I can tell Brian isn't the type of guy that likes too many compliments but, seriously this man knows so much about training. Its actually amazing how much I have learned from his videos. For me I love doing front squats with a sand bag either, bear hug, Zerc or in front style. I really feel it in my legs and have virtually no back pain. And when Brian mentions the reasoning for front squats for sports it totally makes sense. Sht that nobody ever thinks of is where this man's mind lives. My chin ups sucked for decades his video instantly fixed it. I could say similar things about his shoulder press and arm training stuff as well. So many web people or complete BS literally yet Brian is the exact opposite. Every one of his videos I have learned something substantial. Thanks B.A.

You can teach 50 different people how to coach in a singular methodology and yet still get 50 different ways of cueing information. I love this channel because the way you coach and cue info has greatly and positively affected me, best example is the "pregnant woman" cue, pushing out the knees so that your legs can receive your body. Really had helped during my back rehab phase. Thank you

Squats were huge for football as a defensive lineman I worked them like a religion for years. Front Squats and Power Cleans , on top of the usual routine I knew I shot out of my stance up to 50 or 60 times a game so I would try to get that many done in an hour with percentages of my one rep max. To simulate game stress on my system ,,, not sure if it was right lol but it never felt like it hurt. Another great vid man.

Hey Brian, love your vids although I have one question. Do you prefer neutral grip/pullups or chin ups? I remember you saying neutral in 2016-17ish years but since then I always saw you do pronated pullups. What changed?

@BrianAlsruheOfficial 4 жыл бұрын

I like neutral for all weighted. I just think it’s safer that way. But for unweighted, I only do pronated because they’re harder. No lie, I think I can do almost 40 neutral grip bodyweight pull ups so it takes a lot of reps to even get any trivia fact for me. That said, I absolutely love them weighted

Hey Brian ,how should i squat if im kinda in a middle between low bar and high bar ,thanks ,keep up the good work 👍

@Eli-el7mr 4 жыл бұрын

David Valpeters i’m not Brian, but incase he doesnt answer and you’d like to just hear a little information: It depends on two things, and thats if you have any pain in your back or your knees, and which one does your anthropometry lend itself to best? If you have knee pain with squats, squat low bar. If you have lower back pain with squats, squat high bar. Sheering forces at the moments arms are different depending on bar placement. Low bar puts a LOT of the sheering force on the back, and high bar focuses quite a bit of its sheering force on the knees. So you can aid any arthritis or lingering injuries with this choice. How long are your femurs? Long femurs present as a squatter with a more horizontal back angle, and short femurs present with the opposite. Forcing a trainee to use a squat that works against their anthropometry will only makes their movements more difficult and unnecessarily increase sheering forces like we discussed above. You will know if you have long femurs by recording a clip of you performing a bodyweight pause squat from the side and watching it back to see the back angle. Assuming you hold no prior injuries, pick high bar or low bar from what your natural bodyweight squat most resembles. Hope that helps 👍

@michaelbond7213 4 жыл бұрын

I think there is a spectrum between low and high. I say that I squat high bar, but I find as the weight gets heavier I set it lower and lower, even though it is at the base of the traps and definitely not on the rear delts. Calgary barbell recently did an interview with Jimmy Paquet, an 800lb squatter, where he said he squats mid bar. I think that as long as the bar is not going to roll on you then it doesn't matter whether it is high or low.

@timgood9818 4 жыл бұрын

Great information and all but honestly, I was distracted a bit. The whole time I was watching, I kept drifting to the banner behind Bryan and thinking over and over to myself “Who’s Steve Tate?! Dave’s got a brother? What’s the deal?!” Then towards the end he moved a bit and it clicked...NeverSate. Don’t I feel dumb, haha!

Darn. Forgot to ask this (not that I have instagram though). I'm getting quite alot of wrist pain with my low bar squats. Any idea on how to fix it?

@williamcarter6374 4 жыл бұрын

JuhQman he addressed this when he answered the question regarding elbow pain. It’s a mobility issue, and I had the same problem a year ago. Work on your shoulders, chest,and lats. When those get loose, you’ll be better able to get your elbows down giving you the ability to line up your wrists with your arms. You can also try using a 3 fingered grip on the bar (leaving your pinkie finger off the bar) until you get better mobility, but that’s a quick fix.

@JuhQman 4 жыл бұрын

@@williamcarter6374 So just try to get as narrow a grip as possible, in order to line the wrists with the arms? If so, what should I do? Shoulder dislocators and such, or something else?n With the grip, I'm using a thumbless one and it does help a bit. Especially as I can shift how my wrist is aligned.

@williamcarter6374 4 жыл бұрын

JuhQman a narrow grip will likely increase your wrist pain. I can’t be 100% sure where your issue is without seeing your form/position, but I’d suspect that your elbows are too far back, and/or you don’t have a good bar position causing you to try to support the bar with your hands to keep it in place. If you search “shoulder mobility exercises for the squat”, you’ll find videos from Brian, Alan Thrall, etc. on this topic that I’m certain will help you tremendously.

@JuhQman 4 жыл бұрын

@@williamcarter6374 I think my main issue is with how I hold the bar. My wrists are not straight but rather I turn them inwards, which causes tension, especially with heavier loads. I'll have to remember to examine a bit more closely on what I'm doing the next time I squat and hopefully the tips will be helpful. Thank for taking the time to help me out. Really appreciate it.

@williamcarter6374 4 жыл бұрын

JuhQman I’d highly recommend that you have a friend video you from different angles while you squat. You’ll quickly be able to see problems this way. If you’re still confused, you can send Brian the video through his web page. For a very reasonable fee he’ll critique your form and get you on the way to new PR’s. Best of luck brother!
