your videos are worth their weight in gold. I've been pushing my ass back as if I were sitting in a chair.

Your videos blow me away! Every channel I watch they never get into the deep anatomy, and you really break it down and explain the science. I've been binge watching your videos, and I can't wait to try them out in the gym! I haven't found a lot of channels that talk about the hips and how to stay healthy while squatting or deadlifting which is something I struggle with so these videos are life saving!

Great stuff! Easy to understand.

I'm here from MindPump FYI. Good stuff you have going on. Subscribed to the podcast as well.

Appreciate that content. Thanks guys!

Great stuff Jordon. Really appreciate the info you share.

Excellent channel. Brief, professional intro, right into relevant content from a very credible guy, and best of all, vids are short. Love it.

This is fantastic. Can you make a video specific to how to fix externally rotated tibias/tibial torsion? As it relates to the squat (it limits my ankle dorsiflexion severely) Btw came here from mind up, great stuff. You and Max Aita know your squats better than most

To be mentioned in the same sentence as Max Aita is an honor- thank you, The tibial torsion i find to be closest linked with biceps femuris issues so a lot of lateral line stretching, as well as making sure we're getting our foot position from externally rotating our hips so our tibias don't have to pick up the slack I did a video on the sump deadlift that had a great PNF stretch that I use for such a hip problem

How do you know when to progress from one stage to the next?

Hey man, do you have like a "stretch routine video" (post workout) uploaded here, or are you planing on making such a video? Or at least if you could recommend which stretch exercises to do and whick to avoid? I would really appreciate it if you could!

Your channel is so good. How did you grow it so quickly, mainly asking how you were able to get your audience to find you when you were a smaller youtuber and have no subs?

I've been lucky to collaborate with much larger channels in a similar field (MindPump, Aesthetic Strength, Omar Isuf)

Dealing with pinching in my left front hip at the bottom of my low bar squat. You recommend I switch to front loaded squats for a few weeks?

Also here from MindPump. Would this be a recommended progression for someone with under active glutes and anterior pelvic tilt? Max squat so far since restarting after an accident is 20kg on a high bar.

Absolutely- The forward load will punish you if you anteriorly tilt, because it will shift your center of gravity too far forward. This will teach you to neutralize your pelvis position and descend with your knees to start the moment rather then "sitting back"

I had a severe pull on my spinal erectors 2 years ago by deadlifting poorly and im still on the healing process. Is there any alternative training/rehab to the front squat? Cause F.squats still triggers my injury, thanks! And gongrats for the great stuff! Cheers!

Im really glad you asked that question- my next video will be about the erectors and the misconception of how they works! Front squats could be a little aggressive off a progression out of the gate

A video on how to properly stretch all 3 shoulder heads and how to get rid of shoulder pain would be much appreciated

i feel a bit star struck having you reply to me tbh :'D your content is great. i guess the best example is seated rows, during the eccentric portion of the exercise when i lean forward and have my arms extended just a tiny bit i feel very intense pain in my left shoulder, intense enough for me to be unable to complete the exercise. im unable to perform lateral raises too because of pain in both shoulders though, not just one.

ive tried stretching all 3 heads along with my lats chest and external rotators and i apply a nsaid lotion every now and then. doing this does help with the pain but my shoulders have never went 100% pain free and the pain usually regresses after a day or two at the gym

I did a video on lax ball for the rotators and the rotator cuff progression (earlier videos) I would recommend going through those in order (roll first/activate second) Then see if any part is particularly painful, or any movement is particularly usntable then let me know

could u do a squat rehab protocol for knee pain? thanks

@Themuscledoc

Ahh a little more difficult as its multifactorial. But usually knee starts with unilateral loading. I will think of a way to organize it!

Is this progression good for other injury progression back into the squat? And more specific knee and/or ankle.

@Themuscledoc

More hips/SI. Knee progressions would look very different then this

@chechecheko

One for knee progressions please ! :)

So for a low-bar squat, you still break at the knees BEFORE the hips, correct (not simultaneously?) . This is somewhat contrary to what SS / Rip. teaches, as well as your rather "upright" torso for the low-bar movement. Again, the SS model seems to favor a more forward torso lean angle with eyes focused directly on the floor....or is this entire approach ONLY applicable to a rehab. programming situation? Lastly, maybe a future video could cover how one "decides" which type of squat (low vs. high) is more suitable : is it primarily dependent on the individual's mobility, anthropometry, or what "feels" most comfortable, etc....Thanks!

Harley Baldwin GREAT QUESTION. Ss and the rip squat is flawed from a biomechanics standpoint , doesn't consider the shear load on the SI joint and the toes out negates any role of the Glute med to stabilize the pelvis in the transitory phase from eccentric to concentric. Breaking knees first is usually a cue to over correct for those People who sit back out of the gate . If you can Load both back and knees at the same time I'm all for it. Lowbar would only be preferred if the goal is objective strength. Powerlifting or purposeful overload within a program. High bar is a more applicable motor pattern for fitness enthusiasts

Wow, that's the answer I've been searching for! As a "newer" squatter (and having seen SS videos), one can easily be persuaded that there is only ONE type of squat (and one type of deadlift, too!), and anything else is useless and a waste of time. Having grown up in a Family of PhD's and MD's I prefer to do my own careful and unbiased research and then arrive at an objective decision. I do not subscribe to any of the "cult-like" followings that one finds on YT, but Rip does occasionally have some valid points in his teaching methods. Although I have been using a Rip-style of low-bar squat / forward lean (because it's easier to go heavier) that doesn't mean this is necessarily the "best" squat for me and my anatomy. Perhaps it would be "healthier" (for me) to back off the weight a bit and stick to high-bar, while perfecting the form. (which at age 55 is FAR more important than how many plates are on the bar)Thanks again for taking the time to reply, you now have a definite subscriber!

Yay for us 57 year old newbies (6 months) doing SS and dealing with hip pain on the first squat rep no matter how much weight is on the bar that tends to go away as you continue the reps. Overcoming that first rep fear is quite a challenge. I'm trying to break the 165 barrier. Thanks for the lunge airplane vid over at MindPump. Lunges truly help reduce my right hip pain, along with side-lying leg raises surprisingly enough. I so wish I had your balance. I'll keep an eye on your channel. Thanks.

I like the channel a lot but if i may say so, both of you are lacking flexibilty in your ankles forcing you to shoot you hips back more than necessary causing extra axial load on the spine, since it keeps you from staying upright throughout the whole movenment, especially in the highbar backsquat. increased ankle flexibility will allow your knees to travel over your toes and will help to stay upright throughout the lift. i m pretty sure you know all this but you both weren t wearing heeled shoes maybe because that due to that. apart from that keep up the good work.
