Love it, Grant! I think you've just described what I couldn't understand previously, which is why my warmups with only the bar never reached depth. Thanks!!

I’m 6’3” with long femurs.. to get to parallel or below, I have to pitch forward - even past 45 degrees to get that depth, or I can use a dumbbell or kettlebell that loads the weight in front of me…

Hey Grant can you make a video about hip pain/hip impingement in the squat?

@thestrengthco Жыл бұрын

Yes, be more specific about what you’re experiencing

@PizzamanMC Жыл бұрын

@@thestrengthco I've been feeling some hip pain in the front and side of my hip (right side mostly) deep near the joint that starts when I reach about 5 - 7 inches above parallel and escalates in severity as I hit depth . It feels like a pinch or bone on bone contact. After a set its hard to even walk.

@Hast91 Жыл бұрын

@@PizzamanMC That do sound like an inflammed hip caused by impingement between ASIS and femur fixed by pushing the knees out, letting the ASIS travel between your femurs.

When she has the barbell she is in different shoes. Heel elevated shoes make up for the lack of ankle mobility which helps a ton with keeping the weight forward and getting to depth

@shaolinhabibi Жыл бұрын

Not looking straight down helps too, even if the starting strength sect disagrees.

@michaelday6987 10 ай бұрын

I'm your 1%'er. My ankle locks in the front and I am unable to physically get my knee over my toes. I can squat to depth if I put my heels on a 3lb dumbbell.

Are you having this issue ?

@Matthew-pf9mj Жыл бұрын

My issue is knowing where depth is without looking at the mirror. How do you know when you’re going to deep? I’m not talking ass to grass, I’m talking below parallel, but like an inch or two further than you need to be?

@thestrengthco Жыл бұрын

Can film yourself and watch back. But if you’re bracing correctly and setting your back as you push your knees out you should get a stretch reflex out of the bottom

@ladislavbandy5887 Жыл бұрын

This is about anthropometry and balance of mass on moment arms, not the "feeling"... If someone is falling back and you load.the front, he wont be falling back... The lady could still not squat to depth in the original setup unless front loaded, or arms extended, even though she got the hang of it using a loaded barbell ! Because of her proportions / anthropometry/ mass distributon, and not flexibility!

@thestrengthco Жыл бұрын

It’s a physics problem. The “feeling” is a teaching aid

@shortycareface9678 Жыл бұрын

Both of those people have crazy long femurs, meaning it's more likely they'll tip backwards. Have a friend with the same issue, who spent quite a while learning to hit depth because of his build.

Weight on the bar works to get you to depth. No weight makes it hard to go ass to grass.

@MrGuano11 7 ай бұрын

The only reason this works for me when I squat holding a plate infront of me is because my torso is more upright to compensate for the weight, therefore I can go below parallel. This is in complete contrast to the horizontal back Rip keeps talking about. I just dont get it.

@bryandyke2037 Ай бұрын

I usually love your stuff, but this one basically is for people who have an issue squatting down to depth without weight in a strictly demonstrative environment. The fix is to just do the actual exercise. I don't think this address the core audience of folks who consistently miss depth on the lift.
