  • thanks to you i've increased 8 inches in my vert in just 1 month!!!

  • Wow! I wish I could take credit for that, but I can't. Nice work!

  • Are good mornings recommended for someone with a lower back problem (herniated disc)?

  • Probably not - see an MD.

  • My Question is that, would severe knee pain, make the body Switch off the glutes, and certain muscles, in order to protect that knee? which will hamper your technique?

    I guess that squatting is not great when you have knee pain! But im just trying to keep, the quad relatively strong.

  • It's pretty common to see people favoring their good leg and viewed from directly behind you'll see the hips drift toward the good leg.

    Some people w. knee issues find they can squat pain free with box squats and/or "powerlifting squats" (sitting "back"). BUT, definately clear it w. a competent doc first and build into it slow.

  • You have given me the tools for proper glute activation. Thank you!

  • wow thanks for this vid, the stance on the squat made so much difference, i can feel it on my glutes AND hamstrings now.

  • Wonderful video, thank you very much! You are a great instructor.

  • Seriously great work man. Especially the RX #5 with stretch and mobility trainings will help me.

  • This is good quality information; there're things here that are difficult to find on the Net.

    For example, many people wonder about the benefits of squats for the hamstrings; it is good that you explain the multi-joint funtionality.

  • what he said X2

  • This is an interesting two-parter!
