get mad at me but its more like a tyson with out the lisp
such a higher pitch voice here.
I wonder If he was on that tremolone stuff or how ever it is spelled
