I don't train legs Jeff.

Narrow stance just doesnt work for me, when i do a narrow stance my heels come off the floor.

​@@jaw9095you can try to increase your ancle mobility, use powerlifting shoes or use something to stand on with your heels. I fixed my ancle mobility and can do very deep highbar squats on flat shoes. Works best for me since I have long femurs. My lowbar is stronger but I need to lean forward and it's harder to get depth for me.

The algorithm failed you brother

Seems like you don’t workout hard enough. Algorithm for sure failed you.

@@LeGiTKnifeZ seems like he doesn't waste enough time on youtube, and since he isn't a begginer, he doesn't watch lifting videos, so it makes sense

My man Jeff been one of the very first people I followed till today since 6 years now when I started. Have a look at his old content it’s pretty interesting

@@M1szS he said “how have I not heard of this guy” clearly sounds like he has enough time..

Forreal, there are so many walking talking Dunning-Kruger-Effects bashing people because their forms aren't 100% perfect. Completely demeaning their efforts and progress because idk they don't squat as deep as possible or whatever. There are reasons why people can't or won't do those things and that doesn't mean their work is for nothing and to be disrespected. I for myself can't squat deeper than 90 degrees because my knee is busted and going deeper will injure me, regardless of the weight. So seeing creators with a lot of reach and credibility mention things like that is very reassuring to me personally and also important for people who are just starting out!

@@OnchiBonI agree with this for sure, but it is important to be strict when it comes to form to prevent injury. I see way too many people sacrificing form for the sole purpose of increasing weight. But just talking about depth I agree with you, range of motion is a big limiting factor and if 90 is all you can do or even less that’s fine

@@timoetjen2207 Definitely, straight up incorrect form must be corrected. Like you said, sacrificing technique to up the load for the ego boost will sooner or later lead to entirely preventable injury. I just wish the public discourse on the topic would consider the nuances between incorrect form and individual ranges of motion more. Very nice change of pace this comment section haha

you look like a kidget are you like 2 feet tall

Agreed, these are more like guidelines, not rules. Even though you should try to stick to them, you don't need to be strict.

Essential! 1RM shot up when I mastered breath-bracing.

Definitely bracing and keeping your lats engaged

Can you explain to me how you do it?​@@DrRussell

@@cernugaming grab bar with hands, inhale to maximum and hold, then tuck head under bar to rest on back, then squeeze with abs to keep thorax and abdomen tight and back straight before lifting weight off pins, hold breath on way down and for first quarter of way back up and slowly exhale once you know you have cleared the rep, before reaching the top. That's what I do at least, and it has boosted my 1 rep max from 70kg (154lb) to 159kg (350lb) at 69kg (152lb) body weight. I'm 40 years old too, which has its issues and benefits.

@@DrRussell This is pretty cool. I will definitely KZfaq and Google more on this. I'm currently on a dead, squat and bench phase so I really want to learn every trick and technique. Tx. Have a good day.

Underrated comment (Assuming the gym being worked out in has them)

Learning how to properly bail is more important imo

😂

Yeah, some of his other shorts are pretty good too, but I think these shorts really let us see the muscles in his legs. Definitely better than wearing pants.

​@@speedboy6776 it does what it needs to do

Yea, he squats real good in them

Almost as short as him💀

Lmao thank God yall styleless ppl exhist, so I can look Amazing all the time

Do you want a gold star

@@krwblue Not for me, maybe for Jeff. I'm super grateful.

How much has your numbers increased after following Jeff's program?

​@@VaneyRio A great reply💯

@@bruvhellnah I started with bar only squats (45 lbs/20 kg). Training 6 days a week with squats on Mondays my PR right now is 150 kg/330 lbs × 4 reps. @80 kg BW. I don't really 1RM but it's estimated at 170. I've obviously tweaked the program a little bit but overall it's a great program. (I rather focused on deadlifts which are my strongest lift at 180kg / 395 lbs × 2 reps. Trust Jeff, he knows his shit.

nippard is way too dogmatic. dr mike is a far better source

​@@hurpaderpp But what do dogs have to do with it?? Jk, I see what you mean but Jeff's dogmatism stems from his research and he does change his mind when new evidence arrises.

@@OnchiBon I love jeff I think he makes great content, just when he says something he always says "this is the best way" etc when it can vary due to everyones unique biomechanics and goals. thats all, and he doesnt always do it either,.

@@hurpaderpp being dogmatic is good when you've got peer reviewed research to back it up. I get that he's a bit too set in his ways, but that's exactly what young men staring out need. A firm, guiding hand in the right direction.

​@@hurpaderpp Sean Nalewanyj is solid too

Jeff is one of the best, I've watched a lot of his videos

Let it out man

Didn't he say it should be a straight line?

​@mk20130470 he said its fine if you slightly go off path, but preferably keep it straight

@highlander6573 exactly, he still says straight is preferred which is in opposition to the original comment

As you get heavier, it does really matter, but for reps it's not the end of the world

@tyrvinodinson9790 do you do curls in a straight path? No, because even tho the weight moves the shortest path doesn't mean it's what is most efficient for your body to move it. The weight will always move forward to avoid your knees and then back towards the hips once past the knee

Do some stretches, the guy who says "stay flexy" has a 10 minute stretching video and doing that has really increased my flexibility

Perfect way to describe him

Is this tip not applicable to the low bar squat?

@@devmaestro2520 probably, but I never tried low bar squat so idk whats optimal or I dont know any helpful cues
