@Son Goku what you think about this dude's squat form video, especially where it starts from? is this official?




Thank you for choosing the #POWDA1 hotline for all your Coli Gym needs.

Not gonna lie, I didn't bother watching the whole video or the whole half in question. :russ:

It's Skwat U, their shyt is legit. :manny: It's Skwat U, their shyt is legit. :manny: (Quoted for emphasis.)


I will say though that some lifting cues are not universal.

Nothing he said was "wrong"; for example, I for one kick my feet out to form roughly a 22° angle so I don't need to consciously torque my knees out on the eccentric [the way down] because your knees follow where your toes go and angling my feet out does this automatically.

Angling my feet out hasn't helped me over the years. Feels like there is too much stress on my hips, and I'm trying to make up for it on ascension. I hope the knee torque is the key I've been looking for.

It's possible your hip flexors are weaker than ideal. :yeshrug:
The more frequency you give to a lift, the faster you're able to figure out which cues work for you and which ones don't. :manny:

If you're only squatting once a week and not doing any other exercises to strengthen your hip flexors, that could be part of the problem.

As I said earlier, all cues are not universal. Just gotta find what works for you. :ehh:

The N.O
Y'all still in here crying, trying find short cuts


But bu bu bu @Son Goku how do I cheat my way to results, fatherless :hhh: , y'all better start stretching drinking water getting high quality #POWDA and get these reps. But bu bu @Ol Man Skrenf I found a program where I only have to do 10% of the reps can I be in #REPCITY

Hell no

My body hurts and I need a year to catch up, can't pull myself from the table, almost got my 1RM on the Smiff machine at planet fitness on pizza Monday, can I be down


@Son Goku #POWDA1 what's going around here? I go to the chamber and come back to this nonsense?

Nothing new is going on here. :beli: Folks will ask a question, get an answer they don't like, and then tell you why they didn't like the answer as if *you* asked them for advice and not the other way around. :skip:
