@guima300 Intention matters here. With a barbell in your hands, you can't "do the Fonzie", but the upper arm should externally rotate somewhat engaging the upper back into the movement.
Hey boris, this has been very useful for me to see as I am currently doing some therapy to teach my shoulders to externally rotate, utilising the posterior delts and lats effectively.
I was wondering however if you had heard the "elbows out" cue for setting up the pull for the snatch. I see all OL lifters turning their elbows out (internal rotation) strongly for the snatch. This flares the lats for the pull and also helps elbows to get high into a triple extension.
I don't see any need or benefit to cue internal rotation during the first or second pull. Maybe someone else w. more experience in OL will chime in, but that's my opinion.
I use the OH squat as a warm-up only and have been doing the low-bar squat. Used the correct form today and it was MUCH easier on the shoulders and hips and going below parallel was much easier. Thanks.
Thanks for your Squat Rx series dude, really helps when someone posts all these vids for the all the different types of squat and attention that they deserve.
His name is actually "Boris" by the way. I'm glad this new video was posted. Its a reminder to go over the Squat Rx series again for me since my forms fallen apart lately.
Thanks for the videos again Boris! I hope to catch the next SKWAT! shirt sale lol.
Through his teaching we are ahead of the game. The only negative is if he could have reduce the echoing; I had to listen several times before capturing the suggestions.
Boris,is this possible (fonzie) with heavy weigths??

Is it possible to substitute regular squats with OH squats?

@elmirg
If you want to get better at regular squats, then you should do regular squats.
