squat

It used to be that the bar had to be on the shoulders and there were (iirc, at least in the feds I completed in) rules that explicitly stated that the bar could be placed on the back no lower than the profile of the shoulder. Maybe it's just my old man memory, but I know Ernie Frantz writes...

Well, I think the praise has to be shared between Geoff Neupert and Brett Jones because I got hints of this back when running Geoff's C&P programs and the DFSQ from his KB Burns series, but nevertheless: Although I had every intention of running S&S alongside Iron Cardio, things didn't work out...

Squat variation. Hard version: bottom up kettlebell.

I'm currently training for SFG1 and while I was watching vids on youtube I saw this one: It's Brett Jones talking about the Goblet Squat and the kettlebell holding position. To keep the counterbalance he put the kettlebell just a little away from the chest to descend perpendicular to the...

Hey everyone, im hoping someone who has done plan strong could help clear up some confusion, I'm currently prepping for SFL, I'm using the programming methods I learned from Plan strong. My goal is to use it to build up my X2 bodyweight deadlift. I notice Deadlift is partnered with Squats in...

I'm looking for a minimalist program that focuses on the Bench, Squat, and Deadlift. PTTP is an extremely interesting program to me and I hear great things about it. I want to implement it as soon as I'm done with bootcamp and whatnot. But I am curious if it'd be too taxing to add Squats to the...

Hi, I have been lifting on and off for about a year, and recently came off a long forced layoff. I would like to learn the powerlifts (DL,SQ,BP) well before I start practicing them again and to this end I've been reading Deadlift Dynamite. I've read and re-read all the progressions relatively...

My goal is strength and to build overall size and have bigger numbers. My question is, ive always been plagued with knee pain due to being quad dominant, however I've heard that leg curls (High rep) are brilliant before heavy squats (sets of five) to lubricate the joint and make the squat more...

Hi all, I'm wondering how to schedule a plan in which I would like to have S&S sessions and DL with Squats as in Reload? I have 5-6 sessions of S&S with 32kg (Timeless Simple competed), but I think in order to add some DL and SQ I would have to reduce to 3-4. The main goal would be to get...

Hi all, I’m new to the forum and I had previously posted a deadlift video and gotten some great feedback. I’m hoping to improve my squat as well and my goal would be to keep getting stronger and avoiding injury. Today I did a 5x5 at 215lb. Last couple of weeks I was working in the 10 rep range...

Hi, I'm Alex, I've been practicing with kettlebells for almost a year with some months off because of a mild left shoulder injury and problems with hemmorrhoids. While on pause I did the stretches from S&S and shoulder focused excercises for recovery, I've also been to a physical therapist a...

Hello all, Hoping to get a form check for my Squat. Here is my previous form check. The most important advice was that I needed to slow down and control my descent to consistently reach depth. Another issue was that my heels were coming up at the bottom of the squat (probably due to my...

Hi there guys! I've been training for about 3 years now, mostly crossfit and weightlifting. I started from being just a computer nerd into pulling 190kg deadlift and 160kg squat within 2 years. But, after that I could never go higher, and now I have problems lifting that weight aswell...

Hello all! I've been doing 3x5 goblet squats for my warmups and they are becoming one of my favorite mobility/activation exercises. However, I am wondering if there is a preferred way to get the bell up into goblet position. With a lighter bell like I'm using now I can muscle it up pretty...

Hello everyone, Can I get a Squat form check please? I am able to see three problems (please tell me if you see something else). (1) Sometimes my squats feel incredibly hard, and when this happens, I don't reach full depth for some of my reps. Today (Dec 13, 2020) I lifted 220 lbs for 3s x 5r...

Yesterday evening I did my first sets of heavy (for me, at least) back squats since March. While they went well, I still feel like I could use some advice for getting the bar into a better and more comfortable position on my back ('comfortable' being a relative term). Does anyone have any good...

Have finally decided to log my training. Which I should have done ages ago. Current program is S&S. Today’s session: Swings: 10*10 Emom for 10mins. TGU: 6 each side within 10 mins. Had yesterday off so felt fresh so pushed the TGUs. Swings feeling crisper than ever. Have decreased the...

Would like to hear any bodies feedback on my squat form, it feel like My knees are going over my feet way too much however my bar path is solid? Any help would be appreciated. I couldn’t upload a video unfortunately
