Thank you. I'm a new subscriber. I really appreciate that you are keeping me from learning bad habits. I always want to get the most out of my workouts, and I have injured myself from improper form. I was really confused why no one ever corrected me. I trust the information that you're sharing. You are all very appreciated. Thank you again!
Dude do you have a program best for first timer in gym? I'm planning to go to gym soon but I don't have any idea what's the best thing to do. Hope u can give me advice
Great video and tips! You definitely need to keep a tight upper body and you want minimal movement from un-racking to you first rep When it comes to squatting, I have a few pet peeves with lol. First is so many people will have the bar on the rack at too high a position. You should not be doing a mini calf raise to unrack the bar! Ideally you want to have it level with your traps at standing height. It’s better to have the bar slightly below and have to lift the bar up than to have it too high and have to raise the bar. Secondly, I don’t understand why people don’t use the safety uh bars in the squat rack when squatting. I guess if you know you can squat a certain weight and don’t plan on pushing to maximum failure, you can squat without them. But imo, it’s an unnecessary risk to not have the safety bars or whatever they’re called. Also, I usually workout alone and also use them when benching. No I don’t do curls in the squat rack, but I will bench in it. I workout at my firehouse and I’m usually alone in the weight room.
Two problems i have when i barbell squat. 1. when i inhale then squat, i tend to feel dizzy after my 3 or 4th squat with this breathing pattern. Is this normal? I breath in, hold, squat, at the standing position, i repeat. Im breathing correct, so why the dizzy spells? 2. When im at the bottom of my squat, i tend to sometimes feel im going to fall forward. Why is that? Im leaning too far forward? Im not strong enough? I dont understand these two problems.
welshdragon2008 your hip is probably shooting up to fast. Focus on bringing your chest and hips up at the same time. On the bottom of the squat try to drive your traps in to the bar when initiating to go up.
Just to follow on and update you Sascha, driving my traps into the bar to go up certainly helped. I feel more control that way. Chest and hips up also helped me too. Also ive researched my form, and found that flat feet, which i have, also inhibit good squat form. Effecting balance, and problems in the hip. I dont have pains, but i may no have to accept that lifting a heavy squat, may not happen. Im squating light now, 70kg and find it hard to move my weight up. I would certainly like to be over 100kg
I saw your post and I can assure you, just cuz you have flat feet it doesn't mean you can't squat heavy. Footwear is your solution. You can't change the arches of your feet. But proper footwear can provide the arch that you need. The issue wth flat feet is that it causes pronation of the ankle. Get some good footwear that will essentially create the arch you need and you should good.
I just can't get low when I squat. I'm not for sure if my legs are so weak or if its really my hips that are moreso the problem. I would like to get to the point of getting low enough because I'm not feeling much glute activation at all
Good tips, but layne nortons squat form is really controversial. Maybe thats the reason he is insured, again. Driving the hips back is mostly a lowbar squat que. to load up the hamstrings and let the bar place over your midfoot. Please consider most of your followers are high bar squatters. So breaking at the knees is probably a better idea. (Similiar to front squatting) The machine you were searching for is called monolift. Mostly geared lifters in suits use it, because it is hard to walk with those things. Love you guys! But im a powerlifter so i tought id share some knowledge!
saschawhite we actually covered low, mid and high bar squatting . The idea of the videos is to share as many useful tips as possible . The channel is not designed to say , "this is the way" . We are all VERY unique when considering limb length , hip sockets and imbalances . To say "this is best way to squat" in my opinion would be worse . Hopefully these tips helped Someone. You make good points but don't be fooled to think it's that simple either . Much more to consider . That's why we have a podcast and private forum to go with everything .
Adam Schafer i fully understand my man. I just wanted to inform people that some ques work better for low bar and some better for high bar. Squat form will never be perfect, there is always things to manipulate. Im a longtime podcast follower and went trough maps red and black becore fully transitioning to powerlifting! Wish you a nice christmas
buttwink city, not enough mobility for that depth on both people squatting here. Also, telling beginners that if the bar hurts your upper back, you have the wrong placement is not correct; the bar will always hurt beginners, it quickly goes away though.
Jonas Grenne the bar does not always hurt beginners. That's false. Butt wink can still happen with excellent mobility depending on the persons actual bone and joint structure.
Хобби
These three compliment each other, and together they give great and professional advice.
Sal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You don’t wanna fart🤣🤣

Ceeeeement 💪🏽
That hips first cue might be ok for low bar squats.
try picking up the bar in a top squat pos, this way you only step back once.. ps love the program
Sal - monolift?
Nate Strickler that's it

Thanks for the great advice. I will try this tomorrow morning at my gym!
welshdragon2008 youre welcome. Be sure to tell me how it went! Follow me on instagram and send me a Dm, im really curious! :) IG: sascha_white

Just start with havin 2,5 kg plates under ur heels. U Will definately go lower, after a while you might not need to use them. Works for me.
no, try front squats is the solution.
schafer german, di stefano italian and andrews english?

Hi guys. What are the best shoes to wear when squatting? Is barefoot a no no??
Chucks
Something with a flat sole is very important
It's a Monolift.
The guy in the red shirt kind of looks and sounds like a small younger Rich Piana
Right babe?
was I the only one who thought adam was lowkey dancing when imitating a baseball swing and them transitioning to a squat pull-out ?
Caleb Guarino 😏😉
Loooll
I like it he's doing barbell back squats in the video
Wait a minute! Adam is not bald 😱
Another excuse why I won't go to the gym, for fear that I may rip a big fart
Sal just cannot let others speak.
U mean Adam
@@mohammed96011 No I mean Sal
the guy in the orange has the butt wink and does not have his chest up.... i thought those were bad form.....
He's squatting low bar so his chest is OK to be more down.
Thumb position ?
I go thumbs over

Why is this dude giving squat tips. Fkn built like a Christmas tree
just a copy from layne nortons. It might be more appropriate to title the video layne nortons's squat advice.
I think Adam and Sal could “lose” Justin and give a better demonstration. They need him like a moose needs a hat rack.
How about putting the weight rack back??. I sometimes get on my tip toes. 🥲
