The cue to "claw" the feet is the most underrated one by far! "Driving through your heels" just makes you rock once you approach near max intensity. That classic cue is great when starting out, but clawing gave me almost as much stability as the lifting belt. Definitely one to try if you've never done it!

[Awesummzzz]

I've only ever seen you talk about good form, etc. It's nice to see you back it up

I finally hit depth the other day. All this time I had a wide stance because I thought that's how you got rid of butt wink. This whole time I was thinking I wasn't going wide enough then I thought "wait this is basically sumo squatting lemme just try a narrow stance real quick". Lo and behold I hit depth consistently for all my sets. Squat University is the GOAT.

[t-roer]

I wanted to thank you for the squat tips you have given it has helped me tremendously for example i can lift heavier and i have no knee pain thank you so much

[Itsstorytime]

Thanks for sharing this. Lots of ppl out there still don’t know how to squat properly. Sometimes it’s not about the weight but it’s the technique and form that makes the difference. (Correct me if I’m wrong)

[shebih-]

Definitely needed this. Thanks !
You made the depth look way easy. Nice ROM overall!

exterbak rotation torque opened my eyes

[oisacovski]

You are a hero, now i want to squat just like you, thx man

[Gymliftpeep]

also you can pause for a second at the bottom to increase hypertrophy

[hamzatahir]

Please make this type of video on deadlift

[thebigdezshow]

You’d think this guy would have monster legs by now 😂

[andydelarosa]

Every time I go to take my big breath I immediately become light headed. Am I doing this wrong?

[theinsurancelab]

That fucking squat looked flawless dude! I need to come to your facility man and nail down my SBD! God Bless!

[sebk]

Good advise, but i wouldn't exclude the momentum at the bottom.

[hnuugjg]

I would do anything to squat like that

[johnnycash]

If I had to guess I think this guy's favorite exercise is the tricep kickback

[ronaldmarcano]

Nobody talks about that bounce to go deep that’s the difference between a squat and everything close. That requires a good knee and I wish they focus on the muscles and bone rotation work involved
