Stop Squatting Like This (AWFUL!!)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you are looking to improve your squat, then this is a must watch video for you. When it comes to a well executed squat, bar path cannot be overlooked. The fastest and most efficient path from point A to point B is a straight line. The more efficient you are with a movement, the more weight you will be able to move and therefore the more gains you will see from your training.

When I’m correcting an athletes bar path in the squat there are a few things I look at. How is the bar descending and then how is it ascending as the athlete comes out of the bottom of the squat. A common flaw is to pitch the head forward. A common cause for this particular fault is quad weakness. In the case of quad weakness the body attempts to recruit the stronger muscles of the posterior chain.
This is easily diagnosed by asking the athlete to perform a pause squat. Often the ability to properly hold a squat in the bottom position under control will reveal that it is not the quads as to do a paused squat properly requires significant quad strength. Some other causes for improper bar path are poor set up, lack of mobility; especially dorsiflexion in the ankle. Inefficient bar path could also indicate a weakness in the upper back specifically in the scapular retractors.
If an athlete has a strong upper back, it’s possible that they lack the muscular endurance to maintain it. They can stay tight in the set up but somewhere during the lift they get lax and lose the requisite upper back rigidity causing them to lurch forward. The last cause that we’ll cover in this video is habitual patterning. This is often caused by a previous injury that the athlete has sustained.
As a response to an injury the body will sometimes develop inefficient movement patterning to accommodate the injury. Once the injury heals the patterning has become so ingrained in the athletes movement that they continue to demonstrate it.
Whatever the reason is for your crooked bar path you need to address it. There’s no point slapping more weight on the bar and fooling yourself into thinking that you’re getting stronger. All you are doing is putting the problem off until it refuses to be ignored. That usually comes in the form of an injury and when you’re talking about the king of all exercises, the squat, there’s often hundreds of pounds of weight involved. Not a good idea.
If you want to get stronger and move better not just with the squat but on every lift you do then you have to start focusing on doing the things that help you to improve at every opportunity. Athletes take every element of their training seriously and leave no room for error. If you are looking to train like an athlete and get more out of every workout you do, head to athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Hello Jeff, I have been following you for the past year, with your help, expertise and incredible workout insight you have truly help me transformed my body, loosing over 40 lbs while adding muscle at 64 years young, yes 64. Also went from a size 40 to 36 pants. So I am contacting you for some advice, just a week ago while lifting an air conditioner I felt a click on my left knee, just had an X Ray and mri performed, which showed a small meniscus lateral tear. I was told since it is small the best solution is to go in and file down the tear but I will to rest for about three weeks. The other option since I never had swelling nor do I feel pain is to leave it alone and try physical therapy. Not sure which route to go, would appreciate your honest professional opinion. Sadly I will put my workouts to a stop until i decide. Again, thanks for putting science back into workout, great videos I am sure have helped millions. All the best, James.

Dude this is seminar material. You are the truth. I appreciate and absolutely love the comprehensive material! 🤓
This is one of the most beneficial videos I've seen. Thank you, I see my own problem and its really an easy fix.
Everytime I watch an ATHLEAN-X video I get new ideas on how to improve my training program and improve my training as well. Less pain and more results and I LOVE IT.
You are coming with a backup solution in every video you post, I have my ankle problem, I move and I lose balance, in this video you come with the solution for it. You are something else, thank you Jeff. Great work, I really appreciate every advice you give.
Dude! Your ability to explain this stuff clearly is awesome and extremely useful. I find myself watching these videos in my spare time just to be reminded of the nuances that lead to excellent workouts. I’m a beginner at only 145 pounds, but the amount of strength gains I’ve been able to make has been incredible since I’ve started following your videos. Quality over quantity, and your videos are amazing in both regards. Thanks for all the help!
One of my favorite correction videos you’ve ever done. I’m so guilty of this! I never even considered my scapular contraction. I do pause reps because it makes me more cognizant of keeping my hips tight to avoid knee valgus. Thanks, Jeff!
Jeff you’re the best! Thank you for all the positive vibe and great advices you give
This video helped my squat immensely. I couldn’t figure out why I kept driving forward, it was all in my placement and not squeezing my back properly. Thanks man!
I have been applying you advice with my workout regimen, and I have noticed that the pain in my lower back has vanished. Now, I am able to perform movements more efficiently and gain better results.
Thank you for doing this. I’ve incorporated some of these things and I’ve been able to bench despite my old shoulder injuries.l, and squat despite old lower back disk injuries. Respect.
Great tips in this video. Thanks Jeff. What an excellent channel. Free and factual information given for free. God bless you and your team for all your hard work.

I could feel that forward lurch going on with my last leg day.
i've worked out for decades and never had the importance of keeping focus on a tightened scapula during the squat emphasized as you do here. It explains a lot about how many gains I've missed despite the hard work put in at the gym.

Hello Jeff! Thank you for your great content! I have a question about this video; not on the Squat, but rather on how you're doing Face Pulls. In another video, you're explaining how the wrists wins the race over elbows when travelling backwards in Face Pulls. However, that's not what I'm seeing here. Wanted to know more about the differences between the two forms! Thank you in advance, and I appreciate your work.

@MightyAntelope

I believe it’s because the purpose of facepulls here instead of say other videos is that this is for the stability and strength of the lower traps in order to hold the weight on the back well, in contrast to normally beating the elbows with the wrist as that is more mechanically targeting the rotator cuff which is structurally weak with the large proportion of people and useful for most upperbody push movements, hope this helped at all

Great advice! Always looking forward to more videos!!
Great video, Jeff - as someone with terrible squat form, I appreciate it!
