  • Cant squat with good form?  Squat less weight until you can maintain good form. that fucking simple

  • alot of people think that the reason they cant keep their chest up is because their back is weak when in reality is the the legs are weak and you start to lean forward in order to get out of the bottom position by allowing the hips to raise and legs to extend without moving the barbell upwards. you need to stop doing box squats and squat below parallel and get your legs strong and big. try pause squats and concentrate on only using your legs to lift the barbell rather than your back. fr squat 2

see all

  • Box squats is not good for your lower back, the second you rest on the box all of that weight is gonna be pounding on your lower back!

  • hip flexibility plays a big role as well. I can't do high back squats because I'm not flexible enough. I'm doing more front squats because they require less flexibility and I can work with less weight to get a good workout. maybe in a few months I'll go back to back squats

  • @MrNatty513 sry lol. you're right, East is actually pretty decent at football and their baseball team's great. im a senior at middletown. u could say we suck at everything except football and basketball lol 

  • @davidglunt1994 Fuck you i graduated from there 2 yrs ago lol.......What small world huh? we dont suck in football and we're not great, but we a Beast in Baseball.

  • holy shit i live really close to that kid. Lakota East is maybe 15 miles from my town.they kinda suck at football tho

  • I think everyone needs to understand that different squats (high bar, low bar, sumo, front ect..) all have different loading parameters. Try squatting ATG with a low bar squat. you're going to get that butt wink and put excessive load on your lower back. try hitting a high bar without good ankle flexibility, you're not going to hit that depth without falling over or majorly rounding your back.

    need more specifics than just saying "ATG is the only way" or "going past parallel will hurt you"

  • @sir360 ass to ass

  • I like this guy.

  • @minimelicous I think a lot of modern athletic research would disagree with this for most athletics unless you are a body-builder or an Olympic lifter. You don't need to go below parallel unless you hate your knees.
