How To Squat Properly (FIX THIS MISTAKE)

[fedoraspacedragon]

looking at this video made me realise we are soon gonna have AI gyms where you walk in, and youre told by AI what you need to work on and how you can improve technique

I hate sucking at squats lol. I love them but I'm just so bad at them.

If your back is relatively stronger than your legs, it doesn’t matter how many paused squats you do to help que core tightness, you are still going to tip over when pushing the intensity. This can only be addressed with a long term focus on bring up the quads, which may still be undone when you go back to your default mode of training as your leverages and insertions are just inherently more biased towards the hinge movement pattern.

when you have a strong back and weak legs you can grind squats with the good old squat morning whereas when you have strong legs and a weak back you have to bail out

In my experience, this can be fixed by this cue, "move ass before knees",

[liamp]

Biggest thing is the foot pressure. People tune that out because they wear shoes that deform their feet and move pressure to unhealthy areas. Don't squat if you're wearing anything on your feet other than lifting shoes if you dont want to wear down your joints and mess your feet up

3 words. Seated. Good. mornings. Helped me fix mine. The problem for me is I was folding on the way up, SGMs helped to strengthen my core stabilisation muscles so when I push up I maintain the same back angle.

Yeah okay but I'm pretty sure a max effort squat looks like that for literally everyone. You can not find me a person on the planet whose quads are so strong that this never happens. It even happens to some extent in your demonstration.

What app do you use to track bar trajectory?

[helenbarrett]

What app tracked that point on the barbell?

[dritanvarfi]

In fact, when the weight is light, usually the bar looks like it is forward because the weight of the body is mostly behind the midfoot and the body compensates...and when the weights get heavier, then the body balances out and the bar path should straighten

[spoopyscaryskelebones]

You just gotta extend flutes and squats at the same time.
I know, you need control.

[ripwarheart]

What about if the bar starts traveling backwards (more towards heel) on the ascent?

[robertwolfgan]

I'm going to pretend I understood this...because I'm tired of being so dumb I can't seem to get it...

[georgiafan]

I raise my heels 3/4” and it helps take pressure off knees and focuses weight on my lower quads. My knees no longer hurt.

[DRIFTER]

It helps to also hold the bard down towards your body to keep you tight in that center of gravity.

Love this info, so so helpful to me at 68! Weight work is so so great

[claudiamarianidamato]

I like to squat in a springing motion, where you don’t lock out and rest at the top. An example of this is how Vivi Winkler does it, she squats over 300 lbs for reps in this fashion.

[chuckwheeler]

Unless your in a sport that calls for explosive strength I don’t see the benefit to squats vs the risk of spinal injury… in other words if your just trying to look good you simply don’t need them

[dipro]

How do you draw those bar paths in video?
