How can one "actively pull" ones' self down!? In order for you to do that, your feet would need to be nailed to the floor. How can one "pull" during a squat? I really don't understand that cue.
@mrkitanai1 You pull yourself down with your hip flexors. So when you lift your leg to your chest you are using your hip flexors. So when you squat down, think of slowly lifting your knees to your chest
@JordanSpecops123 Doing what you say is impossible. Descending in the squat is an eccentric movement. Using one's hip flexors to pull one's knees to his chest is a concentric movement. Like I said, the only possible way to actively pull one's self down during the squat is if your feet was anchored to the floor. If you're going to pull, you must have something to pull against.
@mrkitanai1 They're the same thing. Whether your feet are anchored to the ground or not you are still using your hip flexors to pull yourself down :) So they are the same thing
Pat, you are an amazing presenter of complex information. i think you have the best exercise videos on youtube. i wish you all the best in your field.
Thanks again for viewing and for your kind comments. You are absolutely right, this is indeed a fantastic movement for fixing many problems, it has helped me dramatically improve both my back squats as well as deadlifts.
Ass to grass, that's how it's done. Now get some heavier 'bell, son.
