Another question- why don't you guys show videos of how to perform these exercises correctly? While I love the descriptions, I think it might be beneficial to demonstrate the proper form? I don't know. just a suggestion. Thanks, again. Great program.

I googled them as they talked. It was helpful.

After years of only doing yoga, Pilates and barre classes I’ve switched my routine, joined a gym and lift. I’m shocked at how hard doing squashed lunges are! I’m still not able to add any weight. Just using the bar, but starting to feel results. I’m sure it’ll take time. I appreciate all your podcasts and information. Finished MAPS Anabolic and loving this new journey in my health and fitness journey 🙏🏼

Omg! I have to tell you that I have been following Mind Pump for about 18months now and I have done A LOT of trial and error. I dirty bulked last year and put too much fat and weight but boosted my metabolism too. I also took your cardio advice a bit literally and stopped doing it almost completely. I did increase my step average though. This year, I started a cut and I AM FINALLY LOSING WEIGHT!!🎉🎉 I want to improve my VO2 max now, but I am so proud to have squatted 74kg (I'm only 5'1 and 47 years old and around 60kg ) 🎉🎉. Thank you Mind Pump for Maps Anabolic, which I am following. I have finally found a way of eating which is sustainable for me, even while cutting. I can't tell you how much that means to me😊. I finally feel less governed by food. I feel sooooooo amazing that the look I am going for is less important than having balance in my diet and being strong. 🎉🎉Once again, thank you!! Still watching avidly😊😊

My strength sky rocketed when I went hard on back squats. My quads got big when I focused on front squats. My legs turned into oak trees when I started doing Cossack squats frequently. Especially in the Landmine.

I only have access to dumbbells at home so I've been doing a goblet squat. I started with 35 lb and now I'm doing 45, getting my butt very close to the ground. I'm 5'2 and 100 lb, I don't know if this is a good weight for me but it definitely feels heavy. Hopefully this is good for now, I had better listen to this episode!

Thank y’all so much for this ! Implementing today 💕

anabolic was always my fave but I'm in maps15 and my goodness!!! didnt realize how much I needed this switch. much more energized and recovery feels much easier!!! absolutely luff you guys!

My legs are definitely my weakness. Whatever I do, I feel knee pain. I use dumbbells using either goblet or deadlift. I've tried orthotics and knee braces but can't seem to get them working without pain. I am walking backwards trying to strengthen hamstrings which I hope will be help take strain off. I appreciate the tetesterone benefit of working our biggest muscle and doing it first. I will keep on keeping on.

One trick that you may want to try for that knee pain is what is known as a Spanish Squat, an isometric squat that has been shown to relieve knee pain for an hour or more. I have them as part of my Oly lifting warm up routine. Take a heavy resistance band and loop it around the rack column, put your legs through and hold the squat as close as you can to 90 degrees. You will feel an incredible pump/burn in the quads as the blood flows in.

Must ask- I love squats. Absolutely. HOWEVER, I can't do them anymore due to disc and sciatica issues. How can we modify squats and deadlifts to work for those who can't do a traditional- high/low/front squat?? Thanks, guys. Even though I can't do them, I think they are the best of exercises on the planet.

Happy to have an episode on Sunday but sad to think I'm not having Monday episode, definitely I can consider my self as a MP addict!

never even heard of a Cossack squat before but leg day is tomorrow, i'll give it a shot!

I was just talking to my nephew about squats, I just didn't know how to explain the importance of them. He told me he doesn't do squats, but I think he does a variation of these. But Thanks for the info. guys☺️

I've been bouncing between Anabolic and Symmetry... I absolutely love the programs and have seen plenty of strength gains. I'm currently running anabolic in reverse. I used to be fairly beat up after gigs, but now I'm doing more work with less pain and overexertion. I feel better in my late 40s than I did in my 20s.

I’ve been squatting for years, but I didn’t realize my technique was way off until I had an injury. Since then my focus has been on perfecting my technique, I really love the exercise it’s amazing and has given me a lot of gains, I know I am not as strong as I’d like to be yet but I’m working my way on it each squatting session.

Love you boys....im in my 60s looking to gain some muscle...need to get me a maps plan...

I'm going to make a suggestion that might seem to be a bit out of left field, but hear me out: the Overhead Squat. While my OHS is nowhere near my BS or FS, I think that my OHS has made a significant difference in my upper back and shoulder development. My training program has a day of OHS, a day of FS, a day of BS, and then a day of SS.

Enjoyed the episode. My take away is that now I need to read on what work I can do to prepare my body to be able to do a barbell loaded back squat. I have avoided them because I have injured my lower back so many times I did not want to risk getting sidelined again perhaps for months (am in my late 50’s) due to lower back problems. I am currently 19 months in the gym essentially injury free or with injuries I could work out around. Anyway - if you can point me to an episode perhaps that will help me prep my body for this exercise that would be great. I also need the mobility in my shoulders to actually hold the bar on my shoulders - can’t do that presently. Hands can’t get back that far.

@RouletteRog

Ай бұрын

If you're having mobility issues, ask your gym if they have a safety squat bar--which is specifically designed for people with poor shoulder mobility. As far as exercises to help guard against another lower back injury, have a look at what are known as 'The McGill Big Three' (the YT channel Squat University has an excellent tutorial video). These are great exercises for the entire core, and are a great warm up for just about anything else that you do.

Excellent breakdown on all the major squad variations! Has you're going down the list, how was thinking to myself: ' I wonder if they're going to mention the Cossack squat'?🤔 And the MP team delivered 👏😎 Bravo. This is why you guys are top of the food chain.

Squatting has helping me increase my overall strength

Hook me up! Gotta fill out these chicken legs 😂 Always enjoy listening to the show and yalls insight 6:18

I know most folks just need to get under the bar consistently but hack-squats can really level up overall quad development and knee health. I have an upright hack squat machine (York Style) in my gym that has helped my Vastus Medialis appearance and ROM immensely. I had to focus on the ATG and sissy-squat variations for most of a year but the look of my legs was worth the time. 54M

Finally here at a decent time

I've got a love-hate relationship with Bulgarians...they work so well, I know this, but they are so hard. I do them anyway, 2 times a week, and I see enormous gains in running and walking as 46 yr old women anyway.

Properly done high bar squat is a much better exercise for the quads than a front squat.. only good use for a front squat is an Olympic lifter and they only do it because they have to be in that position for other lifts. To grow their quads they use high bar squats.

This guy said tuck the chin in I never do that and my god how my spine locks up and straightens my posture is solid I love squats now lol no lie

No demonstration videos? Found them listed on the show notes….

Surprised they did not overlay demo videos for viewers to better understand.

Wait are you guys releasing videos on Saturdays now?

What is the difference between low volume training and high volume training in terms of going to failure?

But there are variations of the back squat. Are you talking high bar? Low bar? Elavated heel? Box squat? SSB bar? Tempo variation of the back squat? Or maybe im overthinking it. I agree with the front squat assessment. Every time I go up on my front squat, my back squat number goes up exponentially.

I used to train in the gym ,but hurt my hip . Now training at home, pilates helped me with recovery. Scared of doing heavy weights now. I know I need it. I was carnivore for 15 months and then my weight strayed to go up, but mostly fat. Started to add some carvs ,and veg. Gained even more weight. What do you guys think about carnivore for females in 40s. ? I think I messed up my metabolism with fasting a lot, training fasted, and eating just meat and eggs. Works for some , it worked for 15 months but then weight just was going up and up . Now heavier then ever. Please any suggestions. 🙏

I live and travel full time in a Sprinter van. I usually find gyms to go to, but I do carry some dumbbells and a kettlebell and a TRX. Is it even worth doing squats if the weight is light? Like 100 lbs less than what I would do in the gym? I like the idea of doing frequent bursts of squats scattered throughput the day on my breaks from work and then heavier days when I go to gyms.

Split squats have recently royally humbled me lmao

So to comment on something that was said early in the episode, I can't say this about squats yet because I don't squat very heavy and do it that often but when I do the deadlift, especially between 250-300 pounds (I'm a newby at the move), I feel amazing for at least the next day. Surge of energy and feel great. Is that pretty normal?

Trying to build my legs now but doing so while also running is such a pain. Any advice ?

Doing Squats triggers pain in my lower back, I've tried adjusting my form, no joy. My back went yesterday, not even doing any exercise at the time. Could it be a nerve problem? It seems especially triggered by hip hinge movements.

👍👍👍

Doug should have shown us each of those 4 squats Sal was talking about (like he usually inputs some visuals like that)... cause people like me don't know how those squats look alike so this whole conversation about 4 types of squats was completely meaningless to me (and people like me) who can't see it visually...

Lack of mobility, lack of priming, bad form, loading too early and/or too much. All of these can cause injury. It has nothing to do with the movement and everything to do with how you go about it.

I find the problem with goblet squats is that eventually your forearms and wrists will get tired long before your glutes or quads so you don’t get a decent leg workout. Its great for building range of motion and nailing the technique though

​@@thebluewormbin3444 You're right in saying that bigger muscles can do more volume. But that's not relevant here. Once again, the weight should be on your body, held in place by the hands. So either you've never trained these movements and you're coming from theory, or you have a thing or two to correct on your form.

I heard about this. But apparently there is a real backlash happening in some places. There is even a company now, a private one, helping get rid of the squatters. Going to take a closer look if it’s worth it to include these into my routine, I know squatting is popular right now, but I don’t want to get in trouble if the law changes.

All talk and no action? What happened to the 4 Types Of Squats Everyone Should Be Doing ?
