Im assuming thumbs wrapped around the bar would be used in high bar olympic style squats, while thumbs over the bar like how mark riptoe talks about is meant for low bar squatting where you are trying harder to get the weight closest to center of mass.
@FieldBoy111 I'm not sure it really matters - I low bar squat and I just grip the bar as hard as I can to tighten my upper back and create a comfortable shelf keeping my hand in as tight close as possible. Having your thumb over felt really awkward as the bar rolled etc. Just personal preference! In the same way big guys who are less flexible hold the bar out at the collars but still get the same shelf...
@Pisswizzard1234 The point of thumbs on top in a low bar squat is to ensure that your arms are not supporting the weight. You are setting yourself up for tendinitis in your wrists and problems with your rotator cuffs down the road. Read Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Best $20 you'll ever spend. Cheers!
this is great technique, great weight and great strength.... i myself swuat 110 kgs for 3-4 reps and i know what i say cause i've worked to get there (i want to jump higher) so people just talkin shit are worthless here and should gtfo here!
I'm sick of all you faggots commenting on form, technique, safety etc...
Straight up, your advice is meaning less to me cause i don't value the opinions of faggot spawn who think they lift. You try 200kg squat, post a vid. Then talk shit. kk
This applies to 99% of bodybuilding vids/lifting vids on youtube. Also mentionable are those that keep replying to people who bag out steroids. I don't personally give a fuck what others think of steroids and nor should you.
@purplefuzzythings depends who you ask... some coaches would consider that too much. for the general population it probably is. but a really hard, strong arch is advocated by many coaches too. I believe Wendler mentions it. Besides, this guy is in good hands and seems to squat well enough so, for him, probably not :P
@purplefuzzythings kind of hard to arch the back too much on a full back squat due to how badly the hips will want to buckle. Unless you have extreme flexibility you probably don't have to worry about over arching. Regardless, just keep checking that the spine and hips are always in alignment.
@purplefuzzythings I mean like the hips don't buckle/round. stand and put your hands on your hips. Then squat down. If your hips round and your pelvis comes forward the exercise will be hard on your disc's.
@purplefuzzythings anything that is too little/too much will result in severe injury lifting that much. You need a neutral spine in order for all the bracing and strutting muscles to protect the spine. Arching, both directions, will create compression in the spine. If you mean rotating hips so that they are neutral then that's different. His back is neutral, body nice and upright (good flexibility), bar stays over feet during lift (i.e. no shear forces through spine). Excellent lifts!

@Theanonradier yeah, I myself do LB as it feels better for my back. These guys have perfect high bar form, it's just beautiful to look at the sheerpower, no gay ass dive bomping to the bottom with rounded lumbar spine (like Mendes has) etc, just sheer fucking power.
@areyu93 Wouldn't call it perfect. It's flawed heavily in that he does not bend at the hips, missing out on hip drive and primary use of the posterior chain. His form is very keen and neat, but misses out on full body utilization.
@kickenwing30 lol ur a funny guy kickenwing. first of all, ur one of the few ppl on youtube that actually doesn't use internet slang in their posting and capitailizes the sentences. back to my pt, why do ppl keep on criticizing pros on wut they are doing? no one has "perfect form" but then again they are pros. u trying to critique their squat form is like a regular high school track athelete saying usain bolt has to lift his knees higher to run faster.
@AdmiralSeadog Areyu93 implied he had perfect form, when in fact, his form is not perfect. You'd be surprised what professionals do and do not know. I'd advise you learn more about the lift yourself, and consider what I'm saying to you instead of kissing the ass of an asian oly lifter who bends at the knees to squat.
Are you implying these lifters would perform better with a different form? Are you that arrogant? Listen, fuckwit, the moment you can say you've trained from childhood under the advisement of country-enlisted physicians, trainers, gold medalists, biomechanists, nutritionists and have mastered your body to maximize power output -- thereby winning WORLD championships and gold medals yourself, you'll understand at the elite level, form is unique to the lifter. You know nothing.
If you don't recognize the hip drive clearly being used here, I do not know what to say to you. As far as a high bar back squat is concerned, this is perfection given the lifter's proportions and leverages. A high bar squat's sole purpose is to aid in feeling a heavier weight with a similar load to the snatch. You have clearly been indoctrinated by Rippetoe's teachings. While low bar is indeed a valid technique, to imply its use is more efficient or "better" is idiotic.
Nothing. Low bar squats with a focus on utilizing hip drive and posterior chain activation is a great way to increase strength. However, suggesting it is the only "proper" or "perfect" way to squat is very misguided. For the lifters in the video, that form is optimum. If they could lift more and see more carry-over to their snatch or clean, they would. Their entire career and legacy relies on their form.
@kickenwing30 Positioning is an important factor in Weightlifting, and these lifters are keeping an upright torso because that is the proper position during a snatch. Similarly, an upright torso in the front squat translates to the clean and jerk. Their form is not flawed; it is part of the training required to increase the lifts in Weightlifting. The low bar squat commonly used in powerlifting does involve hip drive and the posterior chain, and this can allow more weight to be lifted.
Lol you don't know what you're talking about. Try catching a clean or snatch at the bottom with your chest down and your ass out like in a low bar squat. These guys are Olympic level lifters, they have different goals than teenagers doing Starting Strength.
that video respone is so lame since this video is from 2008 and respone is quite new... :D not to mention these guys lift quite alot compared to their body size and good squat tech etc. i wonder how theyre doing now. anyone know?
also MiKill93 that groaning actually helps. same way as roaring or screaming if you throw or lift something... same with exhaling and inhaling. gives lil boost.
also to everyone out there who has something to moan. get camera. film and do it better than they do.
@Tyler5794 I've corrected this problem myself in the past few months. Unfortunately I cant say for sure exactly what I did to make it go away, but I'll give you a few tips. 1- Make sure to stretch a lot. Ive gotten into a daily routine of stretching quads, hams, butt, and hip flexors (honestly i think stretching is the key.) 2- Make sure you focus on pushing your knees out and dropping your butt "inbetween" your legs. 3- Ankles need to be very flexible. work on this.
@dman519 i totally agree. If you don't have the flexibility you can't do a proper squat. These guys squat like pros. Unfortunately for me I can only squat like 275 for 3 with that form.
my front and overhead squat is good, but i dont feel my back squzt form is right. im guess high chest brace abs going down drive up to 1/3 then push hips foward?
From what I've read, higher reps increases the energy capacity of each muscle fiber. This means your muscles contain more fluid, look bulkier, and weigh more.
Compare this with 1-5 reps at closer-to-max weight, which is what I hear Power and Oly Lifters do. Supposedly, this increases the amount of fibers you have. You'll still bulk up, but your muscles will be denser, be less bloated with fluid, and so you'll be able to weigh less.
@Claymore2408 just dont eat a lot of food and you wont grow bigger. you can still get stronger by improving your central nervous system like these guys. thats a harder and slower way to get strong though
@jakebrigand CNS training is pretty hard for me, I mean i've been stuck on the same bench press for a month i can't get any gains. When i complete my sets for the flat bench press i feel my CNS is tired out and i'm pressing less on the incline etc. How exactly do you shock your CNS in making strength gains? I've saw videos of christ thib on how to shock the CNS but i'm kind of a newb around bodybuilding :P
@Claymore2408 you can easily find a good powerlifting or weightlifting program for strength. BUT what you do is not as important as how you do it. the main purpose of a strength exercise is to concentrate on trying to use more muscles and make every rep easy. many people dont do that, they just go through the motions like they're doing a chore. you wont get stronger like that. its like reading a book. you have to think about what the words mean, not just read the words.
@jakebrigand So you would suggest I should concentrate on higher reps with lower weight limits? Or after every set I should ramp the weights. So for e.g to shock the nervous system I would add more weight after the set and do a rep lower? Set 1 bench 225x5, Set 2, 235x4, Set 3 245x3 etc?
@Claymore2408 just keep increasing the weight. you should go to your max or close to your max for your last few sets to train strength. for any exercise i typically do 6 sets for 1 to 3 reps each. my gym buddy who squated 275KG does like 12-16 sets, 2 reps until he gets close to his max then he does 1 reps. everyone has different mentalities and body chemistry. you gotta do the exercises and feel and understand how they affect you, then make your own routine.
@jakebrigand Yeah my friend always told me to do low reps with heavier weights which recruits muscle tension. What about people who does higher reps what is that for?
@Claymore2408 Try giviing your CNS a rest? Also, Dan Baker proved that training the antagonist before the agonist resulted in heavier lifting. Try a seated row or something to train the antagonist first then go for a set of bench. Also, if you want to increase the CNS ability to"fire" it has also been proven that plyometric press ups achieve massive neural activity whilst just heavy bench not so much. So, you could try some explosive press ups, say 3-5, to gain massive CNS activation?..
i believe that chinese olympic lifters dont have anything wrong with their form. i mean first of all they are from China, they do everything to perfection
ok... Im really INTERESTED in why the HELL DID SOME GUY POST A VIDEO RESPONSE? lol how some ppl really that delusional to thinnk that they are even close to these guys in terms of strenght? after all they are elite oly lifters, not elite AMERICAN oly lifters...theres a difference...also im just sick and tired of all the american "elite" oly lifters who thnk they are bad shit...after all they are lifting weights that foreign lifters are lifting two or more weight classes lower...seriously,
@AdmiralSeadog Please excuse the ignorance and narcissistic attitudes of people! Youtube has transformed into a "forget your video look at me look at me" spot! That being said, great job with these guys lifting a freaking small house! lol
@AdmiralSeadog It's good form in terms of green lights but a dangerous form-can't tell if he has a belt on or not as it could be under his shirt-no spotter and not even on a power rack but old fashioned jack stands.
@RPenta Stop making yourself look foolish. Belts dont increase safety, they increase intraabdominal pressure to increase torso stability, allowing you to lift more. No spotters, he can just dump the bar if he gets stuck. Don't spread misinformation when you have no idea what you are talking about.
@CptCoolXD If your torso is more stabile, that helps protect your back weed-hopper, also why most belts and best are strong leather and wider at the back.
@RPenta Sorry but, well, no. Torso stability has nothing to do correct posture. Infact, it can lead to some quite serious injuries. By wearing a belt you are placing additional stress onto the spine and surrounding muscles/ligaments. With good form, this extra force can be properly dispersed between the core muscles and correctly through the spine. With bad form, this extra force could be acting centrifugally on a vertibrae, increasing the risk of disc herniation.
@CptCoolXD Torso stability has EVERYTHING to do with correct posture! Correct posture allows the musculoskeltal system to effectively activate around the spine, providing the support and strutting, both chronic and global muscles. Global muscles feedback balance and essentially spatial awareness. They will not function properly as they are sequentially recruited when a load is placed on the spine. Centrifugal means away from a centre by the way...Read anything by Stone, Kraemer, McGill, Beachle
@CptCoolXD Wow son, how about you stop spreading bullshit as well. The increase in abdominal pressure helps prevent hernias, and the added back stability makes it harder to fuck up a disc. Just saiyan.
@u780 That comment tells me you are shit at debating. It was an irrelevant point and really shows that you had no intelligent response to offer. In the future, it would be advisable if you refrained from ad hominem arguements, and instead addressed the topic at hand, which in this case is the science behind lifting belts. This would suggest that you had atleast some idea what you are talking about.
The added pressure of a belt can actually encourage herniation or slipping of the lower discs. The purpose of a belt is not safety. It is solely to increase the amount of weight you can lift by allowing for even, stable loading down through the core into the lower body.
@RPenta He also has the best coaching in the world. Everything you claim to know, multiply by 1,000, and you will understand what the Chinese lifters are doing. These are among the smartest athletes on this planet.
@brudman08 My multiplication is quite good-you don't have to be the head of a Chinese sweatshop based upon neo-liberal exported jobs to know if he cramps up and has to dump the weight he can injure himself.
I guess the smartest athletes in the world lack common sense as do they "mark" internet groupies.
@AdmiralSeadog And YOU are lifting a lot more?! The guy in the video (Pablo) is squatting a few kilos less and he's only 68KG with no steroids or coaching -these guys in the video are juiced and have been training since they were 7 years old.
Come on post a video of you squatting 180X2.......oh wait you can't because your a stupid fat ass American who can't lift shit.
@kawadamark Why don't you just shut up? The lifters in the videos are preforming textbook olympic squats, It's done to help them with the clean and jerk which means more depth and quad isolation and an upright posture. Their form is perfect as far as their end goals are concerned, and squatting like this is alot harder than the chinese in the video makes it look.
@kawadamark lol rippetoe, shoulda guessed. only a rippetoe nuthugger can complain about something that minor. check pat mendes 800lb raw squat. rip would have a seizure watching that kids form.
@foschizzlemanizzle i dont see where you're going with this. i wasnt complaining, just pointing out something - like you said - minor. the form was there, i believe every minor flaw should be fixed and this one is easy to do, so why not take two seconds and perform a perfect squat even in rippetoe's eyes.
@kawadamark sorry, disagree. Perfect grip. Squeezing shoulder blades together-switches on lats which switch on obliques, rec fem, hips which switch on glutes, core, etc.....Not many people realise that a good grip has the ability to help switch on postural muscles, global and chronic. Read some stuff by Stone, Beachle, McGill, Baker, etc. It's all in there.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
its easy to figure this one out. chinese are know for little dick so it doesnt get in the way when they squat. everytime i squat my dick sorta gets in the way

@Claymore2408 just dont eat a lot of food and you wont grow bigger. you can still get stronger by improving your central nervous system like these guys. thats a harder and slower way to get strong though

@jakebrigand CNS training is pretty hard for me, I mean i've been stuck on the same bench press for a month i can't get any gains. When i complete my sets for the flat bench press i feel my CNS is tired out and i'm pressing less on the incline etc. How exactly do you shock your CNS in making strength gains? I've saw videos of christ thib on how to shock the CNS but i'm kind of a newb around bodybuilding :P
Claymore2408 7 months ago
@Claymore2408 you can easily find a good powerlifting or weightlifting program for strength. BUT what you do is not as important as how you do it. the main purpose of a strength exercise is to concentrate on trying to use more muscles and make every rep easy. many people dont do that, they just go through the motions like they're doing a chore. you wont get stronger like that. its like reading a book. you have to think about what the words mean, not just read the words.
jakebrigand 7 months ago 2
@jakebrigand So you would suggest I should concentrate on higher reps with lower weight limits? Or after every set I should ramp the weights. So for e.g to shock the nervous system I would add more weight after the set and do a rep lower? Set 1 bench 225x5, Set 2, 235x4, Set 3 245x3 etc?
Claymore2408 7 months ago
@Claymore2408 just keep increasing the weight. you should go to your max or close to your max for your last few sets to train strength. for any exercise i typically do 6 sets for 1 to 3 reps each. my gym buddy who squated 275KG does like 12-16 sets, 2 reps until he gets close to his max then he does 1 reps. everyone has different mentalities and body chemistry. you gotta do the exercises and feel and understand how they affect you, then make your own routine.
jakebrigand 7 months ago
@jakebrigand Yeah my friend always told me to do low reps with heavier weights which recruits muscle tension. What about people who does higher reps what is that for?
Claymore2408 7 months ago
@Claymore2408 Try giviing your CNS a rest? Also, Dan Baker proved that training the antagonist before the agonist resulted in heavier lifting. Try a seated row or something to train the antagonist first then go for a set of bench. Also, if you want to increase the CNS ability to"fire" it has also been proven that plyometric press ups achieve massive neural activity whilst just heavy bench not so much. So, you could try some explosive press ups, say 3-5, to gain massive CNS activation?..

RPenta 7 months ago
@RPenta Stop making yourself look foolish. Belts dont increase safety, they increase intraabdominal pressure to increase torso stability, allowing you to lift more. No spotters, he can just dump the bar if he gets stuck. Don't spread misinformation when you have no idea what you are talking about.

YoungPLER 7 months ago
@CptCoolXD If your torso is more stabile, that helps protect your back weed-hopper, also why most belts and best are strong leather and wider at the back.
RPenta 7 months ago
@RPenta Sorry but, well, no. Torso stability has nothing to do correct posture. Infact, it can lead to some quite serious injuries. By wearing a belt you are placing additional stress onto the spine and surrounding muscles/ligaments. With good form, this extra force can be properly dispersed between the core muscles and correctly through the spine. With bad form, this extra force could be acting centrifugally on a vertibrae, increasing the risk of disc herniation.
CptCoolXD 7 months ago
@CptCoolXD Torso stability has EVERYTHING to do with correct posture! Correct posture allows the musculoskeltal system to effectively activate around the spine, providing the support and strutting, both chronic and global muscles. Global muscles feedback balance and essentially spatial awareness. They will not function properly as they are sequentially recruited when a load is placed on the spine. Centrifugal means away from a centre by the way...Read anything by Stone, Kraemer, McGill, Beachle
highjuice 4 months ago
@CptCoolXD Wow son, how about you stop spreading bullshit as well. The increase in abdominal pressure helps prevent hernias, and the added back stability makes it harder to fuck up a disc. Just saiyan.

@u780 That comment tells me you are shit at debating. It was an irrelevant point and really shows that you had no intelligent response to offer. In the future, it would be advisable if you refrained from ad hominem arguements, and instead addressed the topic at hand, which in this case is the science behind lifting belts. This would suggest that you had atleast some idea what you are talking about.
CptCoolXD 5 months ago
@u780
The added pressure of a belt can actually encourage herniation or slipping of the lower discs. The purpose of a belt is not safety. It is solely to increase the amount of weight you can lift by allowing for even, stable loading down through the core into the lower body.

@kawadamark Why don't you just shut up? The lifters in the videos are preforming textbook olympic squats, It's done to help them with the clean and jerk which means more depth and quad isolation and an upright posture. Their form is perfect as far as their end goals are concerned, and squatting like this is alot harder than the chinese in the video makes it look.
TL;DR Shut up.

@foschizzlemanizzle i dont see where you're going with this. i wasnt complaining, just pointing out something - like you said - minor. the form was there, i believe every minor flaw should be fixed and this one is easy to do, so why not take two seconds and perform a perfect squat even in rippetoe's eyes.
kawadamark 11 months ago
@kawadamark sorry, disagree. Perfect grip. Squeezing shoulder blades together-switches on lats which switch on obliques, rec fem, hips which switch on glutes, core, etc.....Not many people realise that a good grip has the ability to help switch on postural muscles, global and chronic. Read some stuff by Stone, Beachle, McGill, Baker, etc. It's all in there.
