dear jack, please learn how to squat properly before teaching others. I don't know if you have had knee injuries before but most people will have knee injuries squatting like you. at 1:16 , your right knee is buckling in which indicates that you have short adductors. The knees should always track in the direction of the toes, this will help with getting the glutes involved. this is especially important for quad dominant athletes.

Second, dont ever get people to skip around in a squat rack. -__-

@steventar I appreciate your concern for my squat technique and it's nice you are looking out for fellow athletes...As far as form goes, that "one" rep I can see how you say my knee caves in a tad and if that were the case on every single rep then I would lack proper adductor/abductor fuction and probably have tight hips...all of which aren't true in my case. As for footwork squats, like I say in the video (for ADVANCED athletes). That is a higher intensity exercise but I need to cater to all

[VerticalJumpKing]

@steventar all athletes and show more than just basic exercises to increase your vertical jump. Those squats are commonly recommended by strength coaches, but the athlete needs the proper functional strength/foundation along with the neuro-muscular ability to perform such a complex movement. Like I said before, I appreciate you looking out for the fellow athlete, and I am sure you are a great strength coach. Let me know if you have any questions on how to improve your vert...I'd love to help

[Danrt2]

@VerticalJumpKing Sorry, but no. You are not only teaching bad techniques that won't help people get stronger or more powerful, your recommendations will get people injured, and badly. You should remove all of your videos, immediately. You're setting yourself up for a lawsuit.

@Durvey Squat. And don't do these half-baked footwork squats or half- or quarter-squats. That's nonsense.

For the record, I have had ACL reconstruction, almost 15 years ago due to a rugby injury. I still squat over 500# for reps ass to grass, squat clean 300#, and snatch 225#.

Check out Louie Simmons or Mark Rippetoe if you really want to learn how to get your power back. This guy is a joke. Listen to the experts. They know.
