Jeff. Thanks for all your work and dedication. Your videos are incredibly helpful, and happy to see two a week now. I do have an issue about my squats though. I have been building up this year, just becoming active enough to really begin strengthening major muscle groups. I have a Ventra C1 at home with a squat rack that is not linear, but a -pendulum- style if you know what I mean. At the bottom of the squat the bar is below perpendicular to the pivot point, and at the top of the squat the bar is well above the pivot point. I would like to see more basic and fundamental -best practices- in the squat and specifically I'd like to know if doing my squats on my Ventra is not good for some reason. I'm conscious of my back as it has been a problem for me in the past and don't want to be building up to a bigger issue. Thanks so much.

Hey, Jeff. I love this video and have been doing this for 2 weeks. When I do barbell squats I notice that I favor my right side quite a bit, and I hold back on adding more weight for obvious reasons. To combat this problem, I do DB lunges and other single leg lunge variations, but I am looking for other recommendations. I want to improve my squat, but I'm not doing something right. I don't want to completely exclude squats from my training, so is there another exercise I could do to help with this imbalance? Or is there a different technique I could use? I see this problem a lot in the gym, so I'm sure a video would help others as well.

Hi Jeff, I did my leg workout yesterday and used 6kg dumbbells as weights and I also implemented this exercise, that targets my thighs. Along with this exercise, I did squats and lunges. When I did squats I had my knees facing out, so I could target my thighs.
I am only 14 years old and try to gain muscle, but I am afraid that if I use weights in my workouts my growth will be stunned. Do I have to worry about my growth when I use weights in my workouts(please answer)
I appreciate your effort Jeff, keep up the good work!

What tips do you have for strengthening your lower back without hurting yourself. Dead-lifts help, but mostly I want to know how I can help strengthen my erector muscles so I can lift more on dead-lift. As I do my dead-lifts it is hard for me to keep my back straight while I lift around 400 lbs, and I'm not gonna be one of those guys who is basically doing a straight legged dead-lift, because I stand up and lift with my back.

Jeff can you do a video about when to take supplements. I don't know when the best time to take my amino acids and after I workout I eat my lunch so should I take my post workout with my meal? Just a video about when to take supplements and combining with meals or not would be helpful

Thanks. I have exatcly this issue. I use a wide stance for squats and I always feel my adductors sore. Can you explain a little bit more detail how the adductors are used in a squat? Are they used just in the descent?

Great stuff Jeff. I suffered a pull groin almost a year ago, and I still don't feel that I can do lateral movements to my left or get alot of external rotation on that side. Any suggestions. Thanks. David

Man, I remember my first leg workout, I was so sore all over, especially in my adductors and abductors, I was walking like a penguin the whole 3 days afterwards, and even that, I was barely able to do.

I use the abductor machine
55 years old and the more blood I can push into the groin the better
Open up the blood vessels in your groin and your other half will love it ha ha ha
