STOP doing your SQUATS like this!

Alright quick tip, whenever you're squatting, don’t just think of turning your toes outwards for the sake of it, cuz most likely your knees will either point straight forward or start to cave in which isn’t efficient for the lift. Instead, think of pointing your knees outwards by laterally rotating your hips to fully engage your glutes. That way, your knees travel in the direction of your toes, and you’re able to produce as much force as possible.

I hope that helps and subscribe for more lifting tips! #Gym #Shorts

Best advice I ever read was to jump once or twice. Then look at your feet. Your body subconsciously knows what is best for biomechanics. This "jumping" stance is pretty close to where I place my feet when I squat.

I wish I liked squatting as much as deadlift and bench

When I train people, I find that they generally don't have the mental connection or mobility to be able to open up their groin naturally. Getting them to consciously open up their groin is just as important as being conscious about the knees at first. I teach what I call the "break", in which I get them to stand naturally, then, without moving their feet at all, point their knees out as far as they can. This forces them to have to think about opening their groin as much as possible. Once they have built this mental connection, I find that they have much less problems with knee tracking and caving, as they feel much less restricted

Those quads! You need to post a leg day workout routine.

Dammit, I've been doing them all wrong trying to keep my feet straight. Thanks man!

Pretend you’re standing on a large piece of paper and you’re trying to rip it apart with your legs 🦵

Bro it made a huge changes, my legs don't feel awkward anymore. Thanks.

Dude thank you for this my whole life I was led to believe that proper form was toes and knees pointing forward and for that reason I've avoided doing squats because I always get pain and I've always wanted to do them like this but didn't because I thought I was going to hurt myself. Now I have a knee that always ends up hurting whenever I do anything too intense with it, hopefully I can fix it by training with it properly now.

Great! I'm doing like that! Thanks for good video!

Best tip for bodyweight squats : Do what feels comfortable for you and if they teach you a "weird" weighted squat form that you cant balance with then dont do it. We all have different anatomy, so do what feels comfortable

Jokes on you I'm bow-legged my knees are always pointing out LOL

[gojey_reacts]

I think you just saved a lot of peoples knees. Thank you 🙏

[hoosmyster]

Its these kinds of quick tricks and tips that really help

[steelmongoose]

Yeah, the external hip rotation is key, especially for old dudes with diminished mobility. Not that I know anything about that… 😒

[jigc]

Depends on what muscles you're targeting and how much weight you're using. This video is good for handling heavier weights and focusing on hip flexors mainly. Knees pointing forward and narrower stance hits mostly muscles around the knee therfore limiting the amount of weight used

Nice one kid, you know more than most adults

[manavendrasingh]

Thanks bro no one told me this. I think this is going to be safe for my knees as they hurt when I squat

[MauMenzori]

You can do both. The more your legs are open, the more of the inner leg muscles are exercised, and thus, making this range important and necessary to stir your routine up as to not remain doing the same thing over and over.
