Stan, then MOOOVEMENT, then GRIIIP, THEN ARM WRESTLING THEN . . .

Does this make anyone else want to immediately go out and squat!?

Juji: I've had knee problems up until past year and they're still achy sometimes. Stan: *that's great*

little girl coming out as stan was doing his russian impersonation and dropping the f bomb was a good start to the video.

It's good that Stan is promoting this as an OPTION instead of the ONLY way to squat

Stan is so well spoken. Would make a great salesman. He could prob even sell me a cooler within a cooler.

11:09 "Big butts are good things" This is truely a man of infinite wisdom

Equally as important to what Stan offered Juji in this video was Juji's willingness to learn and change, even despite being an incredibly strong guy and experienced squatter. There are plenty of dudes who can't squat 135 correctly and won't take a piece of advice. Speaks volumes about the mentality you should have if you want to improve. Kudos Juji!

I can’t stop watching this video. No joke, this has allowed me to “squat” again. Thank you my bald brother

He talks about strength like a youth pastor does forgiveness. Gently

You know you need to listen when Tom doesn't say shit for the first 9 minutes of the video.

I love how respectful he is when suggesting changes! What a great example of a human!

I use this exact squatting technique when I take a dump in public bathrooms.

Lebron looked like he was warming up for a twerking contest.

Tom is like the Stan Lee of fitness now - bringing all the characters together to create KZfaq Fitness Creative Universe.

This is exactly what mark teaches in his book. Senior year of highschool I read the entire thing and never thought of squatting any other way besides this. Low bar = stability. And when you have hip drive it just feels so much more powerful

Seriously probably one of the most educational videos if watched for squat. Thank you Juji and Tom for doing this.

When Stan talks I listen. He's a wealth of knowledge and I've learned a ton from him. Love this collab Juji!

Dropped the f bomb just seconds after the little girl walks in... lol

I immediately had to go to the gym. These cues just fixed my squat. I’m so dam happy.

Damn, just as I'm relearning my squats this pops up. Your timing is impecable Tom!

Why did it blow my mind when he got up from sitting

Wow, this collab is so cool. A totally different side in terms of pacing and jokes. Never thought you guys and Stan would fit so well.

Watched this video a week ago and tried my pr squat with this technique and I beat my pr. 320 to 335 just from changing to this technique. Great video

Stan is one of the most intelligent lifters I've ever encounters. I would have paid for this video! I've changed my squatting to this style as well and it has saved my knees and back!

when that girl came out and Stan swore ahahaha

I've listened to Mark Rippetoe say the words "hiip drahhhve" way too many times and now I will never hear those words the same again.

I come back to this video every now and then. I still think this is one of the most underrated squat videos on KZfaq. Great stuff.

This is great advice. Watched and went and tried. OMGGGGGGGG what a change!

That lebron squat lmfao! “Pro athlete” with top notch “trainers”

Tom has literally created the youtube fitness multiverse :D

Wow, this is the best video on squat technique I've seen... Thank you so much! Wish I could like it a thousand times.

This video just changed my life. No bullshit. I was ready to give up squatting due to knee pain- I was having trouble bending down and getting into my car. I tried this today after a six week break from squatting and it felt amazing. Thank you Stan Efferding!

Just watching this I felt my squat getting stronger.

1:28 - Saw a little girl stealing marchandise. It is ABnormal

Man!!! I just wanna thank both of you for this video. I thought I was either gonna have this pain in my knee the rest of my life or blow it out. Wow. Simple low bar position changed my life. Can’t say thanks enough!

It all makes a lot of sense. At first I was thinking the video would be much longer than necessary, but I feel like there was so much good info here. Great video, I can't wait for squat day to try this out!

0:26 that's what we call "perfect timing"

I love how Juji is legit just taking in all the information and trying to understand himself the whole video. Its like you can see his mind working through his face :D The intake of knowledge is too real! Loved the video and I've always been scared of squatting because of lower back problems and I think this initial stance with a tight core is the way forward for me. Soo excited to go hit legs tomorrow, and I'm never excited for legs LOL Keep it up Guys

4:56 - I have Starting Strength and followed Rip's approach. Until the standing from a seated chair maneuver, I didn't get it. Thanks for the light bulb Stan.

After ACL surgery many years ago, I found that squatting this same way reduced knee pain significantly. I'm very glad to hear that this is approved by a pro .

My god I just realized this trainer guy at my gym like 5 years ago was trying to tell me this

Mark Rippetoe: Hip drive. People: Oh no, that's a goodmorning, your si joint aaaaaaahhhhggg!! Stan Efferding: Quotes mark Rippetoe. People: So insightful, I'm gonna have to try this!

Thank you for putting this together! I've avoided squats for years and have just started up again in the last couple of months. I'm really trying to work on getting my form right and getting it programmed into muscle memory. I've worried about my knees a lot. I did the movement with the video right here and it feels a lot more natural. I'm excited to go try it out. I'm a long way off from any major success like you guys, but I really appreciate the help. I want to work my lower body and just haven't had the confidence or knowledge really before other than some cursory stuff from back in high school. So thank you. Hoping to have a better future than I'd resigned myself to.

this is the best video on squatting online now. wow ty Stan....keep it coming please..

This is how my power lifting coach taught me to squat when i was in high school. it feels odd to have the weight lower on your back but i definitely saw improvements in my lifts when i got use to it. i then had to hear all my adult life how i squat improperly lol. glad to finally have some validation. looking good juji, love you tom, keep being real my guys.

some of the best instruction i've received. so good, i cam back months later for another helping. great vid

Thank all of you guys so much! I’ve had such bad knee pain in my left knee for yearsss. First time I did this and NO knee pain, none. I can’t thank you enough for this video. 👍👍👍

Man I gotta try this out I hate squatting because of my knees this could be technique I needed.

I love Juji such a humble human being and must of all teachable. Keep it up.

This is the best squat video on KZfaq! Watched it couple of years ago my squat was never the same. More weight, never had pain in my knees, lower back. You instantly feel you have the stability in the lowest position.

Switching to low-bar squat changed everything for me. I love leg-days now, thanks to you guys. Much appreciated!

"You own the hole" Yep, that's why I train too.

Stand is easily my favourite guest in a very long time. He seems so genuine, helpful and knowledgeable. That's a winning combo!

I know this video is old now, but yeah damn I just had to say, such a good one; really glad I finally checked it out. Stan the man, laying it down there. I learned to squat from Starting Strength too, but yeah there are always, always new things to pick up when hearing such knowledgeable, experienced people coach. Excellent stuff guys.

I just wanna say you guys keep it real and keep it fresh,Even know I don’t body build or work out much I find your content entertaining and informative and for that purpose If I ever get into lifting and working out more I will be definitely be looking into more of your videos and the wonderful information and content you present to us viewers!!!Thanks Juji&Tom as well as flour fabulous guests of the channel💪🏻

Art & science of powerlifting! I really like Stan's approach to the matter!

Stan looks super healthy for his age, theres no denying he knows what he's talking about.

Great video. I need to watch this again before squat day. I also love the kiddo climbing on the rack. :)

I could not have found this video at a better time: I have been feeling pain in my knees lately during squats at the higher weights in a 5x5 program. I first heard the principle of loading the hips from Kelly Starrett’s BASL, but this video does an amazing job of queuing the movement with the “get out of a chair” idea, as well as demonstrating the scapula positioning with the low bar hold. So excited to start patterning this technique and hopefully take some of the load off of my knees. Thank you guys!

At 5:00 as he gets up off the bench, man his back is humongous.

I began squatting like this recently sort of on accident. I wasn’t even sure if it was good form or not but felt much more power and stability and my knees weren’t nearly as sore afterwards. This is confirming, great video! Tons of help and insight.

Yo I appreciate this video so much my knees usually kill me during legs but changing up my form just a little has made a world of difference thanks guys much appreciation

these videos are a goldmine of information. It's seriously a huge service you are doing us all

This video really encouraged me , after 25 years of experience that I can still learn and change my form and beliefs , that flexibility of the mind will keep me squatting in the next phase of my life .

It's pronounced "Hip draaaaaaahve" - Copyright M Rippetoe

Juji you rock. I'm about to start squatting. So glad I found this. And thanks to old mate sharing this info wit you

This helped me more than all the videos combined about right squat and its so easy to understand that guy deserves a freaking medal man... omg this was sso helpfull

Fantastic! Funnily enough after 35 years of squatting I changed my technique in exactly the same way and I agree. No more knee problems. When you are 20 you might not notice this, but when you get to 50 it’s a different ballgame and your joints will thank you. Neuromuscular education 👍

This changed my squad completely and made me fall in love with this exercise again, just wow

Wow. Stan's analogy of a compression spring in relation to the core during a squat was phenomenal. I too have not felt that tension in a squat, but I never thought I was doing anything wrong with my form either. I am going to give this a try tonight!

Thank you for sharing this !!

I always thought I was crazy squatting like this. No one else at the gym did this. I learned it from starting strength.

I squat like this because it’s the most comfortable for me and I feel stronger. When someone tells me to keep my chest up and knees out I end up arching my back and get low back pain. I’m glad I came across this video so I can keep doing it the way that feels best.

Wow this is amazing! I REALLY appreciate you making this video!

Glad to see someone actually explaining lowbar the way it works. I've always known that's it's basically a standing legpress, but just hearing him say that and explain it is reassuring... 167BW 5"10 135x5 225x5 275x5 315x5 365x2 lowbar squatting

I love the way Stan talks, the way he formulates sentences is absolutely eloquent

I've been squatting, low bar, for a bit over a year, and I always felt like I was doing it wrong. Now I see I've been fighting against what was naturally correct. Thank you.

I am very thankful for seeing this video. It has definitely changed my perspective in back squatting. 🙏

This is greatly informative! Thank you! I’m going to try this

Hands down the best squat tutorial ever

DAMN, he is a good teacher! Lot of great ques! 😊👌

Yo this video gives me MOTIVATION to SQUAT 💪🏾💯, can’t wait to hit the gym tomorrow and try this technique, thank you so much for sharing this video

Great advice, going to try this method next time

This is probably the greatest squat video I have ever watched 🤗😼💪✌

I haven’t squated over 3 plates yet, using this technique I’m damn sure it’ll get me pass that 💯💪🏾

OUTSTANDING VIDEO! DEFINITELY GONNA TRY THIS! THANK YOU 🏋️‍♂️

Love this video! . I figured this out for myself over five years ago when I was having issues with my knees .

Great video guys, best part is Stan dropping the F bomb at .29 while the little girl walks in LOL

22, lifting for 4 years now. THANKYOU, this is gonna keep me out of a wheelchair stg. Thought I just had bad knees and my squats were weak for my weight. This helps me recruit my kardashian esq. ass to squat instead of loading my knees up! Got some flat duck feet which I guess made squatting weird. This helped me hit depth and improved my squat immediately. ✊🏼

This is a master class and free! Good job Stan 👍

Going to try this tomorrow - thank you!!!

I find it incredible that after all these years, no one has noticed or bothered how teach Jon the quintessential power lifting squat, the lowbar squat. He is gonna be repping 600 in no time now.

This posture seems to turn the squat into a bit more into a deadlift-type muscle recruitment, but I gotta say this guy is making a lot of sense- especially with the standing from a seated position cue.

I love these tips. That is how I had to teach myself to squat comfortably and I thought I was doing it wrong because it was contradicting everything I heard. Listen to your body!

Thanks Tom and juji for this video. This will help me dramatically !!

This is how I learned to squat haven’t had any sort of pains in my knees

I’ve been practicing this form since this video came out. Works like a charm! No more knee pains on leg days

Thank you for this video, absolutely brilliant advice, make sense, will give this technique a try for sure.

This is a GREAT video. One of the best ever on squat form
