    Mike Boyle is so legit that my college's exercise science injury prevention professor recommended him as recommended reading alongside Gray Cook and Stuart McGill. He's also super nice. I emailed him with a question on Christmas day and he answered me a few hours later. Hard working man!

    Great video. I love doing goblet squats. I wish there were video's like this around when I was struggling to back squat years ago. I probably wouldn't have injured my lower back at the bottom of the exercise when I reached technical failure. I never used huge weight but did squat 20 reps per set. Goblet squats are much safer especially for taller athletes. Thanks.

  • @chadwiley6917
    @chadwiley6917 Před 9 lety

    I enjoyed the instruction for that. My toes naturally come off the ground when I squat & putting dumbs under the heels fixes that problem. Mr. Boyle went into all 3 position to get the perfect squat. I was noticing that I was leaning forward & was thinking of ways to correct that problem and I think I found it. Thanks!

  • @KCMOranger
    @KCMOranger Před 11 lety

    That is a good place to start. I prefer them being shoulder width. If you place your feet either too far apart or too close together you will end up restricting the movement pattern and not seeing the full benefit of the exercise, while possibly incurring injury.

    Try slightly rotating your toes outwards and allowing your knees to track out over them. This will help engage the quads more.

  • @johnford5568
    @johnford5568 Před 3 lety

    Its not the end of the world if you're hinging at the hip, just keep core tight(shoulders down and back and lots of air inside) and the weight light, and congrat youself that you are even doing this move to full depth like you did as a kid so naturally.

    Hi Mike, not sure if you see the comments section but if at all you do just a quick question for you, i had been doing what you recommend on this video and i i'm very happy with the result, in fact thrilled to see such a form, but the moment i switch to a Barbell squat i once again start leaning forward. what can i do to prevent that ?

    • @alexsandrejkurravenko8487
      @alexsandrejkurravenko8487 Před 10 lety

      try a front squat or zercher squat

    • @therealyanhuang
      @therealyanhuang Před 9 lety

      yea you can try doing front squat or zercher, but I don think it will really "solve" the inherent issue of why you cant effectively do a good backsquat.
      I would actually go back on working your anterior core, to hold the trunk up right, and also work on releasing the tighter erector spinal/back muscles that cant seem to extend your spine upright.
      but then again, i believe it has got to do with your hip mobility issues.
      work on posterior pelvic tilt, and keep releasing your hip flexors group, mainly your psoas.
      use resistance bands also,place over your ASIS, so bands is behind you ( aka you have a line of action of force pulling posterior of hips, but the idea is to try to keep your trunk stable as you are doing your backsquat )
      last but not least, work on the breathing. Breathing is often overlooked.

  • @JohnnyCatFitz

    hi. question about the ankle support. Im really bad at squats and need overall strength and core conditioning. As I get stronger will/ should I expect to not use the ankle support?

  • @1roncho
    @1roncho Před 11 lety

    Thanks a lot for the tip.
    Could I also ask, does having my legs further apart or closer to engage different muscles? How far apart should they be? Someone said to me a bit wider than shoulder width.

    @1roncho Před 11 lety

    A lot of my friends say they feel the soreness in their quads after squatting. I feel soreness on my the opposite side of my quads (glutes?) And a little in my inner thigh area. I try to keep my back straight and use my heels but am I not feeling the soreness in my quads because im doing it wrong?

  • @PushLifeOfficial
    @PushLifeOfficial Před 11 lety

    I have ALWAYS wondered, doesn't blocking the heels only treat the issue NOT fix it?

  • @curtiswoidyla1353
    @curtiswoidyla1353 Před 8 lety

    Thanks very much. I am doing better but am still doing difficult. I believe it is because I weigh a lil more than I should. I am 6 foot 1 and am looking for some tips. I weigh 220 lbs an can calf raise with a plate and a 10 . by any mean I anyone has tips on how I can improve my form that would be much appreciated

    • @CounterCultureHealthcch1821
      @CounterCultureHealthcch1821 Před 8 lety

      You save you can do calve raises with a decent amount of weight but are still having some trouble with getting your squatting form down. I would look to see if you have shortened calve muscles from all the reps of calve raises. As Mike describes in the video, some times poor squatting form comes in the way of ankle immobility, which is caused mostly by shortened calves and hamstrings. For you I would try the blocking technique. See if that doesnt fix the issue

      It applies all the same to a barbell. This video was more for, "hey if you have any of these poor squatting symptoms, do this to fix it..." Once those are corrected for, barbell squatting is all the same. Hope that helps!

  • @kevinthomes1046
    @kevinthomes1046 Před 5 lety

    If you are a low bar squatter, you can't squat how he does. Only hi bar squatters can. He is only teaching half of the picture. Whether you low bar or hi bar, you keep the bar over the center of your foot. Weightlifting you need the vertical back. Most power lifters squat low bar.

    • @Salihnoah
      @Salihnoah Před 8 lety

      Practice squatting with something behind you like a bench or platform. If thats too low you can add something for height. Most clubs have those blue pads, or even a bosu. Also there's nothing wrong with just putting a stability ball against the wall and doing wall squats. Or you might find it easier to just simply widen your feet and turn them out a bit. There's nothing wrong with that as long as your knees and ankles aren't completely collapsing or pronating inwards. And keep in mind the squat isn't the best lower body exercise, there's no such thing. It might be a good idea for you to work on your glutes quads and hamstrings as components before trying squats. Also it's always a good idea to make sure your ankles are balanced. You could have a lack of range of motion in your ankles due to weak anterior tibialis leading to lack of dorsiflexion which completely messes up a squat. You can find plenty of good dorsiflexion videos on CZcams

    why would you elevate a young kid's heels and teach their body incorrect mechanics instead of actually finding out where they're tight in the hip ?
    simply being able to get your ass to the ground isn't enough if the mechanics of it are wrong.
