1. When unrack, neutral back, bring hips underneath, unpack with hips and legs. 2. Flex hips. 3. Air in through the nose, finish through the mouth, push air down and out through obliques.

That is only in PART from the squat, like 90% of it, but I bet you she does lots of lighter leg extensions, which create that imbalance, which she does have, they are disproportionate to her hamstrings.... don't get me wrong, I am a regular man, and overall, I agree, great legs!! ---------And the rest of her too!! She would do best to balance that with Lunges so her hams and ass (which is great) is more proportionate... Still, I don't think any man would kick her out of his bed for that.....LOL One additional reason is that her knees are NOT too forward (which is good) but they are too CLOSED (which is bad) for maximal weights, she would break her own records if she just OPENED her KNEES out more as she descended keeping the rest of her technique the same. She is hot, just saying "open her knees" game a twitch... but that is what is needed for improved safety and ability to add weight to that bar.

The "be very deliberate about it" tip was brilliant. "I should be able to see you take in your air from across the room". Excellent. That actually made it click on my head/it's one line that will make me remember all the cues

This changed my life. Thanks for everything, Chad and juggernaut.

How to unrack: - Bring hips underneath you, and lift with the legs and hips 2:13 Breathing: the idea is to create tension in the body 1. While unracking - inhale, and on the exhale push the air down and out in to the obliques (sides of the stomach) 2:24 2. While holding the bar - squeeze the butt (stabilizes the spine and hips) inhale through the nose and exhale down and out in to the obliques (cue: push your obliques out with your breath) 2:58

I like how you're breaking this down in separate videos. The previous one helped my form immensely. Still working on it. Marissa Inda-- looking strong and beautiful as always. Very inspirational. Thanks for the good material and congrats on coming back and getting stronger after your injury, Chad.

This is an excellent series of videos, thank you.

Things I have found out on my own, being validated by you Chad is a huge blessing. Lets me know I'm on the right track!

this is pure gold. thanks

definitely good imagery cueing , love it!

Please tell me your gonna do a series on the other powerlifts

Thank you for these videos and being very articulate and professional as you talk. The intelligence is quite noticeable when one can speak without a lot of cursing.

very good pointers thank you

Holy crap, that squeeze your glutes before bracing tip is amazing. I never though of it as a way to neutralise the spine before bracing. Just finished squatting and they haven't felt that good in years.

Yeahhh, If you could just go ahead and release all the parts today, that would be greeaat. #helpme

Definitely have had a similar experience with breathing out. It feels like it pulls my spine out of alignment too. I have been trying to breath into my pelvic floor. I will try the oblique breathing. Thank you.

Exactly. When I squeeze my glutes, I shift to a position exactly similar to lockout position of the deadlift. Hips move under.

This video has taught me alot. Flexing your glutes and creating tension in the oblix. Do you flex (tense) your glutes the whole way down and back up ?

Great session, Chad and Marisa. Two questions: 1. does this series apply to both high bar and low bar squat? 2. I notice that Marisa keeps her feet together when unpack the bar, is there a reason or just personal preference?

Well, this completely changes my perception of proper breathing, I can still make huge improvements here

i couldnt understand it i need to see the belly. like do you contract the abs after you take the breath or you push them out?

Create 360 degrees of intra-abdominal pressure. 0:36 Bad breathing techniques can cause back problems. Cueing to breathe into belly is not enough, need to breathe into the sides as well. This causes abs to push forwards which can cause low back extension, need a neutral spin before squatting. 2:25 Focus on pushing air down and out, create tension through the obliques. Squeeze your glutes to prevent them from going behind the bar. 3:56 90/90 Degree Breathing Drill - used to teach and train diaphragmatic breathing. Common Mistake - breathing into the chest and shoulders, rather than abs and pushing out through the obliques. It causes chest and shoulders to rise and even the bar.

Chris Ruffin made a video recently on the squat about using your last to brace but I'm still a little unsure to exactly what he meant could you cover this?

Chris Duffin!

I don't know how to push my obliques out. Is there a cue or method for doing it?

Do you breath out while ascending again or only when you're fully up? Cheers for the explanation video!

@JuggernautTrainingSystems

Max S only when fully up. When you’re moving the weight you want to have maximum tension and exhaling causes a loss of tension.

Great video. But how do You take air in from the nose and mouth at the same time? 😉😉😉😉

What kind of superhuman do i need to be to control my breathing direction?

1:23 hot diggity this is some good stuff

I needed this

I struggle to replicate proper breathing technique for the later reps in the set, do you have any tips?

Good video thank you I'm 67 and still squat. Not as much as I use to do but I grand it out! Lol

I would mention a difference in breathing in Russian vs US powerlifters. Most American lifters tend to take a deep breath and then even pause for a second before starting a negative movement. Russians almost never do that. It is either a very short inhale and immediately starting descending or, even more often, breath in at the same time they start descending. Even more so, many do continue breathing in (inhaling air) on the way down. For example, look how Malanichev squats. You don't see him getting a deep breath in before starting a lift. He breathes is as he is doing the negative movement. Watch Belkin's 380kg squat at the BoB 4, he continues breathing in as he is going down (he also continues breathing in as he does a positive movement during deadlifts). Same for Aleksey Nikulin. etc.

@JumpDiffusion

Yes, makes sense. Actually, forgot to mention Zahir, who is by any account a top 5 best squatter of all time. He also takes a very short deep breath and immediately goes down while continuing breathing in. Btw, I am not saying Russian way is better or more efficient, there are plenty of outstanding US lifters. And yes, treating every squat the same (i.e. keeping the form) makes sense. In fact, Ed Coan always advises to do that.

Would that type of intra abdominal pressure be bad for the pelvic floor muscles?

I don’t get the oblique part I suck as much air in leave my belly out and squeeze my abs then squat breathe at the top etc

when do I breath in and when out? at what rhythm?

Can someone provide a link to apt breathing video seen at 1:15 with Chad and Quinn?

I'm still confused with the "bracing" part. Are you supposed to contract your abs as if you were trying to hide a beer belly OR expand the abs outwards?

Should we flex the glutes or squeeze them forward as much as we can

my head popped off and landed in poop, but got a PR so, thx Juggernaut

As far as I am concern if you brace so hard that you feel like you are pooping you are making it wrong. You can also develop rectum problems.

Thanks guys for the vid. I've heard this concept long ago and while squatting beltless it was really hard to figure out if I was doing it right. Once I started wearing a belt, I was able to actually feel the tightness in my lower back/oblique area by how i was pushing against the belt. Just something that really helped me, thanks again for the vid, very informative as usual!

After breathing all that air in, do you try to push your abs out or tighten them down. I do not wear a belt. So usually I try to belly breathe and then contract my abs. Is that wrong? Should I be pushing out?

@Juggernaut: are you going to explain on foot position during the lockout/set up? U didn't say anything about it during the set-up video. Some people like to lock out in squad stand, others put 1 foot forward and lock it out that way. Which one you prefer and why?

Unrack with your feet even. One foot forward puts the stress much more on that leg, so you're lifting the weight with one leg instead of two.

sailor boots review please

I'm curious why her legs are so close together and her head is up. For the head up im wondering doesn't that put unnecessary extension on the cervical spine? For the legs thing i guess its just impressive she's able to hit depth like that. Plus for a low bar squat the back angle seems more vertical than I'm used to seeing. Idk I could have no idea what I'm talking about but those things seem to contradict what I've learned about low bar squatting. Some insight would be appreciated.

Everyone will have slightly different squat technique due to limb lengths, socket structures, mobility and so on. You need to figure out what works for you, and also how to improve your mobility so that you can employ as much ROM as you can.

Never seen that narrow stance

But most expert says you breath out as you go up and she is not breathing out her mouth is closed as going up

Of the options of your head popping off or you pooping your pants - let’s hope it’s the one where you don’t die!! 😂😂💩💩

Wish she wears tighter form fitting top so that I can see her posture better.

I don't see how this many very experienced instructors fail to mention the second half of the breathing&bracing process. All they talk about is to push the abs out in whatever direction they suggest, which you can't really control anyway, but you don't hear them telling you to contract your abs (rectus, ex obliques, int obliques and most importantly transversus abdominis aka your built-in lifting belt), effectively sucking your belly in, which is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of the first part, against closed throat, anus and urethra. #valsalva

Her left vastus medialis looks strange.... injury?

that girl is beautiful, my god! I fell in love

This guy is MUCH better informed than 99% of the coaches out there, the one at my gym is a complete idiot. Talking about the best squatters, it surprised me he didn't ask her to widen her knees as she descended, just as the best squatters do, her weight on the bar should go up almost immediately within two or three workouts as soon as she gets used to that new stance AT THE BOTTOM... I would say the weight can go up by 10% if she did that, it is such a much stronger position. I don't mean extra wide knee, just stand up at the top with a slightly wider HEELS (not toes, the toes are just fine at that angle) and "throw" the knees OUT as you descend and they should be right over your toes and not wider than your feet.

@dwarf108

She's a shortie so she can definitely get away with a straight narrow stance. Usually the narrower the stance, the more quad activation.

I disagree with "the type of pressure you want to generate" but that is minor issue, pressure is needed, but pushing your abs OUT is a bad idea, "bracing" the abs after a good breath is better, but without INTENTIONALLY pushing the abs out. His abs are already out permanently... LOL (Sorry you left it wide open there buddy, just a joke)
