I'm 6'4" with really long femurs and a short torso. All this time people have been telling me not to let my knees go past/over my toes, and it always felt wrong stopping that from happening. As soon as I adopted a *slightly* wider stance and let my knees travel a bit farther, I felt way more stable and got better depth.

So many people are giving terrible advice on lifting form that’s either based on pure ignorance or their own personal geometry that may not be applicable. It took me years of studying real knowledgeable lifters to untrain bad habits that had been taught to me by hs football coaches. And I was at an elite football program where you would have thought they’d know something, but naw.

But they're also the ones who like to "jump at people" and "give advise", which is mostly shit. 3 "advies" I got from them that were totally fucking terrible LOCK YOUR BACK AND DON'T OVEREXTEND WHEN ROWING! Right, so essentially they told me to put my shoulder blades together and shorten the range of motion as much as possible when doing any sort of pulling/rowing, great one. Good one, right? DO A LOW BAR SQUAT INSTEAD OF HIGH BAR! YOU CAN PUT MORE WEIGHT! I knew it was wrong for some reason, I didn't know why, now I watched the video, now we both know. DO NOT USE THE PUSSY PAD (mentioned in the video 'bar condom') Do I have to explain? They were dead serious about it.

I'm learning a lot from these videos. But I'm a bit surprised you didn't suggest placing weight plates or something else under the heels for those of us with extremely inflexible ankles who struggle to get a range of motion sufficient for stimulating the quads. I mean a wider stance can definitely help you get deeper, but the wider you go, the more you shift the emphasis away from the quads and towards your adductors, so that might not be the solution for folks who have to go super wide just to squat parallel to the ground.

This is so refreshing after decades of being told not to let my knees go beyond my toes, and to keep my feet shoulder width apart at all times. I am one of those people who has a very short torso and abnormally long femurs. Keeping my feet “shoulder width apart” in any exercise has never felt natural to me. I’m so glad to finally know why now! And relieved to not have to place myself in that position automatically anymore.

Standardize your performance. 12:24 Low bar for growth - High bar is better for hypertrophy 16:40 Stance Width - find a stance where you can feel the quads the most as this will help them grow.

In all these videos about squatting, i feel like nobody ever talks about ankle mobility. I'm a tall guy with especially long legs, and i can't squat properly, my butt goes completely back, and so instead of having my thighs parallel to the ground, my back is. I coach told me that people with my kind of femurs would get better and safer results from other exercices like lunges. What i do to keep doing squats more effectively, is that i put small weight discs under my heels, it allows me to have a deeper ROM with less leaning forward. And speaking of ankle mobility, i can't do an actual squat, the position where you "sit" on yourself without having my heels going up. So what, are people ignoring ankle mobility or am i putting to much importance into it ?

Heavy leg work is actually taxing in a cardiovascular sense. The combination of that hard work and the constant bracing you do to keep that weight on top of you amounts to holding your breath, even if you're breathing alright. I would say to try to find the rep range that is least likely to make you pass out after that still brings you close to failure

not to correct professionals, but I would raise the point that rounding of the lower back is avoided by doing more or less the opposite of what recommended here. with a low bar placement: bend the hips, do not try to keep the chest high, and allow the chest and face to point somewhat down, and accept that depth wont be super deep for a while. thats what I was thaught some years ago and it really helped me.

Low bar, high bar, front, all with good form, tried different stance widths too, no matter what though my adductor magus gets the most sore...it messes with my frequency because my quads will heal up in a few days but the adductor magnus remains sore for a couple more...even though I never feel a pump there and its not the limiting factor. I got sick of it. Its not as bad with leg press and hack squat but really whenever I target my quads the adductor magnus gets sore as well except leg extensions.
