Some while ago, I actually hurt my knee while doing an incorrect form of squats. I waited to heal and your video convinced me to start again, thanks (:

Thank you, I appreciate all of your hard work in researching everything and putting it out on a simple platform for teens like me who want to learn the safe and correct way to train. Keep up the fantastic work!

Love your channel dude. I have a formal background in physics, biomechanics, and physiology and everything you say is spot on. It's really appreciated that you take the time to read the research, and get educated on the topics you are discussing. Keep lifting hard and smart!

"Is this guy just another musclehead with a form video?" As soon as that scientific paper came out, I knew I was in the right place.

Holy crap. I've lived in fear of squats for years now because every time I would do one, my knees felt like they were trying to kill themselves. But this video singlehandedly saved my poor joints. Subbed and liked. Think I found my new favorite channel.

Love these videos, Jeff! I recommend them to my clients all the time (as well as the fundamentals series for those wanting more explanation behind their programs)! I'm finishing my Exercise Science Degree currently and I love watching these videos after class and being able to finish your sentences!

I appreciate how in depth you go. You give such clear and concise instructions without losing that depth! So good.

I’m so glad you talked about knees not having to be behind the toes because I never could get those bitches back there. No mater how much mobility training I did, it always felt terribly awkward.

I’ve literally been hurting my wrists for 3 years of lifting and I looked at your hand placement on this and no more pain when squaring. You’re the goat for that!

I’ve been doing your program for about a month now, and I’m really enjoying it. It’s very challenging, and I’m already starting to see results

Can't recall ever seeing a better breakdown of the forces involved and the steps of each movement, so that's going to have to be a subscribe for me.

Thank you so much I’m finally doing complete full range of motion due to the foot placement and learned to take the pressure off my back and learned to keep my back from curving over thank you so much

His form is so beautiful

This helps a ton! So many things covered in one video and so concise for the amount of information included. I feel like this combines the last 10+ videos I've watched on squatting.

I’m glad I found you l. One of the best fitness KZreadr by far. Many youtuber only tells you what do, but Jeff tells you what to do, how to perform it correctly, what not to do while explaining in a clear fashion. 👍

Was suffering from shoulder pain from squatting rn and looked up a form video and after watching your video my squat form and quad activation feels so much better definitely using the grip style you mentioned helped tremendously Thank you Mr nippard

Jeff I remember when you had around 70k and now you're almost at 1 million. Congrats! You deserve it

Your form is out of this world... textbook movement. Outstanding.

I watch this every time I squat. It reminds me of the right and safe way to do the exercise. I love this tutorial vid.

Just got a barbell and a rack for Christmas and cant wait to try them out today! Thanks for the great advice jeff :) you‘ve helped me a lot throughout my fitness journey and its always nice to know that i have a reliable source of information.

When you go into Gymbro mode it's hilariously accurate. Shirt off, too heavy, terrible form, headphones. So funny

Another crucial component you didn't mention is this video is flexibility. For the longest time I had an insanely difficult time doing a deep squat without having a butt wink. I realized it was happening because my hips and ankle dorsiflexion flexibility were causing this and now I'm more flexible and don't have a butt wink anymore during deep squats.

Dude, I never leave comments but I'm so impressed with your technique. So much attention to detail and it makes sense! Specifically the "tighten the abs" tip. I always wondered about that. It never seemed right. I'm assuming for deadlift that "to tighten the abs" is somewhat of a flawed technique? Anyhow, outstanding video and very valid. We need more videos like this one on youtube.

One of the best squat instructional videos. Thank you so much for your contribution to educating and providing accurate information amidst a sea of misinformation or half information.

This is the best video on squats. So detailed and well-edited. Thank you

Thanks for all your videos and podcasts! When I first learned to squat, I was told the push knees out cue and I would lose tension. Later I learned twist your feet into the ground and it fixed my knees from coming in and felt much more powerful. Might be worth a try to see if it helps any of your clients.

My doctors told me to stop training with heavy weights completly because I have listhesis but honestly since I startet deadlifting and squatting my back feels so much better and more secure. I started with a very low weight and very slowly worked my way up. I'm even training without a belt or any kind of accessory because I feel like as ling as I dont get problems, it will secure my back even more... Thanks for the video it realky helps me to keep my form good and prevent injuries :)

Squatting is honestly not worth it you have a bad back. If its your only option for a leg compound movement then maybe, but start real light. There's just so many safer options out there that are equally effective if not moreso for overall leg development imo

Hands down, in 2023 still the best squat explanation in the internet. Thank you Sir!

I really love this video! It really helped me get down my squat form. However, I don't really like the queue to push your gut out against your belt. The best queue for core bracing that I've found, is Alan thrall's queue of imagining someone is about to punch you in the gut. You definitely brace in a very similar way. Other than that great video! Love from New Mexico.

As a corporate trainer, I wonder if people appreciate just how well done this video is. The animations, angles, explanations.. this is all PhD-level adult learning theory. Really well done.

My boyfriend is 6’5”, 205lbs, and I squat so much heavier than him at 5’2” 110lbs. He also bought a barbell pad and uses it when doing squats much to my horror. (He won’t even try deadlifting-not even after I tried to explain to him its great for the back). When it comes down to it I know since he’s so tall that’s probably why it’s harder for him. I have enough quads for the both of us.
