  • Did he knee snaped at 0:18 :? :S

  • @TheMirolx Probably. LOL! My knees snap, crackle, and pop. Fortunately, there is no pain associated with the sounds.

  • Impressive form! Any flexing advice for someone starting out??

  • @JonnyKozoom Use gradual progressive, focusing on the deep, low position. Concentrate on pushing the knees out while keeping your heels planted. Also, sit between the legs which is a different movement from the powerlifting type squat. Don't be too quick in adding weight. Happy training!

  • did you only tan the upperbody? ;) Nice squat

  • @janolav89 LOL! Thanks!

  • @eegz88 I personally don't have (or ever had) knee problems. I have been squatting deep, Tommy Kono style, for a long time. However, my depth came through gradual progression. This is something that happened over years, and not right away. Do a google search about "Olympic Squats by Tommy Kono" and read anything by Dan John. Sit ass to grass throughout the day let your mind and body get use to the low position. Focus on keeping your heels on the ground and sitting "in between" your legs.

  • @joeyyy7 I have very short/tight achilles tendons. So when I squat it is really hard and feels uncoordinated. Seems like most of the stress is going onto the front portion of my legs. You are lucky, looks like you go up and down really easily.

  • @BDFPA

    Focus on actively pushing your knees out during the lift. Let them track with your toes.

  • You really need to get some real weightlifting shoes. Only bad things come from squatting deep in flat soled shoes.

  • Hi, my knees travel inwards when i squat and i have been informed that this is due to weak inner thighs. Can you recommend an exercise that doesn't incorporate a machine to strengthen these muscles because i exercise in my garage. Thanks

  • @joeyyy7 hehe ;) i kwon but that means than is probably to much presion your knees shoud not pass your toes, i´m a fitness instrutor :),if you knees shoudn´t pass your toes :)

  • Good squat man. Like the form.
