Another excellent demonstration.

Great video. Thank you for this.

I ALWAYS do squats inside the rack and ensure the safety bars are set for me at the proper height. Hands in tight is very uncomfortable for me also. It works for lifting off the pegs but once my feet are set I move my hands out just a bit to a spot that is comfortable, and away I go. UPDATE: I worked on squats as per your instructions. My body adapted to the more narrow grip width on the bar and the support position of the bar across my back. As of 4th session of squats (each session 3 warmups and 4 sets adding weight after each set) I no longer need the foam pad for the bar, it is actually more comfortable following your direction, I do the slight bend forward at the bottom of the squat which was more comfortable, and I virtually immediately increased in both the reps and lifting weight. THANK YOU!

Sending love to starting strength, im listening every podcast and i love it!! Also cant wait for the katlleball video 😂

Excellent tutorial

I’ve experienced in the past when I tried pulling my hands in tight I experience tendinitis in my elbows, so I stick with index fingers on the lone knurl marks on my Rogue Ohio power bar.

Did my first ever squat sets with barbell this morning and I had no idea what I was doing, so it was kind of scary. So glad I stumbled upon this video!

@@goutfromfriedokra3936 Correct. 1) The weight limitation is what you're able to hold in your hands, not what you can squat. Artificial limitation. 2) The loading increments aren't precise. 3) These favor a more vertical back angle, which means less muscle mass is being used.

@@xmoogoox Hi Ray, Is there another lift that can replace deadlift? I am doing bench, squat, overhead press...But want to do something other than deadlift...

UK lifter here, this stuff is Gold, I just need to put it into practice.

I didn't realize Ray was that jacked.

Hi there. Why not flat feet when doing a low bar? Tx

What about elbows during the squat? Do you try to point them 'back and up' to create even more of a shelf for the bar to sit on, or should elbows point down towards the floor?

I don't have any tattoos, will I need them to squat big weights?

I have been learning the Starting Strength Method and starting on the program. There are detailed explanations of all the mechanics throughout the book, but not much on the squat shoes. I totally get the incompressible sole, but as a convert to zero drop shoes (solved so many problems with running) I just can't put on a shoe with heels. I would rather put a 1/2 piece of plywood under my heel if it is really necessary, but I am looking for real world strength so I don't see the benefit. Seems contradictory to everything else in Starting Strength.

Plywood under the heels is sketchy if you're squatting heavy. The importance of shoes becomes clearer as the weight on the bar goes up.

Why have thumbs on top of the bar? Isn’t that less secure? (Newbie question)

@jannevihavainen

Жыл бұрын

Because you're not supposed to lift the bar with your hands when squatting, they're there just to push it in place. (Thumbs on top of the bar tends to make you 100% not lift it with your hands.)

I chalk my shoulders for grip. But only for the hubris, not for function.

Reebok legacy lifts. Either 2s or 3s.

Not everyone should squat with their toes pointing out. I need to, but depending on your (hip) anatomy you might be better off/need with toes forward. Squat University has a good video on this, search "choosing squat stance squat University" should bring it up.

Shouldn't you do your squats _inside_ the power rack?

Can you do a video with someone who has long femurs?

@chonzen1764

Жыл бұрын

Just have to have a good forward body lean. Its not really physically possible for someone with long femurs to squat low while staying vertical they would all over backwards. Fortunately, Starting Strength doesn't think that if its difficult its better so it doesn't' advise vertical back squatting.

I don't think I've ever done a squat correctly. Been working with a trainer for 6 months and he's still not happy with me. I think I'm built wrong or something. Or just stupid

“You wanna make sure you grip the bar as hard as possible” You could grip harder if you actually used your thumbs…

Lol. You were having fun staring at Courtney’s ass then all of a sudden it switched to her future husband. Like the cameraman played his own fun prank on the audience. What a pro.

Never seen an olympic lifter look his shoes at 250kg lift, i mean why you look down so hard.. Ive watch another videos who explain "why", but have no sense, if some elite for not say almost look up in a 500lbs lift (not power rockstars) True elite atlethes its like theres always a reason for bad technique or not. Did the perfect technique exist? even trying a lot of weight or PR?

who does her arms look so damn awkward and uncomfortable. never seen anyone with such a close grip like that

I can’t seem to find my balance point with the low bar squat even following the exact cues in this video. I feel like I’m falling forward, and also shifting to the right side. Any advice on that?

The close grip will destroy your shoulders in the long run.
