This is one of the most common mistakes that people make when they squat. I break down the 10 most common squat mistakes and show you how to avoid them - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMBhh7iH15qwdp8.html

Jeff is the only guy I trust with clickbait titles for his vids.

Jeff breaking his back for science

Me: Any advice for how to be better off financially? Jeff: Do face pulls

When I started training a few months ago I used this channel to learn proper form and since then the trainers at the local gym have told me multiple times that I have one of the best squat forms that they've seen and they were surprised that a beginner could have such good form. Idk where I'd be without the internet and athlean-x. So thanks Jeff, appreciate all the advice.

ok i’ll remember how to do squats next year when i hit legs

"Be aware of your own Problems." - Jeff Cavaliere. Thats not only great advise for Training and exercise but also for Life in general. Thx Jeff. 👍👏

Who else agrees that he has the best fitness channel

Forgive me Jeff for I have sinned. I have not kept up with my face pulls

0:23 Jeff trying so hard to get his form wrong🤣

Jeff is the only trainer on whom i believe since 2013.My training got so much improved. Thanks jeff

Hello Jeff, I have been following you for the past year, with your help, expertise and incredible workout insight you have truly help me transformed my body, loosing over 40 lbs while adding muscle at 64 years young, yes 64. Also went from a size 40 to 36 pants. So I am contacting you for some advice, just a week ago while lifting an air conditioner I felt a click on my left knee, just had an X Ray and mri performed, which showed a small meniscus lateral tear. I was told since it is small the best solution is to go in and file down the tear but I will to rest for about three weeks. The other option since I never had swelling nor do I feel pain is to leave it alone and try physical therapy. Not sure which route to go, would appreciate your honest professional opinion. Sadly I will put my workouts to a stop until i decide. Again, thanks for putting science back into workout, great videos I am sure have helped millions. All the best, James.

Jeff: gaining gains is actually killing your gains

Vshreds next video ‘The single most biggest mistake when squatting’

Can you PLEASE PLEASE talk about bracing for squats deadlifts or just lifts in general? Like how to properly brace your abs, breathing, ways to get more breath in our system and where to imagine holding the breath for the lift? Really feel it's the only thing from preventing my progress

I have knee pains because of the wrong training with squats. I go to youtube and see , Jeff gives me the answere why i got the pain and how to avoid it. Thx Jeff :)

I literally just recorded my squats today then this is recommended to me.... is the FBI agent assigned to me trying to say something?

Jeff Cavaliere, the only man i would instantly walk through fire for if he claimed it would improve my gains. #JeffIsKing #AthleanX

I feel guilty binge-watching Jeffs videos for free, I need to get some merch just to ease my conscience :) I'm sorry this channel wasn't around 20 years ago when I first entered the gym.. I could have avoided countless mistakes!! Thanks for all the content, Jeff!

Jeff, are u from future, the things in which i am doing mistakes, you are making a video on that the next day😕😕

Your videos are so helpful, clear and informative. I'm a *really* late beginner (early 60s), almost certainly don't have the extent of goals of younger guys, but these videos are so sound, they give me confidence and knowledge to progress safely. Thank you

Dude this is seminar material. You are the truth. I appreciate and absolutely love the comprehensive material! 🤓

Jeff I'm in PTA school and your videos are GOLD. keep it up, it's greatly appreciated !

Put on 10 lbs after frustrated by a plateau since watching Jeff's videos. Dude is the real deal. Appreciate what you do man!

Jeff: "How to squat better= face pull every day" Got it. lol

I have been applying you advice with my workout regimen, and I have noticed that the pain in my lower back has vanished. Now, I am able to perform movements more efficiently and gain better results.

After filming myself I realized I had the forward leaning problem on the upward movement part of the squat. I had two problems with my form: 1. I was positioning the bar too far to the back (see Problem #1 in this video), something that's called low bar squat. 2. I was not aligning my pelvis with my torso (butt was out) before starting the downward movement. Adjusting the bar to be at the "high bar" position and bringing my pelvis in fixed my squat form. Thanks AthleanX and Alan Thrall for the great videos.

Athlean X video a day keeps gains coming right away!

One of my favorite correction videos you’ve ever done. I’m so guilty of this! I never even considered my scapular contraction. I do pause reps because it makes me more cognizant of keeping my hips tight to avoid knee valgus. Thanks, Jeff!

Jeff owes me money!! All his "Stop doing this" videos are inspired by my moves at the Gym!!!!

You are coming with a backup solution in every video you post, I have my ankle problem, I move and I lose balance, in this video you come with the solution for it. You are something else, thank you Jeff. Great work, I really appreciate every advice you give.

Dude! Your ability to explain this stuff clearly is awesome and extremely useful. I find myself watching these videos in my spare time just to be reminded of the nuances that lead to excellent workouts. I’m a beginner at only 145 pounds, but the amount of strength gains I’ve been able to make has been incredible since I’ve started following your videos. Quality over quantity, and your videos are amazing in both regards. Thanks for all the help!

What is up with the downvotes, are those from other fitness content creators?

Jeff, Your Ankle mobility series has really helped me a lot. I have been in chronic pain for nearly a year. I was a student with no healthcare benefits to go to a physical therapist. Just watching your videos and repeating it consecutively for nearly a month helped me recover from ankle pain. You and your informative videos have been a blessing. Thank you. Keep doing what you do.

THE BEST exercise videos on the internet. Can anyone honestly disagree? If so, please explain. Big up, Mr. Cavalier, all of the thanks to you for your clarity and commitment. 🙏💜

I do that when it get heavy thank for making me realize my mistakes 😥

Got intense back pain from squatting incorrectlt. Fixed my form on the bench press finally, now gotta fix my form on the squat.

This video helped my squat immensely. I couldn’t figure out why I kept driving forward, it was all in my placement and not squeezing my back properly. Thanks man!

Jeff sacrificed his impeccable form for our understanding 😢😭😭😭 Tnx Jeff

I could feel that forward lurch going on with my last leg day.

This is one of the most beneficial videos I've seen. Thank you, I see my own problem and its really an easy fix.

How can 98 people dislike any thing about this video? What’s wrong with it? The Mans speaking great sense and trying to help you in it!

For those about to train: WE SALUTE YOU!

Realest KZfaqr ever

Really working on my squat, I do them exactly like how Jeff was doing them “wrong” and it’s hard to fix😭😭 sometimes I just do the smith machine bc I’m scared of gym people judging me but I need to woman up and practice on the rack thx Jeff ur helpful

Guys and gals, I've been squatting and powerlifting for 30 years. Recently, I've gone to KZfaq and all I see is these steroided up mass monsters that tell u how to train. For the natural lifter PLEASE avoid these guys. This is one of the most concise and intelligent conversation I've seen on the web. This natural dude knows of what he speaks. And if I had him training me I would have eclipsed a 600lb squat. All the problems he spoke of I had, and it took me forever to fiqure it out on my own. Great training video

Satisfaction when video has a click bait title but contains good information and I learn something new.

This video is epic. Priceless. Jeff is the best on YT at mechanics

Who else got leg day today. Definitely going to work on this! Thanks!

Jeff you are the man. I am a Major in the Army and you're instruction needs to be brought to soldiers and the military. I have seen SO MANY young soldiers with poor mechanics that lead to injuries. Keep doing what you're doing brother!

Ok jeff, i know ur like the godfather of fitness on KZfaq but please, Dorsiflexion is when you move the tip of your foot close to the shin not the other way around, that does not happen in a squat. Your foot is grounded all the way. Other than that, incredible video content, the way you delivered the point is flawless, saluted.

Who dislikes these????? Your getting a free personal trainer who's a physical therapist!?

Right before i hit legs.. HOW DO YOU KNOW.

Wow, just when I think he can't get any better he "raises the bar again" . Just a amazing gift for us all. My daughter has a form of MS called CMT . She constantly wants to workout but has to be very careful with demilanting neuropathy. I am so happy a licensed therapist like Jeff is dominating you tube..I can't thank you enough...keep up the great work!!!

This fella knows his stuff! Only thing he forgot to mention in this clip is bearhug squats with a sandbag. A great auxillerie exercise to go with regular squats if you are having problems keeping your back straight. It's very hard to do bear hug sandbag squats with a rounded back!

when he said scapula i knew he was going to bring up face pulls

Thank you for doing this. I’ve incorporated some of these things and I’ve been able to bench despite my old shoulder injuries.l, and squat despite old lower back disk injuries. Respect.

It is my dream to train in such a beautifully equipped gym..very unlike the huge commercial ones....the flooring is to die for.....somedayyyy...

I know no one that is more consistent then this brother

Jeff I love you. Moving the pelvis and chest as one is a whole new beautiful world of functionality. Thanks bro!

6:27 ghosts man!

Thank you for making this Channel and these videos. I was in a bad motorcycle accident and dislocated my right shoulder and had my right foot twisted off at the ankle and surgically reattached. I was lucky enough not to have any metal hardware. I've made more progress over the past 6 months than I have the past 6 years.

Been squating since 83'. Watched Jeff's vids and now I've overcome the plateau I hit in 83.

I know for a fact I'm doing exactly this type of squat error. I'm trying to fix it, I think my body just wants to move that way.

I got the habit of filming my bigger lifts a fe months ago and really helped me. Including the problem shown in this video

My wife and I like the concept of finishing your workout with the scapular / high back pull. My wife is the founder & creator of the vertical method; posture related functional training and I respect and appreciate the skill set of Mr. Cavalier.

Hi Jeff. I recently filmed my squat and it is EXACTLY like your bad form example. I really appreciate this video and am excited to make alterations to improve my form.

Are those Kobe's on your feet nice kicks

OMG! I JUST SQUATTED TODAY, YOU LEGEND, OMG READ MY MIND BROOOOO. I ONLY SQAUT 6 TIMES A WEEK AS WELL, YOU LITERAL PSYCHIC/GOD. OMG. OMG. OMG. Literally every comment on this channel.

This finally helped me solve my squat problem! Literally saved me

i've worked out for decades and never had the importance of keeping focus on a tightened scapula during the squat emphasized as you do here. It explains a lot about how many gains I've missed despite the hard work put in at the gym.

*NEVER SKIP LEG DAY*

I agree 100% I was injured on my lower back 3 months ago as I had bad pose. Jeff, thanks for speaking about this.

Thanks Jeff. I think that was the problem with my lower back. Going lower weight to work on form. God be with you, my friend!

I'm a physicist trying to get fit and I absolute love your videos. Lots of love from Colombia.

Brilliant stuff as always. Keep up the good work.

HEY JEFF, can we get a Max Gains video for delts and traps?

Jeff you are the best trainer.out there explaining things so well. When ever I meet someone at the gym with a problem or nagging injury I tell them to visit Jeff.

Jeff you’re the best! Thank you for all the positive vibe and great advices you give

I literally started to laugh like crazy cus thats exactly how i squat xDDDD

Best trainer on earth💪

I use to be terrible squatter. I had problems with my heels not staying on the ground and not using my hips on the descent and on the ascent. Recently I'm been raising my chest to the ceiling as I ascend which has helped even more. As much as you think you know, you will always learn more. Something small that makes a big difference.

you had me at "stop squatting", thanks for this great advice.

who are the people that dislike these videos?

For a second I thought Jeff was telling us to stop squatting

Thank you Jeff ... And AthleanX team... U guys clear the mist.... Call out BS .. You are great... Mad respect and gratitude

You forgot to link the ankle mobility video. Love your channel and thank you for teaching us how to lift the RIGHT way!

Clarence Kennedy has entered the chat.

Mark rippetoe says the squat is primarily a hip movement. Whom to believe?

I just filmed myself and holy shit you're right the bars moving in a curvy path, no straight up and down movement. I was wondering why my lower back was aching. Jeff you're a live saver!

I simple observation on the squat is that glutes are not firing as apposed to strengthening mid to upper back as a solution, keeping tight is key but all proper muscles should be firing. The glutes are the main muscle on the extend end of the movement

I wonder...would using the Smith machine help with keeping my form strict?

New conspiracy: Jeff uses time travel. He has not aged in 10 years And come on, who has proof that he has parents in the 21st century?

Im so glad he did this video. Ive struggled with squats forever

every since joining the Army I have found a huge desire for improving my physical health. I want to look like you one day Jeff! love this channel.
