Start showing this stuff on ppl who aren’t pros with full perfect form and super flexibility.

Hey would you guys ever consider doing a video series with someone who has poor mobility and seeing them progress? I haven't seen any videos online with a progression.

14:15 - yes! Finally someone gets it right about internal and external rotation - somewhere in the middle is usually optimal for most lifters. Crossfit teaches the external rotation approach, which I could never get to work when I started Crossfit - so... I moved more towards how the Oly lifters do it (more internal rotation) and my overhead squat improved dramatically.

Wow. This is incredible thank you. I"ve been having trouble with leaning forward, and I just followed along with this video and you just told me EXACTLY what I needed to know to improve. This is amazing, every single one of your videos improves what I do in the gym. My deadlift, squat, and bench press have been skyrocketing as a result of the manuals too. Thoracic mobility, improving leg strength, proper shoulder position... This truly is the best info I've seen on this and it's making me stronger without injury. Thanks again.

Henoch is superb. One of the very best.

WOW! Eye opening. I thought my ankle mobility was a problem. I did the wall test, and was able to put my knee to the door from 5 inches away without lifting the heel at all.

As a newbie to the oly lifts I greatly appreciate this vid....Juggernaut keep these types of info coming :))

You have just saved me from a complete mental breakdown over OHSquats…. A little more heel lift and it worked. Thank you so much!!!! ❤️

My mobility for snatch is mediocre. I did the mobility in this video and I can truly say that my ankle, and shoulder mobility is what is holding me.
Let see if I can explain this.
Once I set up on a standing position (like the lady in the video) dip and drive, Is hard for me to complete the Squat position.
The PVC pipe shift to the front and I cant even go half way to a squat. In order for me to complete one overhead squat I have to widen my stand and dig down mentally so that I can do one, and this is with a 35lb bar.
I am so happy that I found this video. I will continue to use this as a guide and hope that overtime I'll get better.
- any constructive comments will be appreciated...
thanks so much

The supine mobility work is brilliant! Will def help sort out my left tighter shoulder.

[PaulDangerfieldd]

The info you all give is always great! The test of keeping your foot 3 inches from a wall to test ankle dorsiflexion really helped me. I had heard that it needed to be 5 inches and that seemed so difficult. I'm still gonna push for 5 but it helps to know that 3 is workable.

[shanederbyshire]

this is awesome. it's not often i respect the advice on these sorts of videos. great work.

[juliearnold]

Thank you so much for all your advices ! I can’t do over head squats/snatch because of my lack of mobility. I’ll try your exercises hopefully I will get better at it !

[limitlesslindsay]

Holy shit this might be the best squat/mobility video I've seen all year - THANK YOU

[maakamakana]

I am 70yr and just starting out..I am six weeks into it, but do you think I could drop when I had my arms up in the fell over backwards in the gym first time I tried it with a 20kg bar...then a week later fell over backwards at home in my shed trying to squat again with my arms out stretched..then I thought, what if i put some spare weights under my heels, and BINGO, it worked, , now afew hours later searching the weightlifting videos I see this one..Fantastic, Really good for us old fellas and fellesses...thanks for the content

[duncanthaw]

I am going to like this one before I watch just because of how perfect the timing is for me.

[RonaldGorman]

Great demonstration of various strategies to improve overhead squat.

[clintonlane]

All of these things are great, but it makes it very hard to diagnose ones self (or learn how to diagnose) issues when the athletes you use have no imbalances or issues with squats or OHS. Overall great information.

Superb coaching, I love this channel. Keep it up.
