Holy quads

most professional and best info for weightlifting/powerlifting I've found
This 5 pillar series broke me out of a serious rut and got me back on track - thank you Team JTS!
You should get Kristen and Marisa Inda to hava a quad show, I don't know who would win it, and I don't care.
I'm in love with Kristen's quads.
Great stuff guys, thank you so much for creating this video series!
Awesome series! Thank you for making these videos!
Fantastic. Thank you so much for this great series
Great series of videos....been a great help to dial in my squatting....big thanks 😊
Loving this serious! Thanks Juggernaut and Chad!
Oh my god, your cues and content are so phenomenal!!!
Great video again !! I'm at the end of the JTS program (3 rep wave / week 2), the video and the manual on the 3 lifts you published help a lot.
Great info I'm gonna use it in my squats.
This tip made the biggest difference in my technique. No more hip rise, just a solid squat!
I don't know whose eyes to stare into in this video

superb guide! I learn a lot here, thx Chad
Your squat cues have really helped my squat a ton! Thanks for the great info as always!
Learned a lot, thanks
Great tutorial!
i've tested this and the cue about pushing the floor with your feet whilst pushing the bar with your upperback is great
Awesome!!! Thank you!
In one day of trying these 5 pillars I was so much stronger, thank u
wish that kristen had a youtube channel 😍

Man, I wish I saw these 5 pillars when I started squatting again two years ago, I've been stuck and had very unconfident squats sessions. Even when at my working weight the weight felt extra heavy even before descending. Watched your video at 2am, and wanted to go try but waited till today. I moved my grip further in on the bar, getting my back as tight as possible, now even un-racking the weight feels much lighter and stronger. Then implement the breathing bracing, this was night and day difference. Before I was breathing and bracing, but not as hard as you explained, I guess I was more holding my breath in my stomach, again I feel much stronger when bracing harder, and last squat everything like 135. Thanks again keep up the videos!!!! Where do I get me some Juggernaut Gear!!!
I think this has been the missing piece of my squat that's been causing me frustration all these years!! Thanks for this series, guys, it's been a tremendous help to so many people. Also, insert 'obligatory comment on how ridiculous her legs are' here
Every time I watch Chad's video , I learn something useful.

Greatly appreciate the series. I've been to a CWS seminar and the knowledge to be shared is amazing. #2 Breathing fixes most of the issues with my squat. That was the best thing I picked up... steel beam!

Nice serie, will you do the same with the deadlift?
look at those quads!
great!!
Hey Chad, When you walk the weight out, are we looking down to make sure our feet is even? Or should we keep looking forward and practice placing our feet at the same place, hopefully even, everytime? Cause I think my hips are uneven and my legs tend to be staggered, yet it feels normal!
1:48 Head: Neutral Position 2:24 Create even pressure by pushing your upper back into the bar and with feet into the floor out of the hole. Maximize both strength of the legs and back as you lift weight.
Loved this series and your channel, so informational.Christen starts the decend by breaking at the hips. Is that related maybe to patellar tendonitis? I have read it helps when you have that problem as I have.
Best in the game JTS and RP
Can’t wait for the deadlift pillars
Omg her legs 😍😍😍
I'm always amazed at how these people can grip the bar so close to their shoulders. Also, Holy shit! Look at her legs! 1:13
I personally don't push into the bar with my upper back. I push up into the bar with my arms like im doing a OHP. I think which one u chose to do is dependent on how high or low bar you squat Because generally high bar squatters want their arms vertical whilst low bar squatters want their arms in line with their back angle. That changes the cue
Watching and re-watching this series fixed my good morning squat and helped me make sense of some odd cues i was given. Great info always by JTS!
Kristen is dreamy
Can I ask, does it matter if the bar is slightly squint, as in you have more surface of the bar on your left shoulder for example and if someone looked at you side on the weights in the other side would look closer to your front?
Had to dump a squat over my head today. I'm going to study this series very closely.

0:22 Brutal.
coach i tend to look slightly down when i low bar squat around (60 degrees) and about neutral when high bar squat and i look slightly up when front squatting about 30 degrees. is this normal and why do you think i feel more balanced with different head position when the bar is in different position
Been following starting strength, a lot of this is very similar just said in a different way

how so? This is quite different in the fact that SS always mentions your head should be down, and that you should drive from your hips out of the squat. Over here, he says drive with the shoulders and keep head up/neutral... not sure who to believe.
i like this girl
i cant do lower back delts i need to do upper delt.... change a lot ?
Hey guys I figured since I already spend a considerable amount of time on my programming (research + actually making programs) I might as well make them public. If you want a free, well thought- through hypertrophy program or just some inspiration for your own training you can check it out on my channeI. I just want to give something back to this great community, I hope you like it!
It’s not very clear to me whether this is a high bar squat or low bar squat demonstration. It sounds like these are cues for the high bar but at 3:30 the vertical line that represents the bar path is behind the barbell and more where the bar would be placed in a low bar squat over the midfoot. Is she doing high bar squats?
Would pushing with the back apply to high bar as well?

Juggernaut Training Systems Hmm I see. Thanks your videos on foot and knee position have helped a lot✌️. You’ll be hearing my name soon
I'm not sure if I do this or not now I'm going to have to see I feel like this is just something people do subconscious I know when I'm going heavy I like to pause at the bottom and kind of flex bounce my outer quads with outward intension then explode up
what about hip drive?
What is the name of those Nikes?
What do you think of trying to break the bar with arm to activate the lat? Thks

Its fine. If that cue clicks for you, then use it.
Is the cue to 'push the upper back' into the bar when coming out of the hole meant for high bar squats and the cue to 'drive with your hips' (starting strength) meant for low bar squats?
@JuggernautTrainingSystems

Push with the upper back doesn't really come into play for high bar, that is a cue more for low bar. I wouldn't suggest thinking about driving the hips up first.

this ideology seems to go against starting strengths method.
What shoes is she wearing?
Great video! Just wondering, the knee technique at the start of the video seems wrong, knees are going inside which was wrong according to #4 kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoRl0MdwcZu1Zqw.html
Will there be similar videos for deadlift and bench?

Not sure who to believe.. this goes against the Starting Stregth method of driving up with the hips first and keeping your head down.

Kristen
Where is the hip draaaaahve?
I want my quads to look like her quads, wow 😳
I wonder why Layne Norton always say he good morning his squats because he has long femurs. 🤔 Isn't it just because he has a stronger back?
So what, kick Marisa out after 4/5 of this series? IT'S NOT THE SAME CHAD!!
She is distractingly beautiful. I had hard time to pay attention what Chad was saying.
