I really like these shorts. I hope you do one on balance. Mine is terrible and it prevents me from doing things like lunges or split squats properly.

[kittenwiskerz]

It's not just about ankle mobility but also hip structure....

[LoneWolf]

Love having this videos pop up in my recommended, I get a little piece of knowledge everyday

[KD-.]

another thing that i've found helpful to decrease butt wink is increasing adductor mobility and/or flexibility

[sungitg]

we have different joints some can have a more narrower stance than him and have no butt wink some needs a wider stance, wish could have known this sooner i thought i just had a weak back or something been training my back like crazy then i started doing goblet squats then realized i just needed a winder stance smh

[IamTony]

Very informative. I plan on getting a pair of lifting shoes. Now that I’ve take squatting a lot more serious, I feel the need for a proper pair of shoes. I currently do my squats barefoot but even then I feel an imbalance towards the bottom of the squat preventing me from going heavier. The reality is that I can do great form squats with lighter weights but as soon as I try it with 2-3 45lbs on each side I start to feel the imbalances even more.

I hear the stupidest terms here on this channel yet some of the best information that isn’t “hey look at me” condescending tone that I hear in these shorts from most of the others on YouTube.

Thank you for this. Good info for my squat technique. 🤛🏽

🙏Plz make videos about jumprope
(Shoes n injury)

[banjobear]

I just watched the video that was very extensive on this showing many studies that suggest there is no significant injury risk to butt wink.

[pepegya]

Very detailed and helpful content as always 👍 What's your opinion about weightlifting barefoot?

[thallassus]

so how does this work if you have a lot of internal rotation and your hips dont really want a wider stance?

[DominicAff]

That was not neutral spine... that was an arch.

[misterneckbreaker]

Put the weight on your back just go down however your body wants to go. Everybody structure different tall short ect

[jchall]

Man’s got cake! Jealous that yours so close to it!

[rodrigosouto]

Squat shoes vs barefoot shoes? Whats your take?

[Buffboi]

But what if your sport (powerlifting) judges you for depth and you have to butt wink to get to said depth?

[EricFrog]

Any advice for someone with cam and pincer hips on both sides?

[HomeGymJordan]

I have a butt wink with air squats. But zero with a bar on my back.

[yourbadful]

There is no correlation between butt wink and increased injury risk. Stop misleading
