Do You Have A Perfect Squat? (Find Out)

Do you have perfect squat form? In this video I'll share my checklist of 5 essential techniques that you must check to pass the test. This includes bar placement (high bar versus low bar squats), your walkout, stance width, depth and bar path.

We'll answer: should you squat high bar or low bar? What's the difference between the two? Should you squat with a wide stance or a narrow stance? How to target the quads versus the glutes on squats? And how deep should you go on squats? Hope you find it helpful!!

I’ve been lifting for over 3 decades. How have I not heard of this guy before? Great content! He’s spot on!

Jeff’s effort and attention to detail on these videos is always impressive

[chwenatty]

i like how he even mentions the small details like “if you shift a bit, that’s okay” or “being shy of the depth won’t kill your gains” just to reassure people that the form isn’t 1000% perfect but should align with these rules.

6 - do it in the squat rack with safety bars at appropriate height.

As someone who used to hurt their back often low bar squatting, I’d add proper breathing/bracing to this checklist! 😊

That was the most comprehensive, factual, and unbiased lifting technique video I have ever seen... I think I might cry

Bro, i'm still running your powerbuilding program after 1 year of joining the gym and following all of your advice. I can confidently say i check all of them. People have complimented my depth and bar path many times already.

This dude is basically the only fitness YouTuber that I can trust enough to take at face value. I really wish I had someone like this guy when I was younger.

[ashtonbutler]

I was always worried about me squatting wrong without even realizing it. This guy is so helpful and informs people in an easy, effective way. Keep up the great work; I’m glad I found your channel!

[jjjjjjjjjjsssssss]

Between the editing and the information Jeff's videos are the best fitness videos out there 🔥

He was talking with 4 plates on his back. Respect.

Finally, someone said it doesn't have to be a perfect straight bar path. 👏

[bowmigow]

a great tip i usually give people when they squat for the first time (high bar) is just try to keep a balanced weight distribution over your entire foot area during the whole lift, and if you do your bar path is pretty damn good

[bradenmoser]

I love you Jeff. Thank you for giving well structured, science based, no bullshit lifting advice.

[devonharvey]

Bro this literally made a huge difference, the bar was hurting my cervical vertebrae, but Ik to place it on the traps for quad emphasize, and actually felt a pump in my quads

[hedilghammam]

Short and informative, thank you. Can you please make this a series with more exercises?

[alexreza]

Thank you so much Jeff I watch your content all the time. I was very lucky that growing up playing football in middle school and highschool we had great coaches that taught all of this to us but it’s crazy how many people don’t know so thank you so much I think you are litterslly changing the industry with transparency!

[thiagaotunadao]

Please make more videos in this style with other exercises, it's very useful and straight to the point.

[fadedhaze]

Can you make a video on drills for joints such as shoulders' and ankle. Would really help alot

[V-Phoenx]

For the squat to count is where the joint gets fully stretched, that is how stretch mediated hypertrophy works . So the 90 degrees works perfectly especially for people who get hip cracks from full depth even with low weight
