  • way. BUT... in my opinion Front squats pretty much do the same thing as oly squats so why not implement the power squat and front squat into your routine. I came from a strictly Olympic style background and now have a mix between powerlifting and olympic lifting routine. I think this is the best way to gain functional strength and maintain good flexibility. Hope this is useful to someone.

  • This is because his stength in the thoracolumbar fascia and erectors are either to weak or his weight is to far forward putting to much stress on these muscles. practice box squats buddy. It will help with this problem and teach you how to "sit back." And if anyone wants to argue on the olympic style versus the powerlifting style, The oly style squat will focus on the quads and glutes. The powerlifting style will focus more on the posterior chain, Glutes, hams, back. There is nor right or wrong

  • okay.... hes trying a powerlifting squat technique... wider stance, toes slightly out, low bar, ect. The toes can point out as long as the knees clear the feet(meaning forcing your knees outward. The Elbows should be pulled back not forward, which he is doing a good job at. The biggest nono hear is that butt tuck. He is not sitting back and as a result you can see his butt tuck under.

  • @cabomane4 no it will just fuck up your knees if they aren#t aligned with your knees/thighs

  • @superninjapenguinH: though I do understand your point to a certain extent. I think that when people progress to much larger weights, the force & tension placed on the knee joints can have detrimental effects. Therefore i would always recommend that more emphasis be placed on the flexibility at the hip as opposed to more room for knee movement.

  • Toes and knees should point in the same direction. There is no experiment. The end.

  • does it work your glutes more if you point your toes out?

  • muy mala tecnica

  • lol nice music

    

  • Oh yeah also try to force your elbows forward, that helps to not lean forward so much and keeps you upright.
