@@monkula84 the body weight decreases by 3kgs after each squat session however

You mean they shit?

They do it to shit because the few public bathrooms available are filthy.

@@alejandroperez5368 they shit that way, eat that way, smoke that way, chill and hang that way, I think it might even be used by guys on top during sex. For whatever reason, it's just a commonly used, ubiquitous, practical position that they'll just spend amounts of time in a full, bottomed out squat that I have to admit to being incapably conditioned for. I've spent a lot of time in India myself, in various locations. It's legit a thing there.

@@Breaker197 do fat people perform this ancient technique too?

Slav squat!

Tracksuits are mandatory to performing this exercise.

Dr sully said people have making love in this position also 😊

Start with low bar squat, get yourself strong, have your bones and muscles protect you by reinforcing them Once strong, try whatever it is you want do, in this case the "taint to ground" squat

most toilets sir above parallel for most people though It is my favorite squat variation

I squat corrected

Then again, I guess one could alternatively choose low toilet squatting instead of the popular high toilet squat. But honestly, who gives a crap.

Lol Edward Goose you give a crap be honest

John Carter you know it's true.

jam34786 I thing the additional fluid from the excersice help cushion and lubricate the joints; that is my guess. of all things, locking out the joint is worse than squatting low.

I might not have the credentials to answer your question, but I would strongly advise against it. While most machines at commercial gyms are stupid and largely useless, extreme minimalism will not only leave lots of weak links, but will also raise your chances of overuse through the roof. Performing too much of anything, including amazing exercises like the squat and OHP will lead to overuse injuries. If you, because of closed gyms for example, only have a barbell plus weights, and cant drop it hard on the floor like a deadlift, I would suggest adding in some floor presses, pendlay rows (with soft touch on floor), romanian deadlifts, maybe some good mornings if you can perform them safely and maybe some shrugs and barbell curls.

@@u.sgrant7526 wow I really appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts on this. I agree and started varying my lifts recently because I started having the same concern.

I would do the Stronglifts 5x5 program

High bar squat is perfectly safe. You can squat more weight with low bar position though.

the upward torso is required for weightlifters because they need to accelerate the bar in an upward motion for the snatch+clean and jerk. (Also they catch the bar with an upward torso)

My understanding is that you go just below parallel to ensure that you at least went parallel.

The cracking noise is your patella(s) sliding around. Strength your VMOs with unilateral work and really focus on firing them when you do leg work.

CjaM McGymLad warm up longer

Knee sleeves

you probably lean forward a bit more that you should

Me too.

Colin Moreau why would a low bar advocating video make a case for high bar? Look up Chad Wesley Smith and Max Aita for high bar tutorials.

Johnathan. Aviles ok, then distinguish that and don't say ALLLLLLL squats. Very ambiguous.

But if you squat high bar u still go below parallel.

Where did he say anything about high bar at all here? I missed it.

David McClelland exactly my point. When you come off as an authority in your field and a person these kids coming up in the game can trust for info, and they assume they can high bar (again, because it's not specified it's just said "SQUAT") and these kids start bending over in the high bar because uncle rip said so, they snap their damn back. Again my point is that the choice of words on SQUAT is ambiguous. There are other types of squats than just low bar. And saying "squat" does not imply "low bar squat"automatically.

you dont have to look at muscle soreness that is an unimportant factor for growth. If you want that someone checks your form post it on the starting strength forum. (Make sure to record the video right there are some explaining notes on the website somewhere)

probably when he wrote the article he's reading. or this was recorded in advance

*current year*

Tommy Thompson the picture I see has the the knees at about 6 grids up and the hips at about 5 with the majority of the knee above line 5 and the hip joint just at or slightly below it.

Johnathan. Aviles I think Rip would like to get on to a different topic as well. The problem is that the same bullshit keeps getting spread around and around around despite his best efforts.

and yes the vast majority of people in the gym, if you tell them that, even though they have no words and cant counter your points in any way will still contract their faces and go back to doing partial squats i once talked to someone about the exercises that he chooses to do and he said to me at the start that i should know that it doesnt matter what im going to say, even if im correct, he is still going to keep doing the same things.... he literally said that even if he knows for a fact that what he is doing is a waste of time he doesnt care and hes still gonna keep doing that, this is the majority of people.

he means just slightly below not ass to grass

proper depth in a squat is when each muscle that is involved is stretched the most without the relaxation of any muscle. (At some point the hamstrings and some other muscles relax if you go much deeper than parallel)
