As for me , I always try to squat a little bit lower than my self-esteem

I wish your videos were available back in 2001. So many young athletes did this so very wrong causing massive lower back injuries that required surgery. Back then the mentality was: "Put 100Kg and go as deep you can your body will strenghten it self." I will go through these videos with the kids that I coach. Never again shall the mistakes of my generation be repeated. Keep up the good work. You rock.

My wife is a PT DPT and you're the only person that she endorses. Congratulations.

This is high quality content. No rambling for 10 minutes. All good information throughout the 18 minutes.

Jesse always getting those Vietnam flashbacks

Jeff: "This test says if you can squat low." Me: (lying on the bed) "Ok" Jeff: "If you can do this, you don't have to worry about squatting very low." Me: "hmm" Jeff: "Everyone says it's a good way to test it." Me: (finally gets off the bed and get down on the ground) "Alright, you got me, let's try it." Jeff: "This test is a complete garbage." Me: (falls down on the ground)

Me: *goes to sit down on toilet* Jeff: "It's clear you have pelvic instability. You need to keep your pelvis more in alignment."

How ever low Jeff tells you to.

I received an MS in Physical Therapy from watching this video.

Absolutely love these videos. I'm going to school to be a physical therapist and I really like that you break it down and reference all the specific anatomical problems and visualize it too. I learn just as much from you as my professors, if not more somedays!

I've been working out for around 8 years I would say now. I was at a cross roads with pain In my back and legs and this channel saved me.. With great videos just like this... I actually had a week gluteus medius and I did the drills this channel said and it changed my life... man is good at his job

What have we done to deserve this many uploads?!?!?!

So i have been feeling smthg was off druing my squats mainly at my rigth ankle then i watch this and learn that i have Pelvic Muscle Tightnesses and Ankle Mobility or Flexibility Deficits now i will start to work on those. Jeff you just saved me from multiple devastaing injuries. As some one who has been injured A LOT words are not enough to express my gratitude. Thanks for being here.

Please do a video on the following; 1. Overhead Press 2. Rotator Cuff issues 3. When to switch between hypertrophy and strength, and how often Thank you so much Jeff!! You've really given me more confidence to approach exercises that i was previously skeptical and afraid of,

How does this guy still have stuff to talk about?

Every time that I watch one of Jeff's videos I feel that I haven't learned anything before.

4:21 jessie:"damn jeff, at least invite me out for dinner"

Hands down, The BEST fitness channel on KZfaq

Jeff is the smartest guy in the industry. Watch all of his videos, follow his advice and you'll be strong and injury free. Thanks for all the great tips Jeff.

How do people actually dislike this video?! You literally got a class on biomechanics for free.. instead of paying for over priced tuition.. I’m in awe

Jeff, I have never, that I remember, written a comment and hardly give any likes on videos. I do follow you and have been for the past 2 or 3 years. This has got to be the best video demonstration and explanation I have gotten on this platform concerning these squat problems. Thanks man this definitely helped understand some things.

JEFF Do a “glutes sore in 6 minutes” video PLEASE, I NEED YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON THE GLUTES

This was a very helpful video. I was butt winking and didn't even know it. But widening my stance slightly and pointing the feet out, it allowed a bit more room for my knees to go out, which helped solve my problem. I was getting very strange bladder discomfort before from squats and now that is all gone!

As a personal trainer..reading application and jeff's vidoes give my the best to be sucessful

Jeff, much appreciated. Please keep up the great work. Don't know about others but I have pretty much unsubscribed from all other channels (claiming to provide fitness advice); nobody comes even remotely close to the value for time Jeff provides. He's the real deal.

Jeff doesn’t do cardio , he just talks 15 minutes straight at 100 mph 😂

@ATHLEAN-X I just wanted to thank you guys for doing what you do. you inspire, give hope, motivate and educate people. this ist the pinnacle. i am so happy to have found this channel and im implementing those changes you adress in corelation with my own weaknesses and deficits. to quickly sum it up, Ex Boxer here, got rolled over and dragged underneath of a car when i was a juvenile, since then struggling and batteling with chronical pains and distabelized hips etc. had a broken LWS 1 and some other issues due to the attempted homicide i suffered from when i was 17. ever since then, fighting to keep my physical health, working out, beeing human with its flaws, pro's and cont's. AND YOU GUYS. you are helping me, inspiring me and educating me. THANK YOU.

Love your videos. Especially when you go into your PT. My hip joints are wide, but I did not know. I went through years wondering how I could max-stack the extension machine and hack-squat while struggling on the squat rack. In fact, squatting often hurt my back so I avoided it. Because my high school strength coach enforced a strict "feet shoulder-width, facing straight." When I widened my stance and found a comfortable foot angle, my squats exploded w/o pain. Knowledge (plus hard work) equals power.

I'm glad we have you Jeff ❤

I’m never first but I’m glad the knowledge always is

I love when he gets into hard science physical therapy stuff

This is information has helped me out so much. I have corrected a lot bad posture issues and have recovered from back pain from taking Jeff’s advice. Thanks, Jeff - it means a lot.

Next video: "Do you know how to blink your eyes while training! We have Jessey here showing how he used to blink wrong and where he is today."

I'm a simple man, I see a new athleanx video, I stop everything and watch

These are the type of videos why your channel is the absolute best.

Brilliantly covered. Can you imagine if every video on youtube was as excellent as this? We'd all be geniuses!

Gee this is advanced. It will take a few go throughs. Thank you.

6:32 just chillin on jesse’s knee

Damnit why does the squat need to be so complicated.

I skipped to around 11:20 for the ankle flexibility part, then Jeff called me out for skipping ahead thus missing key gains 😳 Actually check it^^

I'd like to see a video talking more specifically about what to do about all of these.

Awesome video, this channel not only provides great workout tips, but also anatomic ones so all of us can understand root cause of many issues and pains we have on our body not just while working out but in regular normal lifestyile, so it combines great tip for exercise and strenght, but also keep our body health from physiotherapist point of view which is great , so my sincere congratulations from Madrid, Spain to Jeff anf Jesse, keep going!!!!!

This is gold! As a 6 ft 5 inch tall person working on my squat it is good to get some solid content on how to ensure my form is always on point.

Shit Jeff's forearms are bigger than Jesse's calves 😂

I just love him. Wish he could be my personal trainer. So knowledgeable. 🥰

This is gold for every lifter trying to stay healthy and strong. Thank you Jeff 💪

I've learned more from Jeff in two months than I have in years of reading fitness magazines and reading "studies show" articles on the internet.

How refreshing to find the most thorough workout program and nutrition guide online....with video instruction. I signed up for "Inferno Size" and you are killing me...in a good way :)

This video should be renamed squat 101.

Love videos like this. Packed with knowledge. I’m 37 been lifting, running and training on and off since high school weight training and I just learn something about myself I didn’t even know was a thing. Going to start fixing it tomorrow. Thanks Jeff and Jesse!

BEST !!! fitness channel on KZfaq. Jeff stands alone. I have over 40 yrs. in but I feel I can always learn more.

Still here, still watching after so many years.. yes I'm a woman, yes, who cares.. and yes I've learned so many things from your videos Jeff! Thank you so much for sharing valuable info among all so-called(self-proclaimed) professionals on youtube. You simply rock, I wish (if only) you would be my pt, especially coz you are a physiotherapist, something i really need at this point (on recovery..). You simply know what you talk about, facts, not assuming. Keep up the good work and big hi from Spain. 🙏💙

Jeff, your videos are awesome. I have been squatting for 20 years + and just working through the pain...assuming it’s just weakness. This video has enlightened and inspired me. Thank you so much!

I've been spam watching all of athleanx vids this past week, and I have to give a big kudos to Jesse for exposing himself and showing us his progress!

This explanation, as whole as it is, that's what I've been looking for since 4 fucking years of lifting. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! Keep changing lifes, please .

(17:52) "This channel is always about put real science behing strenght... not just break down pubmed studies..." Savage!!!

Jeff this is by far one of your best videos. I've always had issues with my squat and I'm going to work on getting it fixed. Thanks!

Jeff, this types of videos are magnificent!! Thank you very much for your knowledge and time!! Keep doing more of these please!!!

Every time I watch your tutorials on different exercises, I feel like I need to relearn these exercises bc I haven’t been taught what your talking about, and it amazes me how much disinformation there is about weightlifting. Thanks for all that you do!

The feeling when my hip and ankle mobility sucks and I have some pelvic tightness

Jeff, you've completely changed the way I approach fitness. My knees and shoulders have never felt better. Could you do a video on adductors? If possible, could you cover mobility, flexibility and strength training? They seem to be the weakest part of my legs, and I think it's an area many people neglect. Thanks for everything, I feel like a new person these last few months because of you and your team.

omg this vid helped me SO MUCH!! I've been having the same issues as Jessie at 10:17. Now I understand more about the anatomy of the hips and the functions of the muscles around it, I've made a few changes to my squat and added in a few stretches to my adductors. My squat feels a hell of a lot better! Thanks so much Jeff!

By far one of the most helpful videos I've every watched. I've always struggled with my squat depth and never could do "ass to grass" until now. Thank you Jeff for the amazing content!

This is a thesis not a video

This is the greatest squat video on the KZfaqs! Seriously though, please make more of these. It's a shame that it has "only" 300K views at the time I am posting this.

jessie’s video is a proper depth squat - breaking parallel. that is, the crease of the hip slightly lower than the knee. breaking parallel doesn’t cause “butt wink”.

All these fitness models on Instagram need to watch this video. Every time I see them squat they do the butt wink thing.

i recently got back into squatting, and even with light weight, i keep feeling my knees "crack". sometimes the left knee sometimes the right knee. i asked others around for suggestion and they first checked my form, they said the form is perfect. so what is happening??

Fire🔥🔥 the squat and bench press is probably the main 2 exercises I feel need a scientific breakdown like this there not hard exercises but can b easily messed up especially with typical gym bro way of doing it correctly and ruling out sum the corrective actions if need be. Btw I been watching and liking and following the channel for everything within my 75 pound weight loss journey and lifestyle to fitness. Ps the new camera is a huge upgrade..

Jeff does such an amazing job of explaining the science behind anatomical movement. Its crazy!!!!!

Pretty solid video. On the other hand, I'd like to hear your take on hips popping when lowering leg.

Skeleton: I used to be you Jesse but Jeff abused me so much I got hung out to dry.....RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN !

How am I even capable of squatting, I have half of those issues. Jeff is a genius. He helps people find the root of their problems and shows an easy fix. I love this channel!

I'm able to maintain the anterior tilt in my pelvis. It turns out that, for me, the issue was calf tightness that was preventing me from squatting lower. I've been regularly stretching out my calves with two sets of 30 second stretches each leg. Now I can almost Asian squat! But I can't go that low when I've got weight on the bar. I'm very happy with the improvement, though.

Jeff, Consistently excellent information. I really appreciate these deep dives, it is incredible to have you as a solid resource. I had problems with my knees when I was young 14-16 from lifting with no training. You did a great pushup series on tips to do push-ups with shoulder injuries that was awesome, can you do that for squats? Apologies if it already exists.

This is awesome! As an athletic training student, the explanation of the proper squat and focusing on movers of this exercise is very helpful. Thanks Jeff!!!

Great video solid content as always! wishing Jeff would cover an area overlooked by many and that is Overtraining

I love all the videos on this channel, but I found this one extra helpful. Ive been struggling with squat mobility issues for years and this was like magic! Please do more videos like this

I saved this video 5 years ago and still come back to it. Top stuff.❤

Great Content, Jeff. Thank you for addressing such a highly debated issue.

Can't understand anything? 🥺

Jeff I’m going to school to be a physical therapist and watching your videos are always inspiring.

Best fitness channel hands down

Thank you, Jeff, for making such important information free to all of us.

Impeccable information 👏👏 once again 👍

I recommend this channel above all to the trainers at the gym I work at. Be careful when getting trainers from corporate gyms people, as long as you have a cert you can get hired, no experience, no background, no nothing. 15 trainers at my gym, half of them don’t even work out! And there’s no training education, only sales training! My GM, Fitness Manager and Lead Trainer never ever train! So as a trainer of 14years (no desire to manage anymore)I point this out and tell my clients to always ask questions of their trainers in the future. Bc u might get someone who got their cert last week.

Nobody has ever explained the Squat to me quite like this. Thanks Jeff!

Getting ready for leg day and thinking about this exact topic!!!

I just finished doing legs too, lol. Jeff is the master of timing.

Its amazing that no matter how long his videos are they are full of valuable information. And I cant stop watching them.

I really like your in-depth PT style videos where you go over all the possible reasons you might be failing to execute proper form and where specifically you can make fixes, very well done

As low as Slav squat Blyat

Depth matters!

This video is pure gold!!! I had been doing deep squats for about 4-5 months.But after my break when I rejoined the gym and tried to do the same deep squats and go heavy I started expriencing lower back pain. So basically until then I never noticed that all these months sqauts were the problem for it. Now after I understood that I had been doing squats with constant butt winks!!After doing these basic test now I know I have anatomical restrictions😅. So I started all over again with the tweaks Jeff suggested and my squats are getting painsless just as before.... And now I know that I am doing it right all thanks to jeff!!!😍

One love keep the vibes high and remember to do something today that you can thank yourself for tomorrow!

Thank you, brilliant video. It addresses more than one issue which I have and never really understood why I can't squad deeper.

So if there is a hip anatomical restriction, how exactly do I fix that in a squat? Do I just stand wider? Or do I keep the same width, but flare my knees out as I go down in order to avoid the bone-on-bone problem? I wish there was a demonstration of how exactly to apply this to the squat.

This is the single best fitness channel on youtube. It's like having a personal fitness coach that corrects and explains everything you do. Amazing !! Thanks a million times @ATHLEAN-X

Best fitness channel on KZfaq... hands down.
