Love this video, thanks for the tips. Since the very beginning of my lifting career squatting has always been my best lift but I notice when it starts to get really heavy or i begin to get fatigued, the more my hips shoot back and i turn it into a goodmorning. I fixed this issue/made it better when I realized what I was doing. However, I was sick for two weeks, come back into the gym and have had 4 squat sessions and they've all just felt awful. Unbalanced, weak, and the bar movement just felt awful. I was used to working up to 3 sets of 365x5 and was having issues with 345x3. I know its just a speedbump but it's very demotivating. Thanks for these tips, hopefully by just dropping the weight down and really focusing on balance, and keeping my chest up will help.

Another awesome video Aaron, always look forward to watching your videos. The "good morning squat" is a default pattern for me during the last couple of reps in a set. I've been incorporating some weighted step ups to increase my quad strength but I found your take, that it's a coordination/Kinesiology problem, useful. I've been using the cue of pulling myself down on the eccentric and trying to use my glutes in the hole to drive my hips more horizontally towards my feet instead of vertically up. I've been using a long paused squats for bracing practice and I'll definitely use your 1.5 rep drill to help activate my quads for a synchronized hip and back angle in the ascent.Would hip flexor strength have any part to play in a "good morning squat"? Do you think squat depth plays a role here? In your squat, you achieve a deep squat depth with your glutes on your calves. Say in a higher depth squat where the horizontal displacement between the hips and the knees is greater, would this mean that more force is required, in this position, to stand vertically up out of the hole? Thanks for the awesome content!!
@SquatUniversity
6 жыл бұрын
Good questions! So the hip flexors do play a role but I believe it's more for the sake of aiding in core stability than in producing force to help with the ascension of the squat. As far as your other question, the position the squat is turned around definitely plays a part in how much strength is needed to ascend. Here's the thing though, even if there is more torque placed on one joint during this part, the body will help redistribute force from one joint to the other to over come this increased external torque. Depth also increases activation of different muscles. For example, the quads are increased in activation up to about 90 degrees of flexion, where as the glutes will continue to rise in activation the deeper you squat. So basically even if there is more force on one joint, the body will still work in the same way.

I think people worry too much about having a perfect looking squat and don't have into account things like body proportions and asymmetries. Some people are just gonna have a good morning squat and that doesn't mean they're doing anything wrong. Look at Clarence Kennedy. In the ascent, he strongly drives his hips back and his shins are almost vertical, having a good degree of a good morning squat. He pause squats 300 kg, though. Maybe he's doing things right.
@SquatUniversity
6 жыл бұрын
Yes there will be different squat techniques and variability due to anatomy - but there's a big difference between a different torso angle and a good morning fault. The fault describes the actual off balance squat. You can have a very forward torso angle and still be balanced (Layne Norton for example). I would not include Clarence at all in this category. I have used his videos many times as examples, and while he shows a powerful hip drive, his bar path still stays very balanced so it is far from a 'good morning' fault.

He used this cue for most all exercises: Good mornings, squats, press, curls,rows while standing, as well as lying or seated for benching, etc...to become one with the bench for stability.

Easier solution is to sit less during the during the day. It's pretty well known that the quads tighten when you sit and hamstrings/low back are lengthened along with weakened inactive glutes. Don't expect to be an exceptional athlete or weightlifter if you spend your day in an office.

I had a sit down job. I had to work my lower back, hamstrings. and glutes more than I worked my quads to keep some balance. I did lot of reverse planks between two benches or whatever I could use. You can certainly lighten the weight, but don't expect anything special. There's a reason why professional weightlifters and athletes train 2-3 times a day, activity & stability. My posture is much better when I stand throughout the day. My core is more stable because it's working more. There's less tendency to lean forward because of tight abdominals and quads whether doing squats or just walking. I have a standing desk at home. Some offices have them too.

@@jonmolina948 ... edit: On the flip side, how would you correct someone’s squat form who has a standing 8 hour office position? Lowering the weight and working on form and technique, right? I’m simply saying that for those who must be seated, such as truck drivers, any office workers, laboratory technician, that must be seated because the company does not allow standing desks. In such cases, resetting the weight to a more manageable load and working one's way back up where one is able to get their hips and shoulders to rise as one is a more feasible "solution." If an 8-hour seated office worker can do air squats, or a barbell with 25lb/45lb plates on either side (100lbs/135lbs) with perfect form, that means their motor pattern for a quality squat is there. But if they were to load up 185lbs/225lbs and their form starts to break, that simply means the load was too heavy. Drop the weight to 155lb, and then maintain their "perfect" form for reps, isn’t that a good indicator that dropping the load and working their way back up to 185/225 would be best if their work environment does not allow standing? The same goes with any other exercise, if someone’s deadlift form goes bonkers on 405lb, but the same person is able to properly deadlift 315lb, the wise thing to do would be to lessen the load and work on getting his/her strength up for a period of time until they approach 405lb again. Similar to athlete where a coach might tweak their mechanics (form) and they are able to hit a PR.

@@strawberryyogurt0 Everything you said is fine. Just bear in mind when you go hit the gym and do squats and then go sit down for an extended period of time, your hip flexors , your quads, and your abdominals are going to get more tighter because of the position they are put in, in addition to the delayed onset muscle soreness. It's additional work in the gym trying to stretch/loosen those muscles and to keep those opposing muscles tight and active. When you get older, it's especially important to figure everything out with how your job and lifestyle has affected you physically. I'm not saying standing all day for years is great, you need to sit down every once in a while to relieve compression on the spine and give the legs a rest. But it's more in line with what a squat is, which is downward force while you squat down and stand up. When you sit in a chair, you're a assisted and the posterior muscles important for stabilizing the squat are not working. And when you do any exercise in a chair, it immediately becomes an open chain exercise, which is not what the squat is. You can mention Tom Platz, who worked for a long time time in an office as a corporate recruiter. He was beyond exceptional with squatting. He did a lot of stretching and mostly used high reps but was squatting around 300kg below parallel. His form was mostly straight down, very upright, and very quad dominant. But he always active from an early age, & still gives seminars. It's hard to say if it affected him at all because light weight for him was 405 lbs for about 30 reps or more, which is what he often did.
