    “Medial Rotation”… at last, I have a name for what’s been ailing me. I can squat a ton of weight, but my shoulders are so stiff and tight I can’t get under the bar without my arms being strung as tight as a crossbow. Will try all three stretches you suggest. THANKS! -BigLittleTim

    Arch your back, curl your toes up, keep the bar directly above the middle of your feet.

    Maybe this is true for a high bar squat. In a low bar squat the elbows need to be raised. When the elbows are down the weight gets carried by the arms and causes injury. The arms shouldn’t support the weight during the squat, the back should.

    when i try and squat my back always bends so i’m leaning forward and i always tend to fall backwards. i think it might be because my back is weak. any suggestions?

    Very helpful, thanks. I like how you describe your exercises and stretches, detailed and to the point. Thanks for now giving an hour lecture on how the whole body works just to show few muscle exercises. :)
    I used to have shoulder pain when I did bench press and some other exercises but after similar stretches and few bar positioning adjustments the pain went away.

    Helpful video. My neck is always hurting when I lift. I think I’m straining my neck too much in 95% of my exercises – not including the squat.

    Where I come from you break 90 or get red lights.. No options on that one!

    In order to recruit the fast twitch fibers found in the glutes you MUST go below 90 degrees.

    How far is your ass going to the grass?
    Knees 90 degrees or lower?
    The opions are kinda different how to do a ful SQ.

    Slim down – remove fat

    There is a lot of detail about the technique in Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength 2nd Ed. book. It’s highly recommended (by experts, not just me) especially for young athletes or those coaching them.

    sounds like im going to have to give that a try! i see power lifters squat like that.

    Need to lose weight?

    The most common reasons – because they involve posterior chain more (thus, balancing the forces on the knee), they lower the torque on the lumbar region, and they allow the bar to sit comfortably on a more “meaty” area over the scapula (rather than the over the traps which are often underdeveloped in younger athletes and lead to the arms taking some of the weight – creating the problem you are correcting). I was just curious why you choose high bar over low bar. Any reason?

    Why not teach low bar position squats instead? Especially for young football players.

    Thanks for your very helpful stretching advice! I’ll remember to keep those elbows down.

    Question: Is it normal for the muscles in my lower back to be a bit sore the day after squats?

    Once again, thanks for the great vid!
