Squat Form Critique Ravenfraust 1 6 monthsRavenfraust (7): Hey guys, Just started lifting again after a very long time. I realized my squats have become quite bad. I feel like I am leaning too forward with butt wink and not breaking parallel. I've had videos of me squatting from a long time ago but my form is still the same. I read about ankle mobility and I did some wall test. I Couldn't touch the wall with my knee with my toes 5 inches apart from the wall. Plus my heels go off the ground and I...

How Can I Get Stronger? Add to my workout. JakeSimmonds 17 3 yearsJsn3004 (3265): So which one is it? Because now you're changing your mind every other post. You have a camera on your phone, all you have to do is record yourself performing the lift. You don't need to ask the gym for permission, and nobody is going to file a grievance.

I don’t really want to invest in the power lifting shoes although they cast the same as the air max’s. I just get the flatter sole met cons

NEED HELP leg workouts!!! anteis99 3 5 yearsJsn3004 (3265): A workout won't get your legs lean. Having a low bodyfat percentage will make your legs leaner. I'd recommend bulking up though, you're lean enough. I'd follow a program and stick to that and your legs will become more developed. If you make your own program, I recommend reading this first. http://forum.simplyshredded.com/topic/16702/page/1/routine-design-for-dummies-10/

You'll probably discover some interesting knowledge about your eating habits. Oh, and don't forget to practice your Rugby. And when...

DL and S Hambo Jump to first page58Jump to last page 5 yearsNorIda (46958): @Hambo nah bro. Muscles are only soft when the glycogen levels are low. That's one of the great reasons to eat carbs to be "fuller" that along with muscle density will prevent any muscles to be soft at the touch.

Not a tighter butt, but a bigger butt balkan123 3 5 yearsA_em (2424): Don't igonre hip thrusts/glute bridges. I feel like girls are so crazy about the squats, but there are many other exercises that will help you build nice, round glutes. As mentioned- hip thrusts, lunges, floor work (with ankle weights/resistance bands) focusing on your hamstrings (e. g. donkey kicks, rainbows). I do circuit training on a leg/glute day and I love it. A lot of different movements with heavy/low weight. Just keep it...

Patella pain when squatting kozzletoff 25 5 yearseknight (58109): @lauralovestolift there's no such thing as a VMO exercise though. There are quad exercises. They all work the VMO; they also all work the other three heads. It's incorrect to advise someone to attempt to work such a specific area of the quads. You either work them all or you don't, unless you're going to hook up Russian ESTIM while doing quad sets. Insofar as the knee valgus, the picture you linked demonstrates just that. You may not have...

Knee sleeves Zepa 14 6 yearsBeans (4204): I use Rehbands. I like them a lot. They fit pretty well and are easy to put on and take off. I've had them for 2+ years, squat 2+ times a week with them. I only have them on when I squat. I take them off for the rest of my workout and wash them after every 1 or 2 uses. I hear people say theirs have worn out but mine are mint, so I'm assuming this helps.
low bar squat versus high bar squat Hambo 20 6 yearsbslo (262): I like to do both. I can go much heavier with low bar so thats what I tend to do my heavy sets with but if Im doing some rep/hyper work I usually do high bar.
eating/drinking on a PL comp leanr0x 6 6 yearscraig (835): I'm close to the 93kg limit so eating before weigh in is usually out for me. I weigh in and then smash pop tarts, bcaas, bananas and some sweets. I've actually not eaten much when the comp has started which is probably a mistake, I think the last one I ate a chocolate flapjack and had a few energy drinks.

Squat test/growth hormones vs. Leg press ATN_Coaching Jump to first page34Jump to last page 7 yearsjonrivs49 (3001): @golagola. Im just saying hypertrophy occurs on both squat and leg presses. If your injured you can still built decent amount of legs by leg pressing. but if not, dont make excuses not to squat. Leg press gives you hypertrophy but squatting will benefit you more. In squat you also build overall body strength. More weight to handle means more weight for hypertrophy that leads you to more muscle mass.

Leg development rwall89 7 7 yearsrwall89 (64): @GermanOakVolk yea I think I'm gonna drop it to 2-3 times a week because like I said I am hoping to compete in a spartan race this year so I do need to work on cardio. I would swim if my gym had a pool but I unfortunately don't have that luxury. I've tried the bike before but I don't feel as though it works my cardio as well as running unless I do I dead sprint pedal. And thanks for the advice

Hypertrophy Leg Training andykeating 17 7 yearseknight (58109): IMO calf raises are better than toe presses, and if you can rig up a donkey calf with a belt, that's even better. http://www.davedraper.com/pmwiki/uploads//PmWiki/Donkey1.png -3X

Squats with "perfect form" question mikew 11 8 yearsAarronStenner (10990): After watching a lot of Kelly starrett vids you should be able to squat with knees pushing out and good thoracic detention ATG with and with our weights, doing it with weights is a good indicator where the weak part of your squat is. However most people can't do this including me so I'm working on it

Prior to those squats I did some foam rolling and stretching but couldn't manage to do another set.. to prevent injuring myself i just called it quits for the day..leg power on tuesday, hopefully this doesn't occur again
Stretching to relieve pain Jsn3004 1 8 yearsJsn3004 (3265): Before I started working out seriously I had some lower back problems from sports and having pretty tight hamstrings.

Do any of you guys stretch for long periods of time?

Splitting Quads and Hamstrings swollenscott 11 8 yearseknight (58109): @swollenscott many people actually train back and biceps together. Not sure why you are under the impression that that's a rarity. But to answer your question, both your biceps and triceps are active in upper back movements, along with the delts, pecs, traps, and rotator cuffs. If you have to pair back with something, you have a much greater list of things to choose from than with thighs and glutes, which are not only synergistic, but work as a...

Front Squats Jsn3004 9 8 yearsNJT (253): @pandasashi Maybe isolate isn't the right word, but because you tend to go a bit lower on front squats I feel a majority of the concentric movement hits my quads a lot harder than back squats but not so much on my hams.

Paused/Box squats in PHAT? barrylol 8 8 yearseknight (58109): Who said anything about a bouncing pad? The box is there for depth. Louis Simmons 3 reasons for box squatting: * Enforce Proper Technique. You can't cheat depth and you learn to sit back by moving your hips first. Box Squats also improve hip mobility. * Develop Hip Power. Box Squats have you start from a dead stop in the bottom position. This develops a strong, explosive posterior chain. * Safer. Rounding the lower back on Squats is common....

My f*cking Hero Oleksander Kutcher IrishGymSheep 8 8 yearsMonster81 (1678): Holy fuck! I've noticed the weights dip to my right side when I squat. Is that floating squat rack a scale as well? Just curious.
Inner quad FxElement17 5 8 yearsFiremanSi (42408): U can't exactly isolate that part of the leg as the whole all 3 heads work in most quad related exercises.. But Single leg squats & Lunges or weighted bear crawls get that goin for me.
Squat Jayatfc11 18 8 yearsJayatfc11 (274): Yeah I get what you mean! I hit lunges hard too can hardly walk now! Felt good low bar! Yeah ok take that on board might do a PR twice build up and keep hitting new heights! I find when my nutrition and hydration are spot on I deliver
question about squats alexis22 27 8 yearsjonrivs49 (3001): double facepalm..

Smith machine squat zogger 11 8 yearsFiremanSi (42408): I'm in the same position as you. My new gym has no squat rack, by my station gym does so on my second leg day i do high reps. I clean and press the olympic bar over my head and squat then for 12-15reps or 15-20reps instead of heavy smith machine. I dont recommend it to beginners because its tricky. Thats one crazy option, desperate but works for some. Goblet squats are great also, lunges are killer. Leg press, hack squat. Single Leg squats...
OMG. I wanna squat now. SRorhrbac0808 12 8 yearsCannonball (6283): A bit over 1000 lbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1RJLFHtxIQ
Deadlift/Squat _RudeCrew 14 8 yearsThedude67 (3088): @Markovich Jump over to Maarten-Log, watch the vid...
Front Squat vs Back Squat ilifthard 5 8 yearsBallerj63 (1): I mix it up at times. Front squats are challenging and allows me to get deeper in the movement. Front squats leave me sore as hell 2 days after the workout. DOMS is a bitch!
Goblet squats BaiTu 5 8 yearsMcQueef (2982): I've done goblet squats, but I don't consider them a substitute for BB Squats. With that said, I think they were instrumental in improving my squat form and depth, so I still mix them into leg day just to reinforce the good habits I've acquired from them. I've recently transitioned to a low-bar BB Squat, so I like to do a few sets of goblet squats afterward since they mimic more of a high-bar squat (high chest, knees in front). But yeah...
Some NIqqA said i was squatting bad!?!?!?!? DFMaster240 17 8 yearsDFMaster240 (577): hey guys is it ok if when i am squatting, i am 6ft1 ,and i go below parralel and at the bottom of the squat my lower back goes from being fully archd to straight but not ROUNDED, likei cant help my self if i tried to keep my back fully arched throught the whole squat i would go only be able to go to only above parralel until me back gets staright .????? This i was concerned about, is it ok at the bottom of the squat for my lower back to be...
Need some professional advice or pointers! Jayatfc11 6 8 yearsJayatfc11 (274): Any suggestions @eknight or just go see a specialist?
Hack squats? _RudeCrew 4 8 yearsYoungbrah (112): I use the trap bar deadlift, seems to be a very similar range of movement as the hack squat, and for me the hacksquat feels really awkward
Squats Instructional Video Spankky 3 8 yearsNorIda (46958): 1) Try to actually get your legs in the video.. Its a leg exercise, I don't need to see your face. Feet up! lol Its all an angle game, if we can't see half the angles, we can't critique your form. 2) You mention elbows up, which is fantastic. But you want to keep your wrists straight as well. Having them bent is going to put an un-needed stress on your elbows. You want your body to hold up the weight. Not your arms. Just two rants/critiques...
Failing on Squats nosquatch 1 8 yearsnosquatch (25): Failed on my very last rep of 3x3 285lb sqauts with no spot. No worries, the squat rack is my friend :) Don't be afraid to test your limits fellows.

Added 45 lb. to my Squat in One Month (PHAT) nosquatch 6 8 yearsdavid12345676 (8566): lolololl looks like freaking bane is spotting you.
Barbell Hack Squat jonrivs49 19 8 yearsDirkenhiemer (12157): we've told you several times to quit lifting and let it heal and you don't take our advice. Don't call someone out when he is just pointing out the fact!
#meow#squat#VIDS#formcheck#slowprogression SRorhrbac0808 13 8 yearsSRorhrbac0808 (47098): eh.... Kinda lol. I'll admit. SHit was heavy LOL. I FEEL it today (2 days later) haha. Trying to recover asap
squat form check OhhLoLo 12 8 yearsDukenhiemer (23939): @Sick, it looks like your knees are going in a little bit, I used to have the same problem until I've started doing some adductor and abductor and have noticed a big difference already. I would try it out, if I were you!
Squatzzzz Fo' Dayzzz SRorhrbac0808 11 8 yearsSRorhrbac0808 (47098): just 4 u .... maybe ill get some tomorrow. Consider yourself lucky if i do :)
Squat technique OhhLoLo 18 8 yearsthe1 (33861): i am probably a high-bar squatter.. narrow stance
Legs!!!! shultz91 14 8 yearsThor (5028): I've noticed good progress in my hams the last 6 months through: -Relatively heavy (120kg) SLDL going very slow on negative (10 reps), then supersetting with isolated hammy curls. -Heavy, slow negatives on a seated hammy curl. I know everyone focuses on the quads since they look pretty aesthetic, but you can pick up a good amount of width through your hamstrings, and they actually balance your physique really nicely.
Box squat In4gainZ 17 8 yearsZny93 (91): @In4gainZ Box so you can sit down and take a break on it, you know.. for when things get tough
Exercises to Develop outside of QUADS ?????? FiremanSi 9 8 yearsFiremanSi (42408): Ha ha... Cheers lads great ideas. Yeah bad phrasing not tryin to isolate so much but any way to put more focus on the lateralis during the exercise. Pak is a bit of a legend alright, have done the outward intention while squatting and it does keep that tension in the legs throughout. He does promote glutamine which we all know by know is HATED here.. But he still has some awesome ideas. Was wondering if i was clinging to straws with the idea...
deadlift/squat ?s c3pOMG 19 8 yearsIrishGymSheep (10554): Open thread to view post.
in need of squat help cassious 2 8 yearsbrian12 (9495): Your toes should point outwards - So no problem there. Also, try dropping the weight and go ATG - that will also help with your form
Bb hack squat In4gainZ 2 8 yearseknight (58109): There's no problem with that. Lots of guys do it. Front squats hit your quads more and take the hams out of the movement a bit. -3X
I don't trust my squat rack anymore BaiTu 18 8 yearsjonrivs49 (3001): Worrying to much will actually makes you weak. Even if you can lift that heavy ass weight to 10 reps. you might stop in the middle and will not finish the set due to the things you think might happen.
first real attempt at 405lbs, vid Flexin_allday 7 8 yearsSRorhrbac0808 (47098): ^ yah good tips nor..I agree on low bar most def (personal preference).. Congrats the1 on going up to 405.. It really is a mind set when you move up in weight on squats hhah I found each time I went up a 25 or 45 I just had to grab my sack and do it..... I bet money now that you did that 405 you will be able to do it a lot more comfortable from now on and get your form down better and better. All in all good job moving on up
Squat form critique (video) ionatan 6 8 yearscmc (112): I'am 6/3 also wider seems to work better for me. I like full range of motion. like above make sure to drive out on knees dont let them cave in. Think about driving through heels, spreading the floor and bending the bar across your back. More time under bar.
So, You want to Front Squat NorIda 21 8 yearsNorIda (46958): @wannabemuscular I hear that! I'm a fan of straps, but the perfectionist in me wants to do a clean hold lol. But the straps help a ton! Glad they worked for you man!
WTF I CANT SQUAT!!! FORM HELP!!!!WITH PICs. DFMaster240 30 8 yearsDukenhiemer (23939): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkrj4P9fcYY&feature=plcp @DF, the "butterfly" stretch has done wonders for my abductors.

Help with increasing my squat spyderboys 13 8 yearsDukenhiemer (23939): As far as a program? Ill be the broken record here. PHAT has definitely made my legs grow. But that is also due in part to the strength training I did prior to PHAT. The more strength you have means the more reps you can do at a higher weight which = progressive overload which = growth. Don't forget to have a proper diet either. Too many people over look that!
I remember my first Squat... Nyko 5 8 yearseventheodds1 (5644): Yea i need to invest in knee wraps. My quad is so wobbly when leg pressing heavy shit. Feel like any rep cud be into snap city.
lower back.. lift4life 20 8 yearsKFC (133): I have this problem. although mine got sore when sitting for extended periods of time, and even running for more than 10minutes. I went to physio and they got me strengthening my abs and doing a lot of stretching. seems to be doing the trick. Just read akk's post. and yeah pretty much doing stability exercises.

Weak Part of Squat AarronStenner 7 9 yearsIrishGymSheep (10554): Raw squatters rec paused squats more than box squats from what I've read box squat is a gear thing, Poliquin makes people go down then to parallel then down and then up fully might want to try that. Front squatzzzzz

Adding DeadlifT/Squats to this workout...... dragonite 7 9 yearseknight (58109): You don't just grow on training days. Recovery isn't that linear, so keeping cals higher on rest days is equally important. -3X

Hack Squats brian12 5 9 yearseknight (58109): I use a machine. Barbell hacks just feel awkward. -3X
Shoulder Flexability AarronStenner 2 9 yearsJelet (2190): Iv had the same problem when doing low bar. I couldnt win.. To get the bar securely on my back, my rear delts would cramp/pinch. And if i widened my grip i would be good but the bar would not be secure.. I felt a little pinch and if i widened my grip the bar would not be tight and would be moving. Thats y i do high bar squats

Quads Quadsssssss BEASTIX 23 9 yearsBEASTIX (103): ME day looks balanced?
ATG Squats Massthetics 5 9 yearsIrishGymSheep (10554): Alot of amateur oly lifters just wear converse. When I see people doing non atg squats I have the overwhelming urge to go upto them and ask who stole the rest of their squat.
Squat rep range slamdoozle 11 9 yearsBEASTIX (103): you cant avoid from gaining SIZE, but the good thing that this size will make your much more stronger and exploviness and just think about it - if you got now 60% fast twitch fibers on 20 inch thighs, and they will grow up to 25 inch after 6 months, so you will get 60% twitch fibers from 25 inch!!!! whice is alot more, in assuming that you grow 5 inch of pure muscle.

Oh and Im not gunna lie getting a MASSIVE pump un your quads just feels like them fuckers are growing!!! I get HELLA pumps when I super set leg presses and Leg extentions together as well as Sitting and Lying leg curls...or Stiff legged DLs with Lying leg curls... Both of those ^^^^ super Sets leave your legs FEELING BEAST LIKE!!!!!
squatting with block under heels? bullet 4 9 yearsspyderboys (136): i personally do them because 1. im tall and my football coach in high school told me that its hard to get as low as possible with such long legs so it helps me personally squat lower, but my main reason is i dont have good flexibility in my Achilles tendons so it helps me squat and not be on my toes or getting off balance
Smolov Squat Routine+Hypertrophy Hybrid KalletSc 3 9 yearsWinnersNeverQuit (10311): The upper body hypo could be done after the squat (as the dquat requires all out effort intensity), or on the two off days a weak provided the back hypo work puts very little on the spinal erectors, or you could run double splits, (morning and evening workouts)
HAHAHHAHAHA LOL @ This video SRorhrbac0808 11 9 yearsPopeye25 (1692): http://youtu.be/LE6PyA_atrs "if u dont grow from this workout u have a testosterone issue .. or a vagina" watched a lot of his vids hes too funny

heavy squats and thin waist? Cannonball 5 9 yearsCannonball (6283): obv I'll squat, but I think I'll not progress any further than say 350 lbs or so, and then just maintain strength and do leg curls and such
Box Squats skullay 4 9 yearsbrian12 (9495): I use a bench half the time and nothing the other half. Same weight on both.. But I somehow feel 'safer' having the bench. I can focus more on moving the weight and less on gauging my depth..
Front squatting AKK 6 9 yearsNorIda (46958): You'll lean a bit forward, that's why I advise the over emphasis of pressing your elbows to the ceiling.
Deadliftin & Squatin Shoes // Knee Sleeves SRorhrbac0808 8 9 yearsSwayz87 (9039): Yooo!!! at what point would yall kunts even start wrapping your ish????

Plateauing Gains - SQUATS BossasaursRex 5 9 yearsChristf (2910): Stretch them out and then strengthen them through exercise. If you google "hip flexor stretching" it should put you on the right track
Feet place during squats? Ludde 8 9 yearsChristf (2910): Yeah most likely. I'm not flexible at all so doing ATG is not comfortable whatsoever. Plus my left knee feels weird when I squat, so that doesn't help. Try to get more flexibility and strengthen your hips man
legs routine igg 3 9 yearsigg (2626): forgot to add that i'll be adding 20seconds to my squats every session till i get to 8mins, that should be brutal. edited*

Low-bar squats BaiTu 5 9 yearsseansm10 (906): watch a lot of videos and kind of piece the common denominators together. i think as its lower youl lean forward a bit more so you maintain your centre of gravity
Belts Monster81 2 9 yearsDETERMINED1 (2239): you can swich back and leg day around so that your back is not sore when you do squats or you can buy a belt.... i prefer to use a belt when doing squats regardless...but sometimes like today i forget to take it to the gym

Why exactly are squats and deads king ? Popeye25 12 9 yearsMyOwnEntity (1074): Look man, instead of critiquing the advice I gave, you should be more worried about researching it yourself. I said body part, not exercise. You obviously don't want to go heavy, low reps on tricep kick backs or leg extensions but you can go heavy with low reps on any body part. Legs- Squat, Deads, Leg press. Chest- Bench, Dips. Bis- BB curl Tris- Skull crushers, Dips, Close grip bench. Back- Pullups, BB or DB rows. Shoulders- Military...
