So You Think You Can Squat Part 5

[SVDragunov137]

Brian Carroll @ 1:41 - Two 2,600++ lifters on screen. Awesome.

[bigfornoreason1]

I'm sure that this guy is strong as shit, but that advice about HOW to train abs was terrible. He said he does 400 reps per week of some type of ab exercise, and that you should always do a standing ab exercise, but that shit is just to cover up the fact that his ab exercises are pussy exercises. Get on the floor, put some chains around you or a 45 pound plate on your back, and do some roll outs. You don't need to do 400 reps per week. That is overtraining. Just don't do pussy exercises.

[danehb89]

'You need to make sure you're training what you need to train, versus what you want to train.' I am definitely guilty of this, and will be keeping it in mind.

[DimebagVision]

This pretty much tells me that i need to train abs more. A LOT more. Also, i should start doing good mornings.

Thanks for this series. I learned a lot

[UnboundOdysseus]

Matt Wenning is awesome

[Sebasvanduyne]

[L07EK]

@Liquid1988 definitely!

[boby6]

great series I really needed these super detailed lessons. Even more than that the bodybuilding style stuff to improve upper back etc is exactly what I need to do more of. Thank you so much for making these

[Norreck]

A problem I find so far with my squatting as a beginner, is that I get slight bruise-discomfort on the back of my shoulders. It's a minor thing, but an uncomfortable nuisance that I think suggests bad form. Am I probably placing the bar too low?

[1080famous]

i wish this wasnt so damn boring and so much talking..

[DeathMetalBoom]

in here they showed that the guy's ass disappeared when squating which was a hip weakness. i am the exact opposite when i go down my butt shoots out which make me bend over. can anyone suggest an exercise to help stop this.

[Polkie17]

@DeathMetalBoom I'd do Good Mornings of all kinds, seated & standing... And I would do some Front Squats, to improve your Anterior Chain... Lots of Abs also, just become overall stronger, without seeing your form that is the best I can do...

[RippednNTan]

I'm 200-210, age 17 and can only squat 95lbs x 15 reps right now after getting back in the gym from a 3 week break. I have more upper body strength like curling,bench and all that but for some reason I have a shitty squat. I just started squatting a few months ago, and just recently got my form good like under parallel. Anyone have any suggestions or words of advice?

[DeDuniel1]

@RippednNTan You changed from a "curlbro" routine to actual powerlifting. Work on your core, utilize the assistance lifts the video showed and build in as many compound lifts as you can. Google compound lifts if you don´t know what that means.

[420nietzsche]

Helped so much, thanks!

[unlockthepower]

Thanks for great series, looking forward to the Deadlift edition

[ArentWeSpecial]

What's so important about direct ab work? Doing heavy lifts, especially low-bar squats and pulls, with a properly tightened belt is plenty of abdominal work.

[wazrasta]

This guys fuckin sick. Awesome series! hey any one got a good lower back exercise that you can do with free weight / no machine?

lol love the ending 4:15 lmfao

[SmexyPC]

@wazrasta good mornings are the king of lower back exercises, but you must be careful with it, i mean just like any other exercises you should be careful, but the good morning it would be prudent to do so, but the good morning, stiff leg deadlifts, deadlifts, rack pulls, are the best. hope this helps :P

[wazrasta]

@SmexyPC hey, thanks for the advice will chuck em into my programing!

[glekozip]

Thanks, great series

[erisdiosadelkaos]

fucking great advice, amazing videos, good explanation and motivation... thanks a lot guys!!

[ScottWarley88]

Heeeeeeeey! Great videos.

[xese4lifex]

Heeeeeyyyyy. I have already learned so much from these videos. Thank you to the guy who recommended them to me.

[haxmya]

This is a great series. I'd love to see more about how to tell what to work on depending on how the lifter fails.

[pushaman1983]

Awesome series. Thanx

[drdude720]

GREAT videos. It seemed like you were surprised how strong he was! Very informative, thank you very much for sharing this.

[hybridman]

"If im on my back, Im probably going to the hospital." being a smartass here, love the vids, but umm, NO. if you're on your back you're probably bench pressing. lol

[EvilSecondTwin]

Great series! Matt has an awesome ability to teach.

[xkruulx]

ewww dude look at the cramp on his leg at 1:18

[Bruce777999]

Big Thx

[RyanV27]

In for deadlift video's and thanx for this one.

[thenatural794]

awesome series

[Chathamsfinest24]

Please show me how to deadlift!!! My squat went up 40lbs using all the tips Ive learned from these videos! I feel like I can deadlift properly but then I thought I could squat properly also.....wrong!

Thanks a lot this is great!

[DrSmokeTrees]

@Chathamsfinest24

r/Fitness/

you can find help there, thats how I found this series

[Chathamsfinest24]

@DrSmokeTrees Sorry, I didnt catch what you were saying. Where can I find deadlifting help?

[spidanez]

@Chathamsfinest24 not that i am an expert deadlifter or anything. i may be a little above average at best. 585-600 is my best max yet. but one thing that i did was deadlift 225 and then 135 with the weights on 45's to take my knees out for squats for as much reps as possible. the things i found was that my traps were weak and my glutes were weak and also i played with my stance. i got 225 for 30 but i got 135 for 50 right after. to me it pin pointes my weak areas. but again im not the best

[ThreatHome]

@spidanez 600 is "above average at best?" Sure, if you're in a room with the strongest 1% on the planet.

[RexFatman]

@spidanez 225 for 30 built you to 600 for 1. Bullshit. If you lifted weights you would not make such ridiculous claims.

[jimpict]

Great series. Seriously. Thanks a lot.

[matteoscarface]

Any video about how to deadlift? I want to see some videos "So You Think You Can Deadlift" please!

[1greedisgood1]

invaluable info explained crystal clear. TY and i second the comment below so think you can deadlift PLZ

[src628]

Good series, I watched all 5 vids, It help me add some weight to my squat.

Yall should do a series of: So you think you can deadlift. I see a lot of people on youtube do them wrong, especially at my gym.

[FlamingArrow850]

4:17

HEEEYYYYYYYY

[bakerjb19]

Awesome series.

[jl92010]

This series has been phenomenal. Matt's ability to clearly and concisely explain the training methods, exercises, and corrections in form made this series great. Please do more.

[nvcn86]

any good ways of waking up glutes from a coma, and bringing up one that's weaker?

[UofO08]

hheeeeeyyyyy



[feb12aaron]

@UofO08 I think he said peeeeegg. as in Jason Pegg

[inmymind801]

i dont have one of those but i do poor mans reverse hyper with a DB between my ankles

[mbelma6329]

You should see the stupid crap people use our glute/ham machine for. Hint: Not flutes or hams. smh

[DeMoNSe3d]

Awesome set of videos!

[nick4630]

you can sometimes use the lat pull seat with your feet under the knee pads

[soseg]

as if my fkn gym would ever have a glute/ham raise machine

[bryandaza]

LOL'd IRL at the end LMAO!!

[goatkiller68]

hahaha. The ending was hilarious

[goatkiller68]

this is pretty good advice

[antsal100]

Hayyyyyy

thanks for the vids, great insight

[DarkDaysAreHere]

Man I wish I had a glute/ham raise machine at my gym :I

[rpickett578]

@DarkDaysAreHere My gym doesn't have them.. but I use the lat pulldown machine. If you put your ankles under the knee pads and lower yourself towards the floor and pull up. its same movement. (if you can picture that)

[Datadayne]

@DarkDaysAreHere

me too. I believe some people do them on the lat pulldown seat though,, i`ll give them a try tomorrow.

[dom000002]

@DarkDaysAreHere thumbs up to that man

[hannel19]

@DarkDaysAreHere you can usually set one up on your lat pulldown machine

[matklstrength]

amazing vids, learnt so much from matt hope to see more.

[Frace91]

great series!

[DerRofflers]

I made the "heeeey" into a ringtone for when I get texts.

also it improved my squat by 200lbs over night.

[jilla82]

Anyone else know of any good Ab exercises?

I havent done direct Ab work in years.

[DrSmokeTrees]

@jilla82

Ab ripper X

[GermanicPrussian]

I've never worked my abs directly, and i squat 700 lbs raw at 210 lbs.

[rgc675]

@GermanicPrussian Where is the video you putz

[j0540212]

GREAT ADVICE!

[wideningeye]

Anybody else following 5/3/1? When do you do ab work? I practically do no direct abs now. Maybe leg raises on deadlift day.

[TheExalTeDGuy]

this is EXACTLY why i subbed man! im gonna do this shit today!!

[Serdarpure]

[kozes]
