Depth Squat Tutorial - Get Bigger Legs with this Squat Day Exercise

[bebIessed]

why do u prefer to put it on your rear delts i couldnt really hear what u said

[chachles]

I have extremely tight hip flexors when I reach the bottom of my squat. I've been foam rolling and stretching daily for this. It has helped a bit but my hips flexors still throb in the bottom of the squat. Any advice?

@chachles What stretches have you been performing, and how long have you been performing them (how long do you hold each stretch)?

[ProBinderSpinner]

What if my hips won't allow me to bend down that far?

[GSTAuthor]

@ProBinderSpinner Then you need to work on your hip flexibility by doing specific stretches for the area. For squatting, start with a height that works for you and keep moving the height down over time.

One way to practice is to do bodyweight warmups while holding on to a bar in front of you, like the side of the power rack (imagine if at 3:15, he was to the left and forward, holding on to the side of the rack). This allows you to get all the way down even if you don't have the flexibility to do it normally, so you can get the movement down. Slowly, you will need to hold on less and less.

beautiful form. i need to work on mine. sometimes on my last set, i tend to lean forward which i know can be very dangerous. big ups to you man!

[GSTAuthor]

@cashmore30 That is common to compensate by performing more of a 'good morning' maneuver. You need to be aware of your form, as you are, and stop when the time is right.

For those getting started, what worked for me was starting with hack squats (machine), split squats, body weight (50# extra!) squats, and now using the smith machine. My knees are precious, so while building good form and muscle, I take it in stages. macho dudes, grab the bell and jump right in. I will barbell in a few more weeks.

Can you do one on deadlifts? Traditional deads. 

[GSTAuthor]

@TheSteelbeaver I will be doing one in the future, yes. I don't train deadlifts until later this week though, so it'll be a bit yet.

[lambo5277]

Love these videos man, could you do one on squats next?

[GSTAuthor]

@lambo5277 This video is on squats!

[CampbellFitness]

Nice job, I do these from time to time to work on my depth/form!

[GSTAuthor]

@CampbellFitness I see very little point in doing squats completely free of a depth marker to be honest. I'm not pausing or bouncing off the marker, so it's only benefitting the exercise IMO.
