Excellent demo. Definite communication skills from Steve. I can see him becoming a larger face of SS

Very helpful! I have been doing it wrong all along. This is a game changer. Thank you!!!

I sent Steve an e-mail asking about Europe and the possibility of work there as a SSC, and he was kind enough to reply and make himself available when he didn't (and still doesn't) know me personally. Great impression. Nice to see him here.

Thank you! All the other videos on this didn’t explain it as clearly!

Of all the SS videos on the squat this might be one of the very best at explaining an issue several people including myself deal with.

From personal experience, a third thing the knees moving forward at the bottom does is cause patellar tendonitis. Great video with good explanations!

Good demo of a problem I struggled with. Appreciate the animations. Quality work.

Slowing down my range of motion on the squat helped me with setting my knees at the right time

Very clear and helpful demonstration! Thank you

This is so great man. Love these videos. Squats are actually my favourite exercise now!😁💪

The one video that really helped my squat. Thank you.

Very helpful in keeping the hamstrings engaged. Good use of video as a coaching aid. Well done.

Thank you for the demonstration! I've been struggling with knee slide terribly and couldn't figure out how to set them. They're popping all the time, and I knew knee slide was the reason. This helps!

Awesome video. Thanks a lot for generating and sharing this content. It's amazing how important it is to get form right instead of falling for the temptation of increasing weight without nailing down the right form first.

This is by far the best instructional vid on setting the knees and what it should look like. The verbiage and the optics could not have been any clearer....Bravo! We need more Steve videos.

Awesome video. Thanks

thanks for this great video demonstration.

excellent technique video and explanation of the cues.

Quality video. Appreciate the animation that goes along with the explanation

Thank you!

this is excellent, excellent advice

Excellent video, well done!

Impeccable.. Thanks 🙂

Nice and clear explanation

Excellent!

Haha, I was just watching myself squating on video and was doing this exact thing - to a lesser degree - and wondering why my knees hurt and I was losing rebound in the hole. Nicely done Steve Ross from Brussells Barbell!

Rip's version: "Push your ass back! Like you're about to sit!! Now knees out! Look at my hands, knees out! Good, good. Now... I want you to drahhve this up, hhhhWhile keeping your knees out. We want to avoid the so called valgus collapse." *slaps your lower back* Steve's version: "Hey there buddy :) Here's what you can do."

Anthony Robins joined SS WOW !!!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Power clean please!

Is focusing on "knees out" generally enough to get them set early?

So if I do it right, I should feel it in my hamstrings? Like a stretch?

Hello! I got a question. At 2:30, Im currently worried about the low back at this point as Im used to not go below this - I probably stop at 2:28 as I previously had a low back injury. I'm no expert at this so how do you guys manage to be able to lift heavier and safer at that point?

How tall are you sir?

When I squat incorrectly, my knees hurt, that's because all the weight is on my knees and not on my hips, anyway good tip!

Is still also applicable to Front Squat?

One of the issues with squat technique is it is highly variable. Some talk about weight back, others over mid foot. Personally I find the horizontal position too much for how I teach a squat. If you want a straight bar path, the knees must travel forward a little bit and engage the quads. While the squat does impact a lot of posterior chain, it also should rely heavily on the quads. Also will depend on low bar, high bar, suited or not. As the weight increases the lack of a really strong chain can lead to a good morning type squat. But again, lots of variables in how a squat can or should be done.

The trainer has very tight ankles, which is preventing him from hitting depth without the bank rounding. You can also see the toes come off the platform. I cannot tell from the video, but having some good weightlifting shoes will help with that alongside some ankle work. Good luck!

Massive butt wink from 2:20 to 2:30

I did squats as shown in this video and now i'm in a wheelchair. my wife left me and my children no longer respect me. every moment of my life is misery steve, MISERY

2:30 dude come on that’s a shit ton of butt wink. You’ll get people injured with that technique

Turn up the music even louder because I can still almost hear the guy making unintelligible sounds

awful video that poorly explains a niche aspect of the SS squat. sure you used your hamstrings but you were completely off balance. watch as he performs it "correctly" and you can see his toes coming off the platform meaning the weight was not centered over mid foot. balance and bar placement are much more important to a beginner than learning how "bounce" out of a squat. this guy has not watched all the SS videos like i have. lord rippletits would be ashamed.

Its absurd and dangerous teach all people squating the same way. Sorry but it looks like you stuck 20 years ago with this dogma. Your deepth is funny and this type of squat will be very, very bad for lot of people.
