  • @B2theYBroWny same, i think it might be weaker upper back/traps to legs...

  • @PorkChamber

    Tell that to Glenn Pendlay. Oh yeah, Pendlay's produced more successful lifters than Rippetoe ever will.

  • he is not getting his chest up, is he?

  • watching the "fixed" squats hurts my back just to watch

    

  • @whattheholf91 Squats are bad for your knees, if you're using improper technique. That's the whole point of this video. We live in a quad-centric society. By lifting your chest prematurely, you take the power out of your hips/glutes and apply the tension to your quads and knees. If you're taking the full weight of what should be a complete lower body workout and putting it squarely on the knees, you will destroy them.

  • LMFAO i found this video hilarious!!!

  • DONT BEND THE LOWER BACK........VERY IMP

  • see when i try this my hips rise too much and i fine i end up goodmorning the weight instead of squatting

  • Watching squat videos has made me realize that my form is terrible, I either hurt my lower back or my knees.

  • Wouldn't looking down cause you to lean forward more? That happens to me a lot when I squat heavy but that's from not always sticking my butt out. I've also used my knees to much which has caused problems with them too.
