Also this video has really hit home with me, I barely ever train Deadlift (I actually do it every now and again to just see if I can do it) and can pull 315 for reps whereas I'm actually deloading at the moment at 90kg on high bar. I'm 6'8 and long ass limbs but still a massive difference and when I think about it, I have this tendency to do the "lift the toe up and hips back" by accident in my squat even though I always think tripod foot and teach people that, I just struggle to feel like my toes are planted properly when I actually go to descend. Definitely gonna try the big toe trick!

Excellent tips especially 6:43-7:22 game changer for me as my conven deadlift is very strong as opposed to my high bar squat and so making my back and quads need to work together when getting out of the hole will be something I can work on. Many thanks to Juggernaut for producing "Squat School" series :)
@sweetcheex7 жыл бұрын
You know the cue you gave her about pushing weight/centre of gravity infront of shins, does this apply to any squat style? Still trying to improve my high bar even though I'm ridiculously tall and no doubt built better for low bar, I just want bigger quads and use deadlifts/rows/pulls for posterior chain. I know my hips will sit back as my femurs are my longest asset with the 6'8 height and I can't do anything about them, my ankle flexibility is already really good.
@jewfro9517 жыл бұрын
New lifter here. Meg mentioned that she didn't really know if she was getting it right with Max's q's and maybe it's because of the strength imbalance. It took me awhile to get the "feel" of the technique until I strengthened my quads and found a decent balance on my feet. That and/or she's so used to relying on her back to get into position to lock out. I've been squatting as low as possible (lots of front squats), using Max's information for legs and information from Chris Duffin for bracing, for maybe 4 - 6 months now (included in about a year of trying to find the best possible way to fix the adductor/flexor pain I was having while back squatting), and I can definitely feel my quads as well as the difference. Granted, my 5x5 weight right now just hit 200lbs, I feel no pain, my knees feel more comfortable while squatting, and the weight on the bar has been increasing at a good pace now.

I like the way they teach how to squat. They actually teach you how to perform a technically correct movement, not just pushing more weight for the sake of loading more plates on the bar. Weightlifting style. I don't care if you're a powerlifter. I think that a high bar, olympic style squat will always be the best choice for training purposes, even if in competition you switch to a low bar, hip dominant movement.
@majungasaurusaaaa6 жыл бұрын

Not true. Max Aita is good at with he's doing but he is a weightlifter. It differs so much from a powerlifting-style that it's impossible to change it just before the competition. HIgh bar squat with elevated shoes is just too quad-dominant and low bar so hip-dominant. if you are going to low bar squat at the platform, you should be training like that. I respect Max Aita as an athlete but he's quite arrogant and has made every ordinary gym guy think, that his style is the only style to squat.

So. My best squat until now is 245kg/540lb ish. Best deadlift 320kg/705lb. My quads are big compared to the rest but I high bar squat. I have squatted alot more volume over the years than I have deadlifted, but still I have this huge difference. So should I just squat more? ;)
@JuggernautTrainingSystems7 жыл бұрын
320kg Sumo or Conventional? There can be a caveat to our analysis on leg vs back strength, if someone just has particularly good deadlift leverages compared to squat leverages.
@Zlaterrr7 жыл бұрын
320kg conventional. I could probably pull 300kg semi sumo( Like coan ) in a few sessions if I practiced it. I just want to say also, that I am maxing out next week, and my goals are 260kg squat and 340kg deadlift. My deadlift has always been alot stronger than my squat. The first time I pulled 300kg I hadn't really deadlifted heavy for 6 months. I am not built like most people though, which I think is important to state. Fairly normal proportions but standing 6'7 tall.
