Best video on squatting I have seen, really helped my technique. Thanks a million! Cant wait for the rest. Also how about a "So you think you can deadlift" series?

Stuart McRobert's books (Beyond Brawn and Insider's Tell-All Handbook) are famous for his ultra-strict emphasis on safety and correct form. Yet, I actually learned almost as much new information from Matt Wenning in a few minutes than I have done in a couple of years of weightlifting research, including McRobert's books. His tips on eye-level, centered knurling, upper-back lock, outer heel and knee push-out, spotting fails, proprioception (no mirrors!), accessory work - superb! Thank you, Matt!

fuck yes

I realise he's just coaching the man, but shouldnt he still be coaching him to the hip crease being below the knees?

you're gotta be kidding me. For the longest time I thought squat is an up n down exercise. Nooooo

[hoboishjoeishme]

man i would hate to be the guy they're correcting.

everyone around him is squatting 900+lbs and this guy is breaking form at 400...we were all there once though.

@groovytunes420 It should not be straightend out.

@hillsidehibbee THIS PLEASE.

[groovytunes420]

question: should the low back stay in the arched position throughout the entire exercise or does it straighten out at the top of the movement? i cant tell if his back is straightening out at the top cuz of his shirt.

@wungabunga doing shrugs and rows has helped me on that

@TheChase64 Why would you want athletes to squat with bad form? This form is perfect for everyone from a beginner to the most experienced lifter. And knees coming forward indicates that your glutes and hamstrings have disengaged. Why would you want that on a squat?
