Brilliant instructional man, really cleared up a few queries for me. Even Squat Master Rippletoe himself I don't think quite got across how easy and important each section is before you de-rack the weight. Bookmarked and favourited for Monday morning before I try to squat properly.
Mannnn, you're the BEST guy. I've been looking for a video JUST on the set-up for low-bar squat and I couldn't find a good one. This is the first one that SHOWS and says WHERE to put the bar...I've been looking for this cuz I find that I sit back LOADS during the squat and with a high-bar position this messes with my back. Thanks a lot. Great video, if you could do another video showing your full squat form as well it would be much appreciated!
@TheSpectre011 Unfortunately, it would be irresponsible for me to do a video on full squat form, as I don't perform the full squat. I only train for a powerlifting squat, as I compete in powerlifting, and see minimal value in training the full squat for that capacity. Honestly, if you are using a low bar set-up, you shouldn't be attempting a full squat, as high bar tends to be much more beneficial for that movement. Low bar is much better for a powerlifting legal squat.
