Isn't the wrist bent a natural result of limited shoulder mobility? For those that have more range of motion on the lateral plain, a more neutral wrist is achievable and advisable, no?

Thanks Matt for your great videos. I have an idea for a video: core bracing in the squat. How do you do it and how do you quantify it? It’s something I still don’t think I’ve mastered it and I often wonder what coaches mean when they say the core isn’t tight enough. Like, how do you know? How can you tell it’s not tight enough? Are there tells that let you know core isn’t “braced enough”?

Take a deep breath (Valsalva) first and you'll have a much easier time creating extra-abdominal pressure down there. If you need more, wear a belt. In terms of whether it's enough - do you feel any pain, discomfort, or instability? If so, perhaps wear a belt. If not, and you're uninjured, perhaps proceed without a belt. But always Valsalva.

Good video as always matt and I love your content, but it was hard for me to follow along and some ppl might think the samething without you actually showing us how to do it under the bar as you're explaining it. So what I think would make this video even better is you voicing over how you're doing it under the bar. Thanks for yhe great video :)

I completely agree with 100% of what you have said, however, I did this for a few years before having an accident. The bar accidentally rolled down my back during a set and snapped my radius. I now have a 7” rod in my arm and 7 screws. While I believe it is the best position to squat, the juice is not worth the squeeze.

Question for future video: what are your thoughts on training without a set program/training with a more loose idea of sets/reps/weights? Is there any merit to this way of training or does everyone "have to" adhere to a program in order to keep progressing?
@hookoffthejab1
@hookoffthejab1 2 жыл бұрын
I'm certainly not as knowledgeable or as experienced as Matt but my 2 cents is that the only benefit is longevity. Most people don't want to adhere to a strict training regimen year round and just want to lift weights. I think this is why most people don't make much progress despite training for years, because we'd rather just do it the easy way.

Hey Matt I have a question. How can you get increase your work capacity and hypertrophy? I usually tend to gas out, and fatigue in the last or penultimate set leading to form break down. Example, doing a set of 8x4 on bench. The first two sets are relatively easy but I tend to fatigue in set 3, don’t meet the quota for reps I set myself and have to lower the weight. What can I do?

Hey Matt love your videos. I got a little confused at 6:00 when you are explaining how it's easier to push up with your upper palm and then when you zoom out you say to bend the bar around your back. Are you saying it's easier to bend the bar in a U with that thumb less grip? Probably a stupid question. Hope you all the best in you training and comps

you only get your elbows near your body if you have short arms dont bother with it just grip as wide as you feel comfortable. if you dont have a tight upper back, your upper back is simply to weak for the load. if i would but my arms near my body i would have to go 5cm deeper with the hand on low bar thats literally impossible or i just rip my shoulders out

Just my thoughts, if you are experimenting try lowering the weight to very comfortable level and work up from there. Sometimes small adjustments to form could cause you to be off balance.

Keep up the good content. Next time do this in a shirt so we can also see how the bar sits on your back. It looked high up your back, but maybe you squat high bar. When I try this method I end up high bar, but I’m older and don’t have good flexibility and range of motion.

I was thinking that ribs down would result in butt wink. Sure enough, I watched one of your other videos and noticed that you do have butt wink during squats. Obviously that is not a problem for you. Maybe you can do a short on why butt wink (possibly related to ribs down) is not necessarily a problem.
