Thanks for confirming what I figured out on my own. Feels good man.

Triceps to lats was a light bulb moment. Searched so many videos and couldn't understand that rack position. Thank you for this video

[joshuabrittain]

This is a great tip! I've been squatting for a little while and I didn't know this (I've also been feeling funny in my shoulders when I squat and I think this will resolve that issue.) Thanks Squat University!!

I have permanent mobility problems because of a bicep injury I sustained. Can’t pronate my arm enough to get comfortable

[PooooLsharK]

5-10 second what? Primal scream? Got it!

[mountfairweather]

Ahhh this topic needs more in depth discussion. Good introduction

[frankmartinez]

Gym bros with better physique on their worst day than I will ever have on my best all tell me my forearms must be vertical for proper form. But I say this must be wrong because that position causes tears in my upper arms. So, who is right? Them or me?

[Sharkenite]

Whooooaa I'm the 5000th like exactly!

[Daniel-pqvr]

I really love your videos! I am curious what program you use for the animations of that skeleton 🤔

Help me i have 2 shoulders that are messed up, left one is in constant pain and cracks with any movement and can get locked up and i have to undo the movement that locked the arm to fix it, and my right shoulder has a point where it will physically jump a section in my muscles where its idk but i can't make a full rotation with it and when i hit that jump in my mobility its painful as hell, and because of the left shoulder being out of place its effecting my neck now and is pinching nerves on the top of my spine and because of the pinching in my spine the bottom of my spine is being pinched and my hips are being effected by the lower spine and making them have serious pressure all the time so i have to crack my back but by cracking my back its hurting my spine which made the middle of my spine extremely weak i can't lift a empty plate without feeling seriously crushing in the middle of my spine and it hurts so much, i am 17 years old this shouldn't be happening to me yet this is a cry for help doctors don't know what is wrong with me a chiropractor made everything worse and all i hear from everyone is we can't help you, someone who has any possible idea or know anyone who might please help me im in so much pain always

I struggle to keep my rear delts tensed for the bar to sit on when I bring my elbows down. Any thoughts?

[SoumaSoCl]

Wow, this looks like a gem info of an exercise channel. Although i wished i could start workout, just don't have a strong reason or a bit too busy in life. :(

[messychef]

I'm having issues with fingernumbness in squatting specifically my median nerve any tips or ideas on why this may be happening? I don't want to give up squats but it's been an issue the last couple times.

[DerangedScout]

Why wear elbow sleeves for squats, though?

[MrAwseal]

I know this is posted along time ago, but could this be the reason why at the bottom of my squad and I am former weightlifter so I go all the way ATG, but when I go 95% of 1rm I drop 1 hand and put it on my knee. Couldn’t be my bad position that is causing this?

Tight ass belt omg. Bro intestines are screaming

[Letsgotogether]

am in India, i have back, neck, shoulder pain.
how am i suppose to do any exercise?(compression tests
neutral:positive, flexion:+ve, extension:negative).
all neck stretches make it worse.

[mikeoxlong]

Couldn't find a lifter that used good technique as an example huh?

[henrymedelius]

Im not convinced wrist cave man over here is doing it right and neutral wrist guy is wrong
