Man, I wish my squat was "stuck" at 600 lbs. Yeah watching someone squat at 67% of his one rep max isn't going to give you much of a clue about how to improve his squat. But you still gave solid advice (as always). He definitely wasn't staying tight in his back but that's probably because he wasn't taking that weight seriously. It's too light for him.

I’d say to Nick that your hips are shooting up first as you pull the bar off the floor, so I’d try and pull more slack out of the bar at the start and get your upper back and lats more engaged, which should help with the rounding as well. Might also be good to start with your hips in a higher position.

Nik: You look like you are doing a good job of setting your upper back (can see the retraction/depression of the shoulder blades), however I think you are setting up with your hips too low. As soon as you begin the pull, your hips rise before the bar leaves the ground and it looks like it is having the upstream effect of pulling your upper back out of position (increasing thoracic rounding). Back rounding isn't necessarily a mechanism for injury so I wouldn't worry about it for that reason, however, as you progress, the fact that you lose your shoulders will eventually make your lockouts super hard. Once it gets sufficiently heavy its going to be very difficult to make up the ground your shoulder blades lost when you initiated the pull. Try lightening the load a bit, and see if you can find that ideal start position with your hips a bit higher and your torso a bit more bent over/horizontal to the floor. It may feel a little more awkward at first, but with how nicely you set your shoulder blades I think this may help a lot. Once you start to see the bar and hips rising uniformly together, that is your ideal start position and then start progressing it back up from there. I should add, it doesn't look like you are jerking the bar, but make sure when you initiate the pull to build up as much tension as you can. Really "squeeze" all the slack out of the bar as you squeeze your shoulder blades back and down. Make sure to check out ALL of Bryce's videos regarding pulling out slack and initiating with leg drive. You should have the bar pulled in so tight that any leg/hip movement should translate directly into bar movement. Your hips rising is the main issue I see, but I figured I would add this since whenever I lose my shoulder blades it pretty much always was due to me rushing the start of the lift. My hips/legs overpower my shoulders/lats and I either miss or I have to fight at the top to bring everything back.
I'm not a powerlifter but love lifting of any type. Really enjoyed this video. Very informative. LOVED the respectful constructive criticism. 👌🏼

It looked like Nick at the end was pulling himself out of position? I believe IMO, he should try from the top to pull himself down to the bar with tension to create a solid starting position and pull the slack out of the bar. The Quad Father ironically helped me understand what it meant to stay tight during a lift. Tom Platz really got me thinking when he said during a squat to think of it like a piston and it worked for me. Not just in the squats, but in every movement it helps me to reassure myself to stay tight. You do a nice job of pulling the shoulders back in the beginning tho. Good luck Nick on your strength journey!

for the first clip with the squat (this applies to anyone) I would add if it feels you're squatting in running shoes try taking your shoes off and squatting in your socks once (you may have issues hitting depth) but your feet will be a much more solid base than those soles and your should instantly notice having better balance and power out of the hole especially at higher weights

I would say Nik might benefit from doing a whole lot of seated and bent-over rows and then getting his shoulders back and keeping them there. He's also needs to keep his hips lower longer into the pull - they are even starting too high. Hard to see where the bar is in relation to his shins, but I would put money on it floating too far in front - you can see bar path coming back in the first half of the lift. He's got his shoulders hanging out over the bar like you might for an oly lift, or even more than that, need the whole position to come backwards a tad.
@PlasmaFuzer

I was thinking the same thing about the bar path, but I didn't notice the text on the plates move when the bar left the ground. I agree though, maybe the bar just has rusty/dusty bushings so it doesn't rotate freely enough to show. Also agree with the accessory work recommendations. I'm curious though why you think he is starting too high. I came to the exact opposite conclusion lol. The lower you can get, generally the better; but if your hips shoot up before the bar leaves the ground doesn't that usually mean you're too low? Edit: Took another look, he is definitely kicking the bar out with his shins a bit as he brings himself down into position so I need my eyes checked. However once his hips rise up, and the bar starts to leave the ground no rotation.

Second guy: you recommended tucking elbows to get a lower touch point - I’ve seen other recommendations to get the low touch point, but then to actually flare the elbows from the bottom (presumably to avoid your elbows sitting farther forward than the bar, and to keep your joints stacked). I’m not sure if that recommendation came from studies or personal experience, but any thoughts?
@amelphist2265
3 жыл бұрын
For Nick: Hips are rising before the bar/shoulders are rising, so work on the starting position, pulling yourself into the bar for more tension in the bar, then leg press the floor. Thats also the reason your hips shoot forward way too soon for your back to straighten in an easier position and your legs have to finish. The weight may just be too heavy for your muscles. Practice with lighter weights.

Nicks back is rounding because his legs extend at start of the pull too much and back takes most of the load. He should start pulling by sitting down to his butt to activate glutes and hamstring. This move puts bar more optimal path to begin with and takes load of from back at beginning of the pull. Also it looks like bar is too much at front. This makes suboptimal starting point. Bar haven't move at all and his legs are almost fully extended. It is all back, hardly any legs doing work.
@henriksvensson126

Squatting 405 lbs sets of 5 when max is around 600 lbs sounds way to light. He should do sets of 5 around 81%ish of his max to make progress I think. Also mixing in Box-squats would not be a terrible idea if the guy is going for power. To kill the momentum by squatting from a box makes it way harder and more rewarding in my opinion.

The guy who was worried about his wrists had cause to be, surprised Bryce didn't see how far back he had his wrists cocked and give teh standard advice about positioning the bar over the middle of the "column" of your forearm, instead of hanging way back like that. It almost even looks like his forearms are not perpendicular at some points, and angle backwards. The back of your wrist should be at about a 45 degree angle to your forearm, not 90 degrees.

Try not to train with it until you hit like 85%+ of your 1rm, (though be used to it enough that you know how to use it). That way you won't overly rely on it and when you put it on it will be a mental and physical boost and you probably will get a few kgs more. That's how I use one, anyway.

At the end, Nicks dead lift weight is too heavy. His butt shoots up first which tells me he’s not utilizing quads off the floor. He could take lighter weight and pull himself into position which will help pull the slack out. But triples with that form might hurt one day

How tf is he gonna learn to lift heavy then? The more time you spend in that threshold the more adapted you are to grinding with those weights. If you only do triples at RPE 7 then the day you go to test your 1rm you WILL get injured. The only thing he’s doing wrong that I can see is starting with his hips too low.
