yeh that was a hang clean...power cleans are from the ground up.

Yeah actually you ruin your cartilage in your knee by keeping your legs too close together and your feet pointed straight outward. If you have your legs out like a little bit more than shoulder width and your feet pointed out like 2 inches you get a more natural movement for your legs and knees. If you wanna see a PERFECT squat ask a girl to show you how she would pee if she was outside. Just don't be a perv and tell her to actually do it...thats a little creep. hope i helped.

[MrAmericanboss]

why the fuck is skinny mothafucka talkin about weight lifting :/

[TheAdster2010]

@50cent1202 To add on to what you said, whenever you squat and stop parallel, that puts A LOT of a strain on your knees. It is unnatural for your knees to be stopping the weight at that position which can cause knee problems later down the road. A better squat, meaning more beneficial in strength and healthier on your knees, should be going all the way down. I have my butt hit my heels pretty much. If you have knee problems with squats, go all the way down. It'll help a lot.

@KingHenryXI can you direct me to some correct ones?

[KingHenryXI]

Seriously, don't do more vids on weight training. You said for the squat you go to parallel, but do you know what that means? It means get your legs to parallel. Not half way down. It means getting your hip joint below your knee joint. Or if you wanna get fancy, your acetablum below your patella.

Get a bench that lets your feet touch the ground.

Don't call that a power clean. Ever.

Like if you are le tired of incorrect demonstrations of exercises.

@captainjosue You can train at, or near your max exclusively and have greater strength gains than any other method of training. If you don't believe me, look at powerlifters. The good ones anyway. They never go below their max range (except for light days, keep in mind these are crucial to recovery, even though they are still training above 75% 1RM) and still get stronger. A lot of lifters get huge gains and work out 3 days a week. More than that will cause overtraining.

his squat is terrible he has bad form.and that is not a power clean idk wtf that is.you do a power clean from the ground up.and also his legs shouldnt be curved in while benching...im in 8th grade and know this.he is just a skinny fuck.
