Best low bar video on youtube. My squats, especially low bar, have been feeling abysmal for most of this year. I had a 3rd attempt roll up on me in a March meet, then I took some time off low bar entirely when I trained for a strongman comp. The bar has been rolling up on me bad every set, and I got into this negative feedback loop of gripping the bar harder with my hands and back. Watching this and some old training videos confirmed I've been squeezing the bar too hard and not actually prioritizing the brace and keeping the bar down low
Easily the best how to squat video ive ever seen. Touched on all my mistakes and doubts I had. Already the weight that moved RPE 8 is RPE 6 I shit you not. Never stop making these guides.
Just wow! One of the greatest squat guides there is, what an insane amount of work that must have been! Would be amazing to see this for Sumo Deadlifts!
I usually don't comment on videos, but I am very grateful for your content! Some of th3 ways you explain stuff makes so much more sense and clicks with me. Some of the best content I've come across. Thanks a ton, love the videos!
so excited to watch it. Definitely lots of solid information will be there. Thank you so much. You do a lot, a lot for increasing knowledge of newer lifters
Always thought my squat form was pretty good and its awesome to see that most of the cues and tips that you mention i've always done intuitively. Mainly being aggressive with your upper body/driving with the shoulders and wedging yourself into setup
On the walk out with the feet too wide... that's how I almost snapped my stuff up trying to do a Static Hold with 515 lbs. It's the first time since 2018 that I got scared when doing Squats.
The posterior tilt feeling during the squat really helped my brace in the squat, but it's really fucking with me with the deadlift. In the deadlift I want the same brace but also want a bit of extension too, is that wrong?
@@BrazosValleyStrength but don’t you think it matter to have a definite answer. For instance does a closer stance activate the quads more versus a wider stance and what about toes ?
@@hakarl_ I agree with you yet I tried to bring the rib cage down while deadlifting and i felt my pull became more powerful and stable. PS I pull conventional
@@BrazosValleyStrength dunno, just an impression I guess... I'm not very experienced lifer as yourself, but when I try to squat with such a wide stance I feel pain an my aductors. For example, I more preffer Thrall's advice with stance a bit wider than shoulders. But as I said, great video, I learned much about bar position.
Well as I’m sure you saw, or didn’t see, in this video, I don’t recommend specifically that people use the stance I do. I tell people to use the stance that is strongest and most comfortable. This is that for me. Outside of that, there really shouldn’t be any rules.
@@BrazosValleyStrength i agree. Actually, I believe that I was stronger with wider stance than now, but in the last year or two I feel pain when standing wider than shoulder width
I think i might add at least 10kg to my squat pr with the low bar squat. Compared to my deadlift(200kg+) and leg press (500kg) the squat remains moderately low150kg. Also bc i never went ass to grass, which is a requirement for SBD powerlifting. I used to squat on a bench to 90degree angle and went up to 200kg.
The complete guide here- don’t squat low bar. The only squat is ass to grass high bar- Olympic weightlifting style. Low bar is a cheat invented by powerlifters to put more weight on the bar. Like they do with the sumo and with their arching in the bench
this video is one of the best lifting tutorials ive ever seen
This is one of the best and most comprehensive squat videos on the internet! Great stuff
I've been struggling with maintaining a solid brace throughout my lifts and this helped me a lot, thanks!
It's a sin that this channel isn't more popular

This was excellent , one of the best low bar squat guides out there
Incredibly comprehensive and well done.
The best video i've ever seen about squatting, thank you so much!
As always amazing!
Seeing your vlog notification just made my day 💙
Fantastic video. I like the cue about pressing into the bar during the set-up. I will definitely be trying some of these tips.

Great video once again!! Bench and deadlift (sumo+conventional) coming ????
Underrated?
Fantastic video. What about depth? Do you think lifters should intentionally limit their depth to the minimum required?
Hi would appreciate high bar guide, or is that not your thing,Thanks.
Low bar is a skill
Have most of the things down except for Doing the hard rep. Everytime I feel getting stuck in midpoint of the squat I stop pushing.
Brazzers Valley Strength 😯😯😯
Did I miss it? Do you talk about the thumbless grip at all? Why do you use it?
When I do this bracing I genuinely feel like I’m gonna pass out when I’m done with the set hahaha, do you know why that is?
The posterior tilt feeling during the squat really helped my brace in the squat, but it's really fucking with me with the deadlift. In the deadlift I want the same brace but also want a bit of extension too, is that wrong?
I was at football practice lifting 315 and i wasn’t leaning forward enough and it fell of my back lol
Hi David, have you or any of your clients expreienced bicep tendonitis/elbow pain from this non shoulder retracted low bar setup?
I think it’s much more common in the retracted set up. Because from there, things always collapse and pull more forward.
AYYYEE yesssirrr. came from reddit.
You didn’t talk about foot stance and toes Straight or what degree toes pointed out ?
I did. In the part of the video titled “stance.”
@@BrazosValleyStrength but don’t you think it matter to have a definite answer. For instance does a closer stance activate the quads more versus a wider stance and what about toes ?
@robbyx6846 I have other videos on the subject and it sounds like you are doing exactly what I said not to do in the video.
30:14
I’m wondering if this bracing method is applicable to deadlifting
It tends to be a bit different. Anterior pelvic bias is coached more often for deadlift bracing.
@@hakarl_ I agree with you yet I tried to bring the rib cage down while deadlifting and i felt my pull became more powerful and stable. PS I pull conventional
yes
Still weird to not hear "Brazos Valley Barbell"
Great video!
Btw, isn't your stance a bit too wide?
Why would you think that?

I don't know why but if we invited cavemen into a gym and gave them food after every workout they would never leave it (literally me)
Why normally suggest for false grip for wrist comfort but I found the IPF guys don’t 😅

Silly wristss

In what way?
You talk to much
