"Fuck you, Mark." I fucking LOVE this channel.
all jokes aside "opening the taint" vs "knees out" literately saved my squat... just that little mental cue revolutionized my squat and fixed 90% of my problems... thank you ed... thank you..

@@jasonblahafitness1766 had to Google that one myself, it's basically the area from your balls to your a-hole. If you stand in your squat position and try to open that area, you'll feel your knees going out.
Ed Coan is GOAT. Part how to squat, part history lesson in powerlifting and all parts awesome. Mark, you Jacked Metrosexual, you're really stepping up the KZread videos, no one else is bringing content like this.

Mark you are truly changing the game for a lot of people. Before your podcasts and videos I never knew who Stan Efferding, Eric Spoto, Dan Green, Ed Coan, and many others were. You're educating the masses on the greats of powerlifting that otherwise would be totally clueless. Thank you sir.

Part 1 - Getting under the Bar 4:35 Your stance is determined by what is comfortable for you. This is determined by invisible variables such as muscle, tendon, ligament and joint geometry. Muscular Tension: Push every lower spine muscle into the spine, and ever upper spine muscle into a locked tense position Arch the MID back 2:14 The Importance of a Routine Preparatory Phase regardless of the Bar’s weight Part 2 - The Walk out (40%> Take tiny steps, with a long pause in between steps to avoid the Vibrations. Part 2 - Standing with the Bar on your Back Part 3 - Going down 3:40 Do not push the Knees our, rather sit back by opening up the Groin Part 4 - The Concentric Explosion 3:15 The Back must be pushed back up into the bar as you push with the Legs, causing the chest to move forward 8:55 This back motion is absolutely essential to the Concentric. Your back will round if its not done. It is also possible your back is too weak for the squat.

Hey Mark. I tore my meniscus 2 years ago, and only had surgery 4 months ago. I haven't been able to squat at all in the past 2 and a half years because of this; whenever I get anywhere near parallel it feels like someone is stabbing me in the knee. I just tried the cue in this video about opening up in the groin, opposed to pushing the knees out... I FELT NO PAIN AT ALL! This has quite literally been a life changer. Thank you for the great video!

sonic34314 True. Squat and deadlift are overcomplicated. Coan doesn't squat with textbook style. Do whatever you gotta do to squat and get back up without losing balance. You'll find out for yourself what the best bar position is, stance width, forward tilt etc. They all depend on one another and time will learn what works for you.
@akw1312
7 жыл бұрын
True but there is a certain point where everyone can do the same thing and benefit from it. Every one is either going high bar or low bar, that's it. So, I think we can take pieces of info from each squatter such as the squeezing all muscles as Coan was saying, it's important to do that when lifting anything over 315 IMO... But yes we are all differet, yet, we can all learn from listening to squatting advice.

7:13 "a strong-ass muscle back there" hahah, good one
The information in this video is OUTSTANDING! Loves it!
Videos like these got me squatting. Most gym bros don't squat because it's hard. I started out with those gym bros. I stepped out on my own and it changed my life in the gym.
The greatest of all time in powerlifting and no doubt an athlete of the same caliber as Ali and Jordan. Yet so few know him compared to beluga whales like Phil Heath. A shame really. Great video on a positive note Mr. Coan seems like a really great guy always wanting to help.
It doesn't get much better than with Eddy Fucking Coan!
I've always been way critical of my squat and always looking for ways to improve. Even after consistently looking, watching and reading about squatting this video proves that there's always more to learn and to apply. Thanks for the vid.
Great vid. I can confirm the feedback ed gave about high bar and pause squats. I just started doing those a month ago and I feel stronger every week. It's always great watching Ed Coan videos. Thanks. :)
You getting the lilliebridges in for these kinds of videos any time soon?
"I was gonna say with you bent over I can hear the ocean " 13:10 fucking funny
Watched the video yesterday, and went to the gym afterwards. The open your taint thing really helped fix some depth issues and knee pain I was occasionally having with squats. Thank you Ed Coan!

More videos with Ed Coan please! Just got back home from the greatest squat workout of my life and had to give thanks. Plateaued at a measly 225lb squat for my 155lb bodyweight for at least a month. Tried different cues like in Chris Duffin's bracing video but wow… just wow. Literally just those few cues from Mr. Coan (especially about pushing up through the bar with the back) and the weight felt completely different. Thank you to the Super Training team and to Mr. Coan!
Ed is to the left but his voice is coming from the right, Mark is to the right but his voice is coming from the left.

I feel like I should probably watch this once or twice a month, just for reminders of all the different cues. Or maybe I just need a training partner shouting, "Open up your taint!"
Great points about opening the groin rather than pushing the knees out and driving up with the whole body rather than just the legs.
Wow, thanks for a great video. A real treat from the great one, Ed Coan. Thanks, Mark.
