it's the one time i don't have to quickly click off before i have to hear that dumb phrase

Literally was having this problem the last couple of weeks.

nitrologly me too. had a super nice squat sesh yesterday. No hip pain at all. I was trying to figure my hip pain out for MONTHS. Streched, foam rolled, worked on mobility.. and nothing. I would never ever guess that my upper back wasnt tight enough. This was great.

For sure. I also still have a lot of trouble with keeping my shoulders and elbows in the right place, too. I've read up on the cues, but it's a matter of me just finding the spot that works best for me, and not letting my wrists bend.

Best comment in this turd pile.

R B you are very kind!

William Rachello yes. I noticed some improvement when i do a wide grip too.

On my squat, bar only rolls forward with extremely light warm up weight (probably because im too lazy on them and dont get tight enough). When it gets to heavy sets, its smudges perfectly on my back despite on beginning sets, where there's a slight roll.

Form on warmup sets is really tricky because the mechanics of the movement change. With only the bar for instance the bar-body weight ratio is very low, meaning that the center of mass is closer to your own, therefore typically a couple of inches further back (especially in the low-bar squat). When the weight on the bar gets heavier in comparison to your bodyweight, the center of mass of the "system" (you + bar) shifts forward. As I said, it changes the mechanics of the lift.

right lattes will prevent thoracic flexion

Destiny Behringer cool!

Collapsing in the hole. Whew...I never had that problem. They got them blue pills for that.

I agree. Her advice just made me cognisant of staying tight which I found was most easily achieved by pulling the bar across my back rather than puffing my chest up.

Jonathan Hakes I really like knee sleeves and they keep my knees warm and feeling better. They also provide some nice positional awareness

That does sound nice. I'm always hesitant when making purchases that could end up being a waste (like the wrist straps for bench press I think I've used twice over the past 6 months). However, one element of my barbell squat that makes me nervous is a slight shift/pop/sting in my left knee when my form isn't correct (i.e. my feet/knees are moreso parallel instead of v-shaped). Do the sleeves help adjust that form too? I believe that will help me build confidence with that crucial workout. Also, thanks for the reply!

I don't think mobility work is needed. More time under the bar, working on the correct positioning is the best practice here.

Huckle Berry I'm sorry but you sound dumb

I understand you might be saying we all have different body's but in general we have 2 arms and 2 legs and girls can do what guys can do . I'm sure your body structure is not like hers or any other guy instructor you've seen before

The upper back sometimes has a different bone structure and the placement of the bar can be tricky for some of us. I assumed my observation was clear enough but i didn't know it deserved an insult.

Huckle Berry exactly different structure besides gender . But if you feel like you get better info out of a girl instructor then go ahead you just didn't make sense to me but I'm sorry

Men are being too sensitive lately thanks to stupid feminists, so i kind of understand. I follow Alan because i find his videos extremely professional and useful, not to mention he's hilarious but i like to see the perspective of a woman also. I am sure there are a few things that may be different for us and i'd like to see them addressed.

But open up the taint!

KenpachiZarakiX always and take at least 3 shits before training legs, just in case

Thanks kenpachi taicho

@@Vibitiot I always go hard to the taint

Howard yes! Sounds like you’re understanding it!

Alan has now fallen under the mind control of Rippetoe, who is firmly against high bar squatting

Mr. Potato head high bar is for girls...(looks up at video...lol ) Just kidding! If your shoulders allow it, try low bar. I was never a fan of the barbel squat until I tried low bar. And my shoulders are tight as shit...so hopefully it'll loosen them up over time...

High bar is the truth.

I need to address my quads, the high bar does it perfectly. My posterior chain gets all the work needed. Also, I feel my back more engaged with a low bar, and as a guy with APT I don't want that.

Nah, wrong gender (sorry Jordan, not sorry).

No, only a mistress.

It's his squat rack wife

Just squat a ton of weight really often worth excellent form (high or low w/e), recover and lift more next time. Low bar utilizes more muscle overall, which for beginners means more weight can be used, in general. If you want to emphasise the quads, front squats, high bar are fine. Just remember to squat and squat often

Thanks you guys for your advices really apreciate them

I would also add that if you are performing the low bar squat correctly your quads should still be the prime movers. A proper Low bar = more hip activation not less quad activation. I personally never get DOMS on my quads after high bar squats, on the other hand they are pretty fried after low bar squats simply because I am handling about 10% more weight.

Yep. If the quads in low bar contribute a lower percentage of the total force production, but of a higher total force (since you're lifting more weight), the quads are still being worked hard. A proper low bar squat should still work the quads hard.

Its 4 months later but the total difference is quad activation between the 2 is like 10% at most according to published studies
