On Instagram I post a ton of informative content on my story & IGTV. Follow if you want more knowledge!
Hands down best powerlifting channel on youtube !! So much to take away and you got jokes too 🤷🏾♂️
hnbnnnnnn ❤️💪🏼 Hahahaha tbh half the stuff I stay off camera is hilarious but also very not PC 😂 I know half my audience would love it and the other half hate it but I usually opt for keeping it mostly informative. Thanks for the love big time fam! Glad you appreciate the channel! More coming
I am not going to do powerlifting I want to do strongman but he is still helping me out with the squats and deadlifts
i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Dane Kylan Instablaster ;)
@Apollo Corbin Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I quit caffeine 6months ago because I'm caffeine sensitive (turned caffeine addict) and it was ruining my sleep regardless of what time I took it. The lack of quality deep sleep started giving me fatigue and terrible recovery, and I became more prone to injury. Quitting caffeine is one of the best things I've ever done.
Other than that, another excellent squat video!

Awesome video. Squats feel much easier when you take your time to setup up and are agressive to that bar. If for a second after unracking the bar I think "this is so heavy" it's game over. Confidence is key and getting tight as well!
Guilherme Oliveira dude yeah totally! That’s why I’ll never jump to my next acclimation set until my last one felt strong and fast! I get the rack position, walk out and rep perfect and then go on. Helps sooo much.
Thanks for making these videos Brendan. I’ve been watching many videos of yours and my squats have been feeling significantly smoother than a month ago!
First! Great video Brendan! Best fitness channel on CZcams at the moment;)
Ishwar Hegde thank you!! Only more coming! I haven’t even covered 10% of this 150 item note list I have written down of videos lol. It’s finally time I take youtube serious and show the world what’s really up with fitness channels. CZcams fitness has fallen off hard and I wanna change that.
Excellent cues. Taking the slack out the bar is definitely underrated and you don’t hear of it often in relation to squat. Something that I’ve found, alongside pretty much all of those cues you mentioned, is a really strong quad and glute contraction once you’ve walked out and let the weight settle makes everything extremely rigid and stable and mentally the weight of the bar disappears and at that point I brace and unlock my knees and hips. What’s your thoughts on this?
Thomas Clark dude YES! I actually filmed that but fuck I talked wayyyy too long so I edited it out. But I indeed do that. I squeeze both quads and glutes to the point I get vertical as hell and my knees look almost hyper extended. Definitely helps. I think it’s from the irradiation and the core. It’s why I mentioned the full grip. Again it was too long to add but I purposely squeeze the hell out of the bar with the deep grip and it just feels soooo strong. Great insight bro! You’re on the right track
OMG I completely agree. The key to a good set is an even better set-up.
AW man BRENDAN! And I just finished my workout session which involved squatting!
Leo hahahaha I got you for the next 1000 squat sessions you do though!
You deserve nothing less than 1 million subscribers. Quality content.
Only found your channel today and have watched a few videos. It's what I want to start getting into and these are definitely gonna help 👌
There are a few good channels on CZcams regarding powerlifting lifts, this one is the most informative without a doubt, everything is covered.
Dawson Windham has a rlly good video on his IG about “wrapping the bar” around the back. Basically wrap around and down on an angle is the thought. Pulls the elbows and lats to where they need to be. Also takes about packing the chin and pressing back the neck to trap the bar as if you war trying to push it off your back with that tension but you got yourself doing the wrapping cue so the bar gets into place.
Dude, you're on fire atm. This content is so fucking good.
Mark Watts I’m gunna keep goingggg! So much shit coming these next weeks. Kristin and I leave today for socal to meet up with Marcellus! A month of ridiculous content coming!
You and Brian Ahlsrue give out the most gems on lifting. Salute!!
Brendan got mad tips. Just subbed and can't wait to binge.
This is really gooood info! ! Was thinking ab this "issue " for the last few days!perfect timing! !
What's the deal with constant rewrapping of wrists? Just habbit? Curious
bro this is amazing!!!! I will definitely try this today.
Another great video! Not surprised at all.. the content you produce is by far the best out there when it comes to powerlifting! Thank you
Eli King Yo dude you’ve been a hardcore follower for a while now man! Really appreciate it! I remember all the names especially when you guys got me on IG and here. Thank you bro!!
Brendan Tietz I’ve learned so much from you and am very grateful for your teaching! When I’m ready to hit the next level, you’ll be my coach! Chasing the 500 Squat, 600 deadlift and 365 Bench @185lb bodyweight. I’m getting close!
Great 💯
Hey Brendan i can never seem to get the bar even on my back, maybe because my traps are uneven idk great vid btw
When I squat, my hips are high on the left and low on the right.Why? How to correct this posture
Have you done the same kind of video for bench and deadlift?
Another great video!! I have learn a lot from this awesome channel. My form game is strong because of all your tips. thanks a lot for all you do for us to help ourselves and others!!
false reporting thank you and I’m stoked to hear man the feedback helps a ton! Even if others are saying it. I got so much more coming these next weeks and even years. So many big plans
I learned something from this vid, thank you very much Brendan Tietz
You should collab with Calgary barbell
love your channel, now also love your entrance music ;) greets from germany!
Dung Huy Nguyen much love brooooo ❤️💪🏼
What is your opinion on descent speed? Most people say you want to descend as quickly as possible while maintaining control to maximize your stretch reflex. Recently Stefi Cohen said she prefers a slower descent to ensure she keeps her hips in position and that recent studies have shown that doing this can actually increase peak force exerted. Would you say that these are technically the same thing (since even if you're trying to move quickly you should maintain your positioning)?
im gonna try this. The weight feels light af when im squatting but when i stand up it feels like its about to crush me
That's a nice song in the beginning
Thank you brother 👌🏼
Hey Brendan this isn't related at all to the video I just wanted to know can I still follow your free DUP program but skip the technique based day and still get similar results? This is because right now I have two jobs and college so am finding it hard to fit my workouts into a tight schedule so a 4 day training set up might be more feasible. As the technique day is really just an accessory day I thought it wouldn't do any harm to skip it and it obviously isn't as important as the strength and volume days. Or should I look elsewhere?
Nice done man! Thank you!
M&M Fitness you’re welcome fam!
Lol, I feel like you can always tell who the powerlifters are at the gym by how they unrack for a squat. I have to do thumbless grip when I squat to control for wrist pain. Would thumbless grip negatively impact the set up? Thanks!
Jennifer Applebaum not much however it will affect true shoulder external rotation however that’s probably why it hurts! I bet if you improve your scap control/mobility and external rotation the wrists won’t hurt. Of course though you’ll have to wrap the wrists. A full grip is similar to that on pull ups. Trainees often prefer the pull up with a false grip because it lets them cheat the rotation demand and when you’re tight it feels better. But that’s akin to relying on structural stability which me and Jordan (the muscle doc) talked about in my recent injury video. A false grip won’t be a huge deal but it’s something over time I’d recommend to try and switch. However if you can’t stay false, some people just get pain no matter what. But it’s worth a try to see if you can improve! Also 100% agree lol usually the more veteran of a PLer the longer they’ll take too 😂
Thanks Brendan! I'll try switching back.
Fantastic vid, thanks much
NoodleWeird you’re welcome! Glad you liked it!
Sik video. Other day fucked my elbows up as the bar was all over my back during my 315 5x5. Hope this helps.
Just squatted using ur tips and OMFG my squats never went up so easy 😶😳 I'm in shock! My legs are dead now...doing the penguin walk 😂
You look great! How much you squat now?
At 6:45, ‘someone switched the music.’ Why not simply wear earphones with the music you want?
Liked after that intro :D Funny stuff
I'm high bar squatting because my wrist is injured and I can't low bar. But my form still breaks down into low bar form on heavy sets. Can you make a video on high bar squattimg cues to fix this?
steezy there’s a lot to unpack here. “Low bar form” can be very broad but if you mean you get bent over it’s probably because you’re not getting extended and tall enough while simultaneously bracing your abs. It could also be a lack of using the quads and opening up the hips to sit down rather than sit back. Also it’s worth mentioning there isn’t really such thing as high bar or low bar form but rather just good squat form that’s very individual.
My hips keep shifting back in the squat can you make a video about that?
Alex Munn I somewhat have a video on this but I actually JUST wrote down a couple days ago to do an IN DEPTH vid on this with Marcellus down in SoCal. I got you soon!
Brendan Tietz yea man I saw the hip shift to the left and right but not back so appreciate the work 👍🏼
What do you mean...your hips shoot up and back or shoot back and your knees lockout before your glutes?
So good bro!
Mario Javier dude what’s crazy is you squatted that 643 faster than both the others. I put them side by side at the second you hit your most bottom position in premiere and it was much faster. 700 at the meet dude! Lmfao you’ve already passed me 😢 when the grasshopper grows up
Brendan Tietz butttttt I also weigh 100000lbs more than you sooooo nahhhh 😂😂
Great video 👌🏻
Nichole Dittmer yoooo! Happy about your meet! You killed shit!
Great video but i dont like the intro. It just doesnt match with your type of videos :D you are really calm and easy to listen
A7 shirts!!!
First time I've heard about using that grip on the squat what's the reasoning ? I know for presses it helps stack the fore arms better .
lightn1ng89 the deep palm grip helps to focus true external rotation (once you actually set the shoulders) along with joint stacking and irradiation. The grip especially really helps with muscular irradiation. I should have gone in depth on this in the video but I actually squeeze the bar hard af. This make my shoulders and back just feel soooo much more rigid. And if mobility is sound the shoulders get set better with the bar stacked to cause less wrist extension issues.
lightn1ng89 great question btw!!
Thx man you are always dropping knowledge bombs I will try this out! Can't hurt getting more tightness .
When pushing the slack out on squats, sometimes the bar will rise just a hair off the pins - keep that tightness but let it settle before fully unracking. Sometimes when I’m super amped and forget to let things settle and all that tightness you just worked to produce gets lost and wasted a ton of mental and physical energy
Mike Granato he literally said that in the video... why even watch if you just want to comment what he said?
Mike Granato yo I actually mentioned slack settling in the vid as one of the points and showed the huge difference it made for Mario. He squatted 643 easier than the 617 which was sick lol
Good stuff once again man.
TheFineolase thank you bro!
just used those cues on my squat workout, made 180 kg feel like 100
jonathan kotzer fuck yeah man!! I think the comments I like the most are when you guys tell me you’re using this stuff and it helps!
@@BrendanTietz your deadlift thing you said about the upper and lower back really helped me I was contracting my upper back to much and not my lower back at all
Me: a 17 year old female that weighs aprox 60kgs
*Takes 2 scoops of faction labs pre workout ( 500mg of caffeine OOF )
honestly dont think its even possible for me to walk out without looking at my feet. i dont notice a lack of back tightness by doing so though
Chris yeah that one isn’t do or die tbh although it always feels way lighter but you won’t lose position. Try practicing it a few times on the warm ups though and you might get it!
It’s Nicholas Cage on the juice
even 400 kg feel light on my back but can't squat it nontheless :D maybe in wraps and a suit ^^
LMFAO I have the opposite problem
Good video but how about your breathing? Looks like air is going into chest
Matthew Ferro the biggest lie in powerlifting is that you shouldn’t get air in your chest, how on earth can the lungs expand if the chest doesn’t rise? Your brace the stomach out and suck air into the entire cavity of the torso
@@BrendanTietz interesting point
dude.. I need help with sumo. I'm weak off the floor.
650 mg wtf!!!!
How tf do u sleep at night when so much caffeine in you
your wrist wraps suffered from all that coc... cafeine
Why not dump the belt and just save it for those heavy 1's or 2's at +90% ?. The reason I skip belt is because I wanna let my core work harder and gain more from using a belt.
Sok my dek
Easy with the caffeine, thats allot to take in at once
