I have buttwink above parallel, fuckin long road ahead for me

But I really like injuries though.

This is the return of Omer Surfclam. First really in depth video in awhile. You ever wonder how low you should squat? The answer "go with what's comfortable" is too basic and does not enough context. In this video, I talk ALL about squat depth, what limits you and what you can do about that dreaded butt wink. Give the video a like and a share if you found it useful. Which of you fuckers is up now at 2AM? The shoes I wear in the video are the Position USA 2.0, they right now have a Black Friday sale (lasting 3 days). You can grab 'em cheap @ bit.ly/Position_Omar Also on Raskol Apparel we just launched our MASSIVE Black Friday Sale, check it out at raskolapparel.com/ while items are still in stock!

Im the biggest perfectionist when it comes down to compound lifts for my safety, technique and more efficiet gains, ect.. and after 3years of DAILY educating myself and watching the same videos about specific lifts, you still teach me something new great mentor Omar. You are the greatest

Man, im so greatful for all of the free info, i know this is an old one but its great just browsing through wondering why and boom you come across a small detail you dont think about. Nice refresher

Awesome video as always Omar!

Hey Omar just wanted to say you have really helped me out with my squats really appreciate it. you are by far the most informative chanel out there. keep it up

Omar, I just found your channel a few weeks ago and honestly you are the most truthful and dedicated fitness channel on this website. I love the advice you give out and you're definitely someone who I look up to in the fitness industry. Thanks for all of the honest advice, bro, and keep up the awesome content!

Another great video Omar with lessons I can definitely take away and try in the gym, keep it up dude.

GREAT video! You addressed quite a few issues that people need to understand

Definitely need this! Every minute was golden info, thanks Omar!

Am I the only one who couldn't see any difference between the two guys squatting in the thumbnail?

Such a valuable video. Good shit omar

Great video! Very informative as always!

Awesome video Omar! ✊🏾

Omar u are the best to watch and learn off damn solid content

Awesome video! Covers a ton of those questions we all have. Thanks dude!

Your videos are so efficient. The amount of value added content in this video is pretty close to 100%. You don't waste much of our time on useless BS and sneaky marketing scams. Thank you.

Another great vid Omar.....very consistent with what a professional physiotherapist told me at a Sports rehab clinic.

Really glad I found your videos. I have really bad ankle flexibility, and through watching videos on KZfaq, thought that I was stuck squatting with either special shoes or plates beneath my heels. (Currently on a deployment, so stuck using plates, shoes are waiting for me back home.) I had no idea that I'd be able to correct the issue. Thanks for all that you do, you're an inspiration, and really give me hope to be a strong power lifter.

Omar love your consistency

Great vid man, keep em coming!

One of the best videos covering this topic, thanks Omar. Your material has been very helpful. Shout outs from Etobicoke.

awesome vid dude! Educational as always. Big fan of your vids epecially providing good teaching points to help us improve.

LOVED IT, OMAR! Great Tutorial my friend! I will begin inculcating many of your recommendations. Good Job, Man!

Thanks Omar, your my favourite fitness channel always grinding to help us out.

You are the best! I could listen to you talk for hours. So much knowledge and passion! Would love to see you and Brett Contreres do an in depth video on the glutes and strengthening them. I've really been focused on glute activation prior to my lifts and it's helped so much. I'm currently following the "5/3/1" strength training plan and incorporating glute activation/mobility makes the world of a difference in performance!!

Excellent video. This has already made a huge difference not only in my squat but my overall back pain has decreased significantly.

Love these informational videos, Omar! Learning a lot from you (trying to master my technique).

Just about to go to sleep after mini Omar-athon but wanting to watch just one more video then this pops up! Praise thee king no calves 🙌

Awesome video dude - I've been having a lot of tightness the day after squats/deadlifts lately and going through yours and other people's videos regarding squats/deads I've realised my form wasn't as good as I thought it was. This was extremely informative man, as usual, thanks for the info.

Thank you for this. I enjoyed the information you shared. Great video

Omar, was just doing Squats following Fitonomy app instructions and came to watch this video which has helped me to better understand the positions. Thanks

delivering like always my man, may the calves be with you

One more amazing video in the book, thank you Omar!

Your content is a blessing. I have pretty bad problems with my right hip (tight flexor, inactive underdeveloped glute) and both shoulders (left shows signs of impingement, right one does it too, but it also seems like my right scap is floating somewhere where it doesn't belong which makes it very painful to rack the bar on my back or press in general.) I've been working on all those issues with the help of your videos alongside with content from K-Star, Vinnie etc. Always happy about more.

YASSSSSS OMAR! I love these videos!

Thanks for the information, your channel is badass.

Hell yes! Love these informative videos!

Good vid Mate!

Something I asked you not so long ago on instagram! Thank you for this video Omar, Lifting education at its best!

In my humble opinion this is the best squat video available in youtube. In fact, Omar has the best fitness channel (obviously not taking in consideration Broscience, that guy it's another level hehe). I want to congratulate you Omar (if you ever read this) for the excellent content of your channel. You always give us the most honest information possible, cutting out al the bullshit and nonsense so common in the industry. Keep up with the good work. Greetings from Uruguay man.

high bar master race checking in

Great video. Thanks for the in depth explanation

hey Omar. My favorite video you have ever posted. Great helpful stuff. Im having problems with my squat morning at around 265 pounds. This should help

Brilliant video Omar! Really helpful thank you 😄

I needed this so bad...thanks bro!

You da man. I loves you. Thank you so much really for the content of this video. It not only educates me but also motivates me! You really fixed my squat (I'm still working on it of course can never be perfect!). I revisit your squat videos all the time and I also film myself squat and deadlift. It all started watching you and jazmine's fix your squat videos (started filming my squats and fixing my form). Can't thank you enough ❤️ Jules from Melbourne, Australia

Ugh I cannot find the video where you talk about foam rolling the back of the obliques up into the lats to increase squat depth but I wanted to tell ya I did it and instantly saw a HUGE improvement. I've been doing it ever since and it has really elevated my leg training experience. So thanks for putting out such fantastic content!

Thanks for the in depth video and all of that useful information! 👌🏼👌🏼

Damn solid vid Omar

awesome informative video man.

Definitely would love to see more videos on SI and herniation stuff. Maybe tips for getting back into lifting heavy after one of these injuries. Thanks Omar!

Omar showing off that ballin' OH squat mobility at 4:35... Great work man.

Excellent vid!

awesome content omar thankyou

Hey Omar, just wanted to say that I've been following Jazmine for a while and found out about you through her.(you guys are great together) Also I just recently started doing strength training again and I havent found any other place where squats, deadlifts, bench press..are explained so in detail so thank you very much. I am determined to perfect these movements and your videos are super helpful. :) You're the best. God bless.

This video is awesome, thank you!

Great content! Great info! Definitely wanna see more like shoulder mobility (other stuff) if you don't have that on your channel already, this vid is going in a " Workout information" playlist on my channel, peaceee!

Great video!

Great video! Really informative and well put together. You did a pretty good job at forming a concise video with material from a few different sources. It's nice to see that the mindset is slowly changing and that physiologists, doctors and physioterapists are getting to educate public. The whole "ass to grass" thing is misunderstood. So many people with hip impingement and LBP trying to jam themselves down into a whole they are not supposed, or ready, to be at.

Thanks for the vid man. Tried squatting deeper but it just ended in SI pain for weeks. Fired up to get back at it and work on my form!

Hey Omar isbuff, can you suggest some tips to getting back into squats after a disc herniation? Love the content. Keep it up

This is so spot on.

Great vid, this is a problem that I actually still have and I am working to solve it.

From a physical therapist's point of view i love your videos Omar!

Looking into new shoes and checking out the Position brand.

Great video. You might have fixed my hip problem

Awesome vid! Most don't mention how important the activation of the glutes is for squats and other exercises

Do you still have some old squatting videos that you're able to share? Would love to see your older squats and see how far you've really come!

Great video. Thanks Omar..

Awesome vid omar! one of the things i have really struggled with is squats, i have terrible hip mobility to the point i have pretty much skipped so many leg days. I had a real wake up call yesterday, did a proper leg day routine and found i can bench alot more than i can squat -.-

another great informative video, always seems like when im having trouble with something in my workouts you post a video about how to fix it! ahaha

Very nice video Omar! like

Great content as always! Hey Omar can you make a video talking about squats and knee pain? Why would one have knee pain when squatting?

You've got some pretty good content, and I would say that you're one of the best fitness KZfaqrs out there... but how many videos do you have to make on squatting?

That beard doe keep grinding brother Omar!

Great video! Thank you!

amazing video! Appreciate it

All of the information in your videos help so much! Thank you sooo much for the ''scientific'' approach #knowledgeispower

I'd love to see a video on disc herniation and/or SI issues.

You're the best dude!

very detailed, thank you!

dope info bro cheers

I'm gonna start squatting today, I'm glad that I watched this video. I saved myself a trip to snap city.

My brotha my brotha!! We made it!

Hey Omar, great video and some excellent details there! Got a question for you about an injury I gathered 2 weeks ago as to what may have caused it. I do barefoot squats and have good range so I am able to go below parallel. I was on my last set aiming for 6 reps and I did not increase the load from the previous set. All was going well but on my 5th rep, as soon as I started the concentric portion, getting out of the hole, I felt a sharp pain around my left hip; I had to drop the bar and abort the workout. It resulted in a slight tear of on my my left hip flexors so now I'm completely off most leg workouts for 6 weeks. It would be good to at least know what may have been the reason for this because I am going to be very conscious hitting squats again not knowing what I may have done wrong! Thanks!

top notch content, really.

My fav squat is half reps

Awesome video, Thanks.

my dad Omar always keeping me safe :)

Very informative Omar! Please do upload videos on disk herniation Cheers!

This is super helpful. Not just for me, but also allows me to help inform some friends why they may be in pain when they squat. Thanks for all the informative content! I have a question. When buying knee sleeves, how should I determine the size I need?

Jeez..... I think I have finally figured out why i have been getting lower back pain after squats, Thanks Omar!

nice work young man. digging that shirt?

This was an excellent video!! I think one of my new favourites. Thank you about the goblet squat lesson! I notice a lot of guys are so afraid to do it, but it is actually really good to improve the squat. My bf who is a personal trainer talked about this too and I did it and found a MASSIVE difference in my bar squat form! P.S. I love you and Jaz!

This vid actually helped a shit ton

Diggin' the beard, broski

Hey Omar, can you please do a video on wrist injuries and wrist health? I feel like it is common enough to warrant a video. I started working out in June and I just injured my left wrist. It sucks... Maybe you could even touch on things like wrist wraps? Anyways, love your videos, you motivated me to workout! Thanks Omar!

more videos like this! love it! hey do you know of walking in a bit of an elevated heel would mess with gait and cause knee issues? read they were good for standing all day on hard floors (costco) but left knee has been feeling extra poppy and idk if it's related.
