Creating The Best Upper Back Position For The Back Squat

[SimbaADC]

After a marathon in December, my number one life goal is a 200kg back squat and subsequent Sikastani Citizenship. My next message on this channel WILL be my citizenship application. See you at the border.

Gurph talking about squatting should be featured in the Headspace app. It's so calming.

Quite perfect timing as I feel the last few days my back squat upper back has been feeling not very solid to say
. Also a sika Stan approved squat guide book would be saucy

[danoontjeh]

After not squatting for quite a while (yes, I'm ashamed) I started squatting again last week. Loving it so far, and the Síka content is definitely helping me a lot

[Smittjitsu]

Would love to see a video on details of the squat descent there’s so much conflicting information. “Screw your feet into the floor” “drive the knees out” or “knees forward” etc etc

[tkcfit]

You lads must be in my brain! This is all I’ve been thinking about all week! Keep up the good work you mind readers!!

Sika Safety is an unexpected but welcome addition to the channel

[aidenseppi]

would be nice to see a video like this for the front rack as well.

My back position is 6 feet underground, because of Eric Bugenhagen

I abuse the lowbar position, the bar is basically on my ass cheeks.

[lloyd]

if you ever open your hands after you unrack the weight, put it back and start again

[rodrigocaceresb.]

How to improve upper back position on front squats next please 🙏

[ShinSuperSaiyajin]

Timely upload! This has been my issue with the high bar that’s why I switched to low bar for a time

[jmarsh]

Perfect timing for me as well. Great content boys!

[MrGreenixx]

Can you gain squat strength while dieting ( recomp phase ) as someone relatively new to the sport ?

[SLouiss]

Do all of these principles apply to a moderate stance and grip width low bar squat?

[alejandromagnobarrasa]

What about elbows going back? A faster descent In a max single used to happen all the time, but now the elbows round under for a third rep max. I don’t know why but it happens.

[julianlaustsen]

I have serious issues with shoulder mobility getting my arms behind the bar when squatting, think it's goten that way because of benchpress. do u have any tips for fixing this?

[Iheartlifting]

My mistake is only pushing my left elbow forward. So annoying. It pulls that side of the barbell down and my hip has to shift left to compensate. I didn’t even notice until yesterday when I filmed myself. I got all the way up to a 385lb squat this way. This is gonna be an annoying habit to break. Bet I’d have 405lbs by now if I caught it sooner

When I also take a deep breath and squeeze my core muscles I feel dizzy after a couple of reps, especially doing more than 8 reps.

How do you breathe while keeping this position. Breathe in before each rep and hold it? Or something else? Thanks!
