I know this is a shameless plug but its something I'm incredibly proud of and allows me to reach and teach people to live better through strength training. This is a project I've been working on with my staff for the last year to film the pure number of in depth detailed videos. Compile them...
This is very common. And one of the areas my movement system directly targets. But I can't sum up 12hrs of couching in a post and won't even come close to attempting.
Watch the videos I have on breathing and bracing and all my video's on positional work for stabilization and squats. This...
These are great.
We do 5 reps with no rest at the top a full 5 count (to a timer) in the hole. Usually 40% of max... 50% is pretty advanced.
No belt, no rest at the top, and no sitting on legs in the whole. Must maintain rigidity and then fire from that.
Huge developer for Squats AND Deads!
If you have never seen any of my work I highly recommend not stretching ANY of the squat prime movers before squatting.
Remember that decreases in mobility are a result of protective patterns from poor movement - fix the main issue and DO NOT pre-stretch the muscles you are going to load. If...
So True!!!
I don't do the fasted training anymore due to my current goals and sheer size i have to support now. But this was a STAPLE of my training regimen for 5-6 years doing the USPlabs FTP.
everyone's optimal squat width is different when it comes to hitting depth. Many people think there is a one size fits all answer. We do a hip assessment ALA dr. Stuart McGill where we find each persons hip structure and depth they can hit.

Positions look good. Keep trying to drive back towards the bar at the clavicle but be able to do so without reaching/craning back at the neck. high bar vs low bar... whatever more comfortable.
With a lower bar you can still get the bar close to the spine by working the muscle back out of...
I prefer the flat sole shoe as well. But some people with ankle issues prefer the weightlifters elevated shoe.
Whatevery the choice do NOT use a cross-trainer, running shoe, or anything that doesn't have an absolute solid sole. Any instability induced between the floor and you will down...
When driving through the heels don't forget to be 'grabbing' the floor with the other 3 key points of the foot. Yes the power is transferred through the heel!!! But if you lose engagement by picking up toes or let the heel roll out you loose the glute engagement, which is imperative to maintain.
