if I squat ass to grass I litteraly fall on my ass with the weight on my spine. Please do not promote people that are not* knowledgeable enough to understand body proportions. People with my body structure who don't know better could get seriously hurt by his advice, it's actually dangerous to do what you just did in this vid omar… I usually very much enjoy and learn from your vids, everyone has their worst ones so it's completely fine, I will still watch them.

I started to do ATG squat ever since I saw clarence vids. And I never want to come back on doing normal paralel squat anymore, because I can definitely feel it hit more muscle in my lower body compared to the paralel squat. Edit: forgot to mention this, but make sure that you have proper mobility before you changing your squat into ATG squat. In my case I didnt properly warm up and also I didnt really noticed that Im not having enough mobility yet for ATG squat, it makes me having muscle strains on my left glutes area and it took awhile to recover completely, had to go for physiotheraphy for it.

Nice. When I made the switch from powerlifting style to a proper high bar atg squat I neglected my mobility. I had decent hip and low back mobility already but I had never paid attention to my ankles and calves before. So after a few weeks I had some serious strains in my calf muscles and this took a few months of rest and mobility work to overcome. So I wholeheartedly urge anyone about to try low high bar squats to work on the mobility first
@ahmarcamacho84044 жыл бұрын
I would have to disagree with you, atg is still the same thing. Even in this video when squatting atg you have to accelerate the descent past parallel or you will lose your position anyway. Most people who squat to parallel don't need to go further because that bit further is just gonna be a greater stretch relax anyway, I can only see this being beneficial if you need to take advantage of that stretch reflex like in weightlifting.

When I finally got the right mindset to do squats, I always went ATG. I absolutely can not go back up from parallel. You have so much stability and power from ATG. Once you get past the fear of getting crushed and try it out, you'll be alright and you may change how you look at that workout in a positive way.

I have always squatted ATG. I don't powerlift or compete, so there is no point in maximising leverages and just touching parallel while squatting sideways as Tom Platz puts it. Full depth/RoM while being more upright focuses the weight on the legs and not the back, which for the general population who is just looking for health benefits and building the legs it will benefit you more imo. That isnt to say low bar hasn't got a place, we all know you can move more weight that way, but that isn't the point in my case.

The rectus femoris IS being shortened at the hip, but it is also being lengthened at the knee. EMG data shows that the adductors are naturally a large contributor to the squat which MAY be a reason for knee vagus on the ascent, but I'm not too sure. It is probably the result of many contributing factors.

I see a lot of people commenting about how your perspective has changed on squats with time, and seeing it as hypocrisy or contradiction. The important thing to distinguish here is that neither ATG nor parallel are "bad". They just have different purposes. A powerlifter isn't going to benefit from doing ATG at a competition. A bodybuilder would benefit more from higher volume through increased ROM. Imo there are no bad exercises, they only vary as to how well they suit a specific goal or intention
@braydenbledsoe32524 жыл бұрын

@andrewmontgomery17634 жыл бұрын
Brayden Bledsoe honestly there’s only 2 really: full depth, ATG squatting specifically for weightlifting vs hip crease right below the top of the knee for everyone else. Maintaining a neutral spine and keeping knees tracking over toes (not going in or out) is all the same regardless. Highbar is great for general fitness and weightlifting specifically, lowbar for moving the most weight possible in a squat and obviously best suited for powerlifting.
