. lol low bar squats allow you to go heavier and also you have butt wink (not perfect technique) and almost an olympic style squat (you are actually too upright, not breaking at the hips enough) which isn't ideal for maximizing weight. also, your abs should be engaged the entire time even if they aren't showing up in studies as the most engaged, its super important actually. I'm natty but I've squatted over 500 before and hit 315x20

My gym only has a smith machine, and I've been avoiding using it because I've been told that it forces the body to move in an unnatural way. But what I learned from this video is that, the bar should move vertically on a straight path which is exactly how a smith machine operates. And since at the end of the video you also mentioned that it is okay to use the smith machine for beginners, I'm thinking of going back to using it again.

Hey Jeff. I had a surgery to the right ankle (reconstruction after 2 ripped ligament and multiple fractures, damn soccer) and I have now more stability, but dont have as much flexibility than before. Barely can get my knee to my toes level. I definitely cant get that low without opening the right foot to the exterior or getting the knee valgus mistake. How would you suggest me to adapt the exercice knowing my limitation? Thanks

So being 6'5 I definitely lean forward a lot more than Jeff does. I don't see how it's possible with my leg length to not lean forward. I'll fall backwards, because the weight won't be centered over my body. Anybody have any input on this? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or am I just forced to squat like this due to my height? I do squat with a wider stance already due to my long legs.

Dude, I never leave comments but I'm so impressed with your technique. So much attention to detail and it makes sense Specifically the tighten the abs tip. I always wondered about that. It never seemed right. I'm assuming for deadlift that to tighten the abs is somewhat of a flawed technique? Anyhow, outstanding video and very valid. We need more videos like this one on youtube.

My biggest problem is mobility. I can't get that deep because my ankle mobility won't allow even pressure on my foot. I'm unable to bend my ankle back enough to distribute weight evenly, causing all the weight to go onto my toes, which causes me to fall backwards. I have to put plates under my heels to keep this from happening. What can I do to increase the mobility in my ankles?

Hi Jeff and anyone here. I am an avid fan Great videos and super useful I have a left leg discrepancy around. 48cm and mostly when i squat or deadlift, I use a small padding on my leg to even out the distribution of my power when doing the push. I also do some isolations to strengthen both leg. Do you have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it - John

3: 05 you say In my experience I think the high bar squat protects the back more. causing stress to the lower back is not a bad thing, causing TOO MUCH stress is. Saying in a video that high bar protects the lower back creates unnecessary fear among your novice viewers. You should try not to label exercises as such, as it is simply incorrect.

Anyone who can dunk/has massively increased their vertical jump. how much do heavy squats and deadlifts play a role in that? I am about 6'2, 182 lbs and I can tap the rim but can't grab it or dunk. I have only messed around very basically with squats but have never actually done them consistently or with heavy weight. Any advice?
