I'm struggling to squat at the moment, always leaning forward on the ascent. Hoping these techniques will help me out. Thank you for such an informative video!

This is literally everything I do with my clients. Great video man,

My squat is almost as bad as your exaggerated example, basically looking at the floor. I'm a 25 y/o male who should be in my prime. I was going to start a beginner workout routine, but i need to fix my form first. I'll get that equipment and get at it. I'll update you in a few weeks with my progress. Thanks Jason Bourne!

Very informative video, I am a personal trainer too and I see that a lot with my clients. I think your channel deserves more attention, your content is awesome, keep it up!

My whole posture feels infinitely better after just 10 overhead squats. I will definitely do these a few times a week, thanks so much!

omg literally just being elevated on 2 10 lbs plates fixed my excessive forward lean and it feels so much better squatting and i feel alot stronger! cant wait to do this is the gym tmrw while squatting

Best video I've seen how to help with the squat

Thank you Sir. This is the best explanation and correction video for people who struggle to do squats. Thank you for not assuming the problem is deep squats but helping me know how to get proper form by activating different muscles for a basic squat.

This is such an amazing and informative video. Thank you foe taking the time to make this. I’ve been struggling with imbalance for decades.

I am going to try this for a few months. I have excessive forward lean.

This is absolutely amazing I am only 19 years old but I gave birth when I was 17 and honestly it messed my body up, I started working out recently and my husband mentioned how I need to straighten my back when I'm doing squats and I was super confused I didn't know I was leaning so far forward! It literally felt impossible to do an actual squat without leaning. This video is helping a ton ❤ thank you!!!

nice, will try this out. When I started with just the barbell my partner told me I was bending too far so then I fell backward when I tried to correct it and after that I got too scared to try again and started using the smith machine. I don't want to rely on the smith machine, I think this is exactly what I need to fix it.

This is amazing. Keep going.

Wow thanks so much for this. I've been trying to fix my squat for weeks bc im starting to get knee pain. This fixed it immediately!!

Thank you so much for your effort sir, it worked greatly.

I was a new year new me guy and joined the gym at the beginning of January. I’m 6’6 and weight 400 pounds. Primary focus is the big three with optional isolated muscle exercises to strengthen the muscles needed. My squat and DL forms are terrible. Hoping this helps with what I need, which is excessive leaning forward with squats and only being able to do stiff leg deadlift, unable to get my hips below my shoulders to lift. Thank you for the information and I can’t wait to put it to practice.

Worked incredibly well

This is great! I've just started working out and have realised I have extreme tightness in my lower body... to the point where I can't do a correct body-weight squat without leaning forward so much that my knees bend past my toes. If I try to squat correctly, I just fall over on my butt! I will start to incorporate these stretches and techniques into my daily routine. Unfortunately, I don't have a foam roller. I have a lacrosse ball, however, and have been using that to stimulate "knots" and "soreness" in my legs and glutes. Would such a ball be an adequate replacement for a foam roller?

This was very well explained! Can you do one for upper crossed syndrome?

Very informative.

So putting the weights under my feet fixed my forward lean, what should I do now to fix it?

Its funny because i know all this & have the answers in my nasm Ces book. But aometimes you need to hear it from someone else as a reminder. I thought it was my hips but I elevated my heels & immediately fixed my forward lean dramatically

When I do the 2 lower calf exercises I don’t feel any stretch in my lower calf or achilles, I feel like the top of my foot/ankle is getting crushed and doesn’t allow me to bend my leg forward any further. Any solution for this?

Thanks mate

dude! thank you!

very informatife, one of the best videos about this topic. Is it okay to strenghten erector spinae by doing back extensions on machine?

Such a useful video. So much detail. Have a lot of postural issues, going to have to test and diagnose which is the cause of my issues cause I lean forward when I squat. I know I have adaptive shortening in my hip flexors. My calves are tight. And my lower back caves in. Also have knocked knees and duck feet. Great video! Thanks for the info.

thanks!

This is such a great video! Thank-you so much for the information. This may be a dumb question, but is this routine something that will always be required, or once I have achieved good squat form can I do it less often/not at all?

Hey there! Thanks for the video!! Is it possible to permanently fix the foot and ankle complex problem? Or is elevating them the only solution?

Awesome! But my issue is with the ankle mobility that you mentioned first. How can I fix this?

does this need to be done any time during the day or directly before squats

I only forward lean when maxing out, or doing realy heavy weight. Should I do the same stuff to fix it?

What about the hamstrings? Stretch or streght?

Hi man, this may not be related to the video, but you seem like a guy who knows there body. I was just wondering if you know anything about patellar tendinitis and how I could overcome it.

Thanks for the tips! When woukd I do the stretches and exercises? Before lifting, after, or a different time?

Foam can be very painful.

Hi I found this video very informative, I have an excessive forward lean and already having joint issues on my hips, is there any way to alleviate that so that I can work on this?

Hi thanks for the video just started doing these stretches and would u recommend a softer (like the one u have) or a harder foam roller for these stretches and exercises

Is it supposed to hurt?

Just commenting for video traction.

Hi, thank you for the video! Question for you. In regards to the test you demonstrated, how deep should we squat? I noticed that you don't go to parallel. Thanks

How long do I do each stage for

This guy has screen presence

So is a slight forward lean okay? I’ve always been told your torso has to be straight up and down and I’ve been trying to get it there for years but I can’t

using too much equipments, how can i fix this in home without equipment?

Would this be the same for someone with a curved spine?

How long should I follow this?

Bro i don’t understand anything youre talking about in the third minute lol. Can you please just give a visual example? I don’t know anything about those muscles or where to roll them?

what if we don't have a foam roller ?

Yeah get that hyperextension injury instead!

There’s literally nothing wrong with forward lean. Especially with low bar back squat. With this logic the deadlift would be incorrect form.

too much work for one thing

Complete nonsense
