WHAT'S CRACKIN' GUYS LOWBAR AIRSOFT HERE. Alan, this video is next level. The editing, information flow and well placed humour are all seamlessly combined here. I respect the amount of time you put into this. This is the new standard. I thought Jeff's exceptionally well edited videos were maybe the future direction of "informative" KZitem Fitness but this...this right here is it. Now lets get this video to 1 million views.

Alan Thrall - Wanted to send you a quick note of thanks. After decades of not training I recently dusted off my equipment and started lifting (Thanks COVID-19 :)). Your videos have been both educational and entertaining (especially this one). The fact that you are willing to re-vist this topic and update your opinions is s sign of wisdom. Wish I could have had access your videos 30 years ago, but in truth having them now (as an old guy) is more valuable than ever. Keep up the good work and best wishes to you and your family sir.

This is why your channel is by far the best. You've updated so much of your content based on your experiences, and have repeatedly thrown your old methods and logic under the bus. Thank you so much for all you do and for your service to our country. Your content has helped me so much, I can't possibly thank you enough. I was weak and lacked much confidence before I found your channel about 6 months ago. You've inspired me a great deal. Now my confidence is high, my form on every lift has improved dramatically (squat from 155 @ RPE10 to 285 @ RPE8, deadlift from 215 @ RPE10 to 330 @ RPE8, and bench from 145@RPE10 to 225@RPE8), and everything in my life is starting to fall into place. Thanks again, man. Have a great day.

Thank you for making this video. This issue has plagued the fitness community and caused me a ton of issues when I first started and drove me insane for years thinking I had to go below parallel. As a matter of fact, I can’t do it without injuring myself. I have a hip joint deformity like many other people do. My squat looks a lot like your friends who are Olympic weightlifters and that’s as low as I can go. I wish someone told me it was okay when I first started. It would have saved me a lot of the bullshit I went through as a beginner.

I've been watching for a few years now. First comment - but just wanted to pass along my thanks for the great instruction, entertaining comment, and the help you've given me (and all of us) at improving my (our) lifts. I am now a much more technically proficient lifter than I was 2 years ago when I started watching. So, thanks for everything. The squat depth video you made a while ago about how you were cutting depth to remain tight and controlled throughout the movement was game changing to me - I always squatted Ass to Grass. Deadlift was always my most challenging lift, I had huge issues with rounding my back - no longer. These are the results of your coaching through these videos.

Fantastic video! I LOVED IT! I'm an old guy, "retired" caver now retraining after losing a good bit of fat over the past year. Gym climbing, body weight stuff, biking; probably will start doing some runs in the next few months, since the lower limb joints seem pretty solid. Sadly, the old shoulder injuries have been giving me hell for several weeks so my pull/push/row stuff has been forced into an idle-on-the-run-way status until I can get my right rotator cuff de-fucked. For me flexibility, coordination, endurance and sufficient strength are most important things, so intensity is only valuable to the extent that it trains for those goals, or else to the extent it increases metabolism. After age 50 and without any juice, it seems hard to know how valuable intensity really is. But one thing I can tell you for certain: if the ligaments and tendons are not up to snuff, more intensity ain't gonna help! With all that said, deeper squats with less weight are what seem right for me right now. Each athlete has to (or should anyway) decide what is right for them and the fact you convey that axiom is the greatest part of your video!

Personally it was always unnatural for me to stop and not go ATG. My hip mobility allows it. I'd rather go with what feels more natural even with lower weight than doing experiments.
@thebiggestpanda1
5 жыл бұрын
Drop Down I’m the opposite. I have the mobility for ATG, but my bone structure requires me to lean forward when doing it. It practically becomes a bent leg good morning. If I want to stay vertical, I can barely hit parallel without losing tension and it fucks up my knees to go super low. Once I started squatting the way my body wants to, all of a sudden my knee pain was gone and the whole movement felt much better. People still stop me in the gym to tell me I need to work on my form when it’s just how I’m built.
@USMCLP
3 жыл бұрын
@thebiggestpanda1 Honestly don’t understand how your knees hurt at the bottom of the squat. The most sheer tension on the patella is right at parallel, and decreases as the depth increases. My knees personally feel ten times better squatting ATG. It just demands more of your glutes and lower back though.
@Lisekplhehe

Well, honestly it feels easier to go ATG and bounce back, than go parallel, so it's the opposite, at least for me.

Probably there is a case for “quarter squatting” for regular sports athletes like basketball, football, American football etc. Because it “carries over” to some in play movements like jumping or accelerating or getting off the mark. Maybe not as shallow as quarter squatting but a bit deeper.

Just don't start with your knees, and when going back up push through with your feet. And make sure you don't fall over.

Yes, ATG Squats do give off a bigger Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy (volume), but parallelizing at 90 degrees as in the Powerlifting stance with heavier loads may induce Myofibrillar Hypertrophy (effective number of muscle fibers) which might give off more lifting functionality. After all, keeping the quads and hams in tension should be, after all, a more demanding and intense exercise than purely bouncing via an unconscious reflex.

I am trying to transition from squatting like a powerlifter to a weightlifter so I can learn oly lifts. Problem is I just can’t get a$$ to grass while keeping my upper body completely upright the way I see most oly lifters do without putting my feet wider than shoulder width. I’m talking like my hammies are touching the back of my calves. I can’t get that low. I also have wide shoulders too and a herniated L5. I think I have been babying it for a few years now and trying unconsciously to keep my back as straight as possible while leaning forward to use my gluteus as much as possible to protect my back. So now after squatting this way for the past 12 years, I lack mobility in my spine and calves. Is there any hope for me to learn oly lifts? Do I have to squat a$$ to grass when doing a snatch?

28 years ago when I started bodybuilding I was shown and told there was ass to grass Then as a personal trainer and fitness instructor it was 90 degrees But 2 things I learnt, I have damaged both knees I can't bend ass to grass and I couldn't do normal squatting stance the other thing I noticed when I was working in the gyms when people say they can't squat people automatically say they are not flexible but it's not always that case Lots of things to consider A bone structure which leads onto ladies gents race weight height age and so on So if anyone couldn't even get 90° I used the squat as a functional exercise and find other exercises to build legs

6:20 I don't understand the depth criticisms. If you freeze every squat at the lowest point, it's all depth. At worst, parallel in Omar's case. I feel like people truly don't understand how knee and foot positioning/angle affects depth. A lot of squats look shallow in real time, but when you freeze them at the low point, it's good.

On my last cycle, I realised I had an issue hitting depth when I went for pr weights. For me, the issue was partly stance and partly mental block, I was scared of getting pinned at the bottom. This cycle I've been exaggerating the depth, with some improvement, but as with everything, a small change in technique has put back my progress somewhat. Personally, I don't mind my progression being a little slower if my technique is back on track, plus if I upload anything to insta, I'd prefer to be part of the solution than part of the problem (i.e. encouraging noobs not to hit depth).
