    The most helpful cue I have yet seen, to prevent straightening up too early, came from Jonathon Sullivan. His 'wall of power' cue. Imagining your butt is touching a wall behind you at the bottom then sliding your butt up the wall, maintaining contact with the (imaginary) wall as you come up.

    If you are talking about the hips shooting up, and the upper back falling behind, you are right, that does happen with heavy weights. It's also the reason you cannot lift even heavier weights. If the hips are moving, and the bar isn't moving commensurate with the hips, work is not being done against the bar. It is therefore waste. If efficiency is the objective. If somebody is leaving the bar behind, you can always get pounds out of their squat by getting them to take the bar with them in training. The cues that help to prevent that breakdown in training, will help to prevent missed lifts at heavier lifts when maxing. You just won't see it because there will still be breakdown. That's the difference between form, and technique, you can see form, but you can't see technique. Training people in the pattern that they will break down to under a heavy enough load isn't inherently bad because you are not training strength athletes. It takes more technical precision to drive your back up against the bar while keeping it over the mid foot, as well as getting your hips through after you pass parallel, and most people could do without that complexity. I don't have a problem with what y'all have going on here as long as you call it what it is. This is a disadvantaged variation that is more accessible to recreational lifters. There isn't one world class squatter, raw or equipped that is trying to stay bent over as long as they can. There is not one that thinks it's okay if the hips are not moving commensurate with the barbell. The way y'all sell this variation it seems like you are implying that you found something everybody else missed. Even with the deadlift. They are pulling the slack out of the bar while getting into position, not starting in the wrong position because they didn't learn the starting strength method, Either that, or in strongman events deadlifts for reps get squattier because the low back doesn't clear metabolites as fast as the legs. Either that, or you have short armed, long torso lifters who have to start with their hips further back to line up their arms over the bar while keeping the bar in a good position. You didn't find the way when it comes to the deadlift either. You found a way, that normies can do. Laymen can learn all this now, so it's time to keep it real...

    This is one of the best explanations of what hip drive is and is not. The question I have after watching this is about the end of the squat movement: it looks like you end up doing a good morning at the end of the rep if you don't start to lift your chest earlier. Wouldn't that put a lot of strain on your lower back? Thoughts?

    It loads the back, but I think they would say that we're trying to work the back so the loading is useful. To avoid back injury, the Valsalva maneuver is used along with an extended thoracic and lumbar spine. The breath is held and pushed against and the resulting pressure and muscle tightness support the spine.

    Hip drive is key!! Rarely mentioned. One thing about the squat. She is almost doing a good morning. While anatomy will dictate much of the upper body angles, I see way too many people sitting back on a squat. The knees and hips should break at the same time, not throwing the hips back. A squat is a great quad movement. By throwing the hips back, you lose so much of the quad activation. Hence, that lean forward and late hip movement. While I won’t say it’s bad to have some hop back movement, the weight should not be on the heels, but on the whole foot.

I tried fixing it and I started having a bit of lower back pain out of nowhere, I was so confused I thought it was from the heavy RDLs that I was doing, I stopped them for 1 session, pain was still there, the next time I honestly had forgotten about my squat technique and I squatted the way I normally do which I noticed the next day when I had no pain and took a look at the recordings I had done and that's when I noticed I was squatting with my hips again, I got mad for a second that I had forgotten, but then a second later I was like "well damn, no back pain though, I guess I'll just keep doing them the way I've always done".

    Constructive Criticism: Too many words. The problem with saying too much is that people tune out, forget what was said, and worst of all the tendency to be self-contradictory (Ex: "the body adjusts itself" [1:20] then "the weight adjusts itself" [1:40]). People don't care about moment arms, fulcrums, the spine of the scapula, angles in degrees, etc. Unless they ask questions, the best directions are "butt back, chest down, knees out" [8:50]. I've read two editions of Starting Strength and have been using the program for over 10 years, so I fully understand the depth of knowledge being conveyed, but I think more people would be willing to try if the instructions were made more simple. Starting Strength videos should have at least three more orders of magnitude in views---because every single living body needs this program. "Stay Strong"

    Right, this is good for the majority of people but I take issue with how black and white this is presented. This is all in relation to how my existing muscle mass is distributed to begin with. Someone with proportionally strong quads and weaker posterior chain may actually be stronger with a slightly more upright position, and training (submaximally) with a more upright position will bias your quads over time and turn you into a more "quad dominant" lifter. Additionally, if you wish to squat deeper than parallel (something Starting Strength vehemently argues against with this arbitrary idea of "effective range of motion") then you have no choice but to substitute some of that hip drive for leg drive. Using footage of Clarence Kennedy to make this point is a bit disingenuous. He is well known for being posterior dominant and using his back a lot in all of his lifts. Look instead at his fellow countryman Eoin Murphy, who moves similar loads with an intentionally much more upright leg dominant form. Now, I agree most people tend to under-utilize their hips when squatting, and that over-emphasize it for some period of their training might help unlocking that balance between hips and knees more easily, but I disagree with the notion that "this is how you must squat to get stronnnnggg".

    The way you feel and the way you look are two different things. Get some objective feedback by recording yourself and even better by asking a coach for a form check. It could be that your anthropometry makes it so that your back angle feels more vertical in order to be correct or it could be that you are simply bending over too much and shooting the hips back on the way up

    When you set your knees at the beginning of the squat, they're gonna be above your toes more or less by the time you're halfway down. You wanna keep them there until you are halfway up. Your butt is shooting back because you are confusing hip drive with knee extension. If the hips go back it's because you extended the knees without acually moving up, and your back angle will be too horizontal. If you keep your knees over your toes as you come up, you will realize how to drive your hips or sacrum up instead of back, and maintain your back angle

    Might be a kneeslide problem in the bottom. Back angle and knee position needs to be established before the bottom part of the movement so that the stretch reflex/bounce comes from the hip and not from knees sliding forward changing the leverage and thereby forces on the knee. Look for a movement when you rebound to see if there is some exagerated movement forward. Usually comes with a more vertical back angle(opening of the hip angle) aswell which both kills the momentum built by the stretch reflex from hip extensors. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Lifting the big toes for a while can force you back into the midfoot in balance. Most likely you are relaxing some of the hip musculatur when you try to reach for depth instead of embracing the tightness anticipating the stretch reflex and therefore also pushing the knees more than needed forward. The body often wants to do what's comfortable and easy instead of keeping tight. Typical que might be "Stay in the hip!", maybe even "Freeze the knees" when they are forward and out in correct position aswell. Please correct me if I am wrong(SSC).

    The movement is exaggerated when shown with no or little load on the bar. They emphasize the fact that back angle needs to stay the same, which means hips and upper back come up at the same time with heavy enough weights. But because the moment arm is bigger on the hips, you are using the posterior chain to start the movement out of the hole. If you think about lifting your chest you end up not using that musculature. If you think about driving your hips/low back/sacrum up to the ceiling, you will use the muscles that kee the back angle horizontal while producing the most force. As Nick said, as long as the hips go UP and not back, it's ok if the chest has some delay in coming up

    This is an apples to oranges comparison when using Clarence Kennedy videos as the "wrong" example. Kennedy squats high bar, so the mechanics are different. He also squats in excess of 600 lbs--in the video, he's got 595 lbs on the bar--so some slowing is normal at near maximal loads.

    I appreciate the low bar squat as taught by SS. My question is, why do people have the tendency to want to get upright? If while under a near-maximal load, the body finds the most mechanically advantageous position, why fight against the tendency to get upright if that is what the body is attempting to do in order to move the load? Or, if being more bent over (say midway through the squat) is more advantageous, why does the body have a natural tendency to become more upright, given the body adjusts its position to complete the movement.

  • @startingstrength

    Because getting upright is the ingrained movement pattern that occurs when standing up from a squat. When you add a barbell and a bunch of load, the mechanical problem requires that you keep the hips loaded, unlike just standing up from chair or unweighted squat.

    I've been struggling for a long time with asymmetric squats. When the weight gets heavy, I push forward with my right hand, and load my front knee, and my right heel comes off the ground. I've tried tempo squats, lowering the weight, pause squats... but the problem persists at heavier weights.

    I don’t get the looking down at the floor during a squat. Makes it look more like you’re doing a set of good mornings. I learned from national caliber powerlifters in the early 80s to keep your head up and look up, especially if you’re tall or thin. This keeps you more erect throughout the squat. Or so I was lead to believe.

    I respect the starting strength way of teaching the squat but it is certainly on one end of the spectrum being fairly posterior chain dominant and focused on the highest squat weight possible. If you are not a powerlifter and just lifting for muscle mass and/or health, why wouldn't you make the squat more quad dominant (knee forward, more upright back angle) since the deadlift is already your main posterior chain builder?

    1) Low-bar involves more muscles, ergo more weight, ergo more training stimulus 2) The high-bar squat puts more stress on your knees (and not the good kind of stress) 3) Big quads in the absence of a proportional upper body looks horrendous PS - I say this as someone who started off with the high-bar squat and still incorporate them into my training

    11:27 I think there's a hidden motivation behind why they used Clarence Kennedy's footage as an example of how not to do squats. Two years ago, Zack Telander released a video exposing Mark Rippetoe's lack of knowledge about Olympic weightlifting, and the response they gave to that video was terribly poor. The video is called "Rip Responds to Confused KZread Strength Coaches," and it's an example of how not to respond to valid criticism. Zack and Clarence are friends and have made many videos together. Those who follow Olympic weightlifting channels always agree on one thing: Mark Rippetoe is a great teacher for beginners, but falls short with more advanced athletes. It's a recurring joke among weightlifting coaches on KZread to quote some of Mark Rippetoe's statements that demonstrate his lack of knowledge about the sport, and that's why I believe they used Clarence as a bit of payback.

    That's interesting, I think I watched the same video. Rips comment I believe was "when was the last time the US has placed in Olympic weight lifting?" People can say what they want, but losing athletes and coaches don't get to brag until they win. Which I think is fair criticism.

    ​@@djscottybez Less than two weeks ago, Miller Morris established a new world record, and Olivia Reeves achieved the highest snatch ever by an American. This is excellent news for the sport and suggests that Rippetoe's criticism might stem more from hubris than from a fair assessment. Ironically, his disdain for other methodologies lacks support from any significant achievements in the sport.

    I just don't get it.... I mean, that doesn't seem like "hip drive" to me. At one point you're basically fully loading the spine to lift the weight up to vertical. That will ABSOLUTELY destroy your discs. Especially if you have bulging diaca or hernias... This to me is plain BAD ADVICE (if she's doing it "correctly").
