Frank Yang - Ass to Grass, Glute Ham Raise.

[xPookeyBearx]

The huge drop of intensity from the squatz to the glute ham raise made me lol.

[digitalairair]

my knees are probably healthier than your knees.

[laloser55]

are glute ham raises good for someone that does sprinting? my gym has one but ive never used it.

[pickle137]

squat form is terrible. You will hurt your back if you continue with this technique

[CjD1087]

your so lucky you have a glute ham raise

[WalkProp]

A glute-ham raise in only an inverse-action leg curl. Only difference is the a)the weight and b)the distance the weight is from the axis (increases shear force at the knee)

[jperon1]

Your lower back is a little rounded.I suppose your stronger abs and obliques are helping you from herniating a disc.You are dangerously close to a severe back injury!I know.You need to gain weight if you go any heavier.

[grambo22]

Awesome, what is your height/weight if you don't mind me asking? And the talk about depth, he is perfect, why are people saying it's too low? Hip comes below knee, perfect.

[tanobean]

dude u r not that cool i am 16 and i can do that. and y do u not go all the way down on your glute ham raises

[donkeydickkk]

the only problem i saw was your lifting ur heels up and pushing with your toes - for more power drive with your heels and curl ur toes up - other than that nice

[dragoneyes2]

it you shift your hips back a little. it will make your knees not go in front of your feet and produces less stress

[geraldo727]

this guy is a freak

[laxccm]

JMCarpenter you aren't counting the 45 lb bar. Idiot.

[LlLnig]

nice strength you're a perfect example of strength over mass which isnt a bad thing.

[johnthecoolguy]

hey frank in this vid you went down on the squats pretty fast, doesnt that give you momentum? if im squatting should i go down controlled and slow and explode up or go down fast and go up fast?

[rundat]

u fooking Monster

[DarkDMD]

Frank, I'm sure this video is old, but you aren't really finishing those squats properly. You should aim for a slight posterior tilt of your pelvis (fire them glutes! as cressey would say) and standing up straight.

[vvolpride66]

That's not even close to parallel son. If there was a fucking golf ball under your anus you wouldn't be able to pick it up, fucker. Fuck.

[ANaqvi]

hey frank, have you seen TDUB dunk??? Nevery touched a weight and has like a 55 inch running vert...

[sjm39]

wow you're a trainer at a gym and think that this garbage is good? it is no wonder that strength training in general in our country is such a joke. its been commercialized to a point where they will let any idiot such as yourself be a trainer. "solid"...what a joke.

[ballsaq]

You lost all credibility when you said this guy's lift was "solid." If you knew a damn thing about proper squats you would know not to lean forward. You are putting yourself in a position to ruin your back. You can tell this by 1. his knees jutting out past his toes. 2. His heels clearly come off the ground at the bottom of his movement. What is so "solid" about that? I feel sorry for the people that pay for your lack of knowledge.

[Minarchist2]

Right on with the nice deep squats. My only piece of advice is watch your heels coming off the ground. Ideally you should be able to lift your toes up even while sitting in the hole. Oly lifting shoes can make a world of difference, but not necessary unless you olympic lift a lot. Keep up the good work.

[catch40507]

I was a college basketball player and currently a trainer at a gym, and I can say those squats are solid....For the body mass you have moving that weight at that rate with a solid position is remarkable

[brado32003]

Very nice form.

[ElPorteroBestia]

People in general scare me with comments like:

"bad for your knees doing full squats like that, stick with 1/2 squats and leg press. It will save you from needing new kneed when you're thirty"

What a fucking tool. I swear, people like that need to be taken to a powerlifting meet, then shot.

[megacaremad]

@ElPorteroBestia most people at power lifting meets squat like 1/4 squats but agreed about shooting keyboard warriors who know nothing about squats

[turtomic76]

quit sccoping so much ur killing my back

[ramjam92]

it might just be the way your shirts tucked ,but it looks like you might need to arch your back more. also your heals come off the ground when you come up. other than that, its prety impressive

[handstand7]

Yeah man, this is what functional strength is all about. I liked the glute-ham raises; a lot of athlets don't train their hamstrings enough and you obviously do so keep it up.

[hydrojin7]

where the hell do u hide all that muscle

[jmcarpenter2]

at first i was impressed, cuz i thought he squating 315 and goin that low,

but he's only got like 275 or 285. when he can get 315 goin that low i'll be impressed. i wouldn't condone going that low tho, cuz i think thats bad for ur knees. there is such thing as squating too deep. after goin so far, your just straining your joints.

[digitalairair]

that is 320

[KingAttle]

your a fuckin moron

[randomperson331]

jmcarpenter2 to anyone who has a brain or eyes that function, would know that on each side of that bar are 3 45lbs plates, so hes squatting at least 315. Use common sense before speaking

[gmonee]

whats his rest time between sets???

[Chicohuman]

LOL Frank YOU BEAST

YOUR CNS IS ... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[digitalairair]

i feel bad for your brain

[tgmoren]

Nice depth. Elbows a little too high, causing the bar to get to high. But, again...the depth in great. The first word out of my mouth was f--- that's low. Weird that I cruised to here after starting to look for Bosu ideas.

[digitalairair]

man u should really train

[desembodic]

dont have your training partners pull so much on the weight just saying

[digitalairair]

they were helping me just as much as ur dumb comments are. Useless

[vojdancov]

Nice response man... PWNED

[wmcmarti]

bad for you knees doing full squats like that, stick with 1/2 squats and leg press. it will save you from needing new knees when your thirty

[digitalairair]

leg presses and 1/2 are worse for your knees

if u lift at all you would know

[NorbPwn]

You should be careful man, all these comments about going low and being a pussy,

ahaha, yeah cause going low is bad... and deadlifts are dangerous, maybe i should barbell curls in the squat rack and get huge gunceps

people are retarded, nice work guy.

[sucktdeep]

wmcmarti you have no clue what you are talking about.

[nomilkforsanta]

horrible advice, read a anatomy book on skip to the child development section....it's a very natural and healthy movement.

[random63x]

anatomy books can't teach you about the effects of heavy lifting on your tendons, other than knee rotation stuff. going low = bad for many people due to poor knee attachments period. telling everyone it's a natural movement isn't good advice, because for some, it isn't natural. not that half squats are any better...

[andrewmase]

hella positive shin angle, good stuff

[rivetingcactus]

that doesnt look to good on your knees locking them out on ur squats. good though

[tyciol]

Man you really bend forward on those squats, takes a strong back.

[stitch462]

nice squatting

[datray]

There are 20 angels in this world.

Put this on 4 other video comments within the next 15 minutes.

If you do, someone you love will suprise you somehow.

If you don't, you shall lose your dear beloved. =(

[digitalairair]

5 mins aand up

[UTWrestler]

How long do you rest in between your sets?

[venividdivicci1]

Nice!!! good to see you training body parts most people dont.. Do you train in Martial Arts??

[whoregay]

Speak for yourself. Most people train legs more than you post comments on youtube.
