Sometimes when I’m trying to go to sleep I’ll hear “hip drahhhve” out of nowhere
draahhhve it up!
That’s your mom and stepdad in the next room
Lead with the hyips.
"Staay n yrass!!"
That's what she said
I love how confused this guy is when Mark keeps asking him questions.
Mark: What happens to your hamstrings?
Brett: Da fuq should I know???
Cristian Mioveanu hahaha
@R B ok I loled at that part because even I had the same reaction
This comment is so funny 😂
*mark rippetoe slaps your Lower back* this bad boy can squat for miles
Swiggity Swoogity hahaha
Best comment 👏
@@sloppyjonuts9162 swiggity swoogity, I am coming for the booty
This baby has so much drahve
The sexual tension is insane in this video
Whenever i do anything wrong in any part in my life, I tell people, and myself, that at least I didn't push my hips forward.
that's the worst thing in this worldddd - add Sir Mark Rippetoe voice here
Judge: Will the jury foreperson please stand? Has the jury reached an unanimous verdict?
Foreperson: Yes, your honor. *stands up and hands verdict form to the judge*
Judge: Despite the overwhelming evidence of the defendant committing mass murder, theft and rape, the court finds Mr. Manson not guilty due to the fact that his hips did not push forward. The jury is thanked and excused. Mr. Manson you are free to go. Court is adjourned.
Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahaha
The best thing in your life comes from thrusting you hips.
I am disabled. If I go more than 200 feet, I need a wheelchair. There is damage to the muscle around my knees. I just squatted and got back up without falling or losing my balance for the first time in years. It's not in the knees or legs. It's in the back. Amazing. I wish I'd known the right way to do this years ago.
How are you feeling now bro?
Very very cool!! I am rt sided stroke and I have found that Mark's instruction on deadlift has changed everything in moves that start from the floor. Now, I am digging into squatting with Mark. I am also an Cert Adaptive Training coach which has greatly benefitted me in the extra knowledge it provides in this relatively new arena of Adaptive Sports. congrats again on this great awakening.
I never thought I would see Freddie Mercury being taught how to squat by Mark Rippetoe. This video is awesome!
Sergio TL 💀💀💀 needs more likes
Daniel Plainview!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
👍🤣🤣🤣
So he back to life
the whole "Push up with your lower spine and look at the floor" technique works really well, your back stays naturally straight (not upright, just straight) and your feet automatically stay planted against the floor.
Rippetoe's a legend.
so is this channel for their content. subscribed.
Everyone’s been telling me I’m squaring wrong because I’m “leaning to far forward.” I never changed it because I have always had a very good squat and this is exactly how I do it. Good to know someone else does it the same way!
As a person who rarely squatted, it makes me much more enthusiastic to squat because it is simply more comfortable.
You aint doing anything wrong. We all have different structures as well.
Tom Platz always says you're supposed to stay relatively straight on your way down...I'm confused now.
@@rickderico356 i think its because tom platz squats for quad development, this is probably more for power lifitng
@@ronnoreplays7949 low bar squat is probably superior in terms of making the most muscles stronger, and that is probably why starting strength has old people do it for general strength, and it also makes these minimalist programs like starting strength or stronglifts 5x5 way more effective with less weak spots made in your physique after completing the program. For example, if you high bar squat like Tom Platz and dont want to do the other 20 exercises he did for legs, you will have some glaring weak spots in places like the glutes and hammies
I cant believe that nobody commented that stash, its fabulous.
well hello there mr slav
Why does it always look like the students in Rippetoes videos are about to shit themselves out of fear?
Nobody likes to hear a man like Rippetoe say "Bend over" behind you, i guess it's just a natural fight or flight response of any straight male.
Andrés Coronado Pfft, yeah right, Bum Boy.
+carnil your fuckin avi
He beats them with a belt before each coaching session.
Scott A LMAO XD
I rewatch this every month. Thanks for the free coaching!
I like how the host of the channel, throughout the Rip series, completely takes a back seat in these videos and lets Rippetoe do all the talking. That humility is some manly shit. Great series.
3:27 minutes into Squat and chill. And he gives you that look behind you.

Dunno how many of you have read 'Starting Strength', but despite covering a subject most of us feel (wrongly) we know everything about, it's hard to randomly turn to a page without finding something you didn't consider before you picked the book up.
+Reaves MO so true, I keep going back to it. THE PRESS
Every man should read the bible then get Starting Strength and start training
@@IgnatiusCheese yes indeed the bible of powerlifting
reading books about periodization now, anymore reading recommendations?
Very informative. And hilarious.
Why is it hilarious?
"DRIVE DAT ASS UP!"
"Stay in your ass!"
Matt Koval "Thats that Louie Simmons shit", LOL
Rippetoe taught me that everything my "power lifting" coach had taught me was complete bullshit. He "Fixed" my form issues in about 45 minutes. That was ten years ago and after a pretty devastating knee injury. Fast forward to today and I'm healthier because of low bar squats. I can go run and not worry about stability issues. My knees are strong because of what he taught me. Guy knows his shit.
I also saw a stupid increase in my squat max in a 6 week period going to his gym.
About that 6 weeks. How easy did the weight that you started with feel?
when you said power lifting, it all made sense
@@ImEmpTy295 I would’ve thought that powerlifters have good form huh? That’s crazy haha
The worst are those and guys that used to play football. I've had one come up to me and tell me my squat was "all back" as he put it and that I needed to let my hips come straight down and stop "bending over"
Having decades of squatting experience and having been coached by national level coaches, I finally discover I've been squatting wrong and this way (horizontal back) is far more comfortable, gives me better ROM, feels like I can move more weight and have less DOMS... Better late than never!!
Only a month in and sticking to form rather than pushing the weight too much yet.
Thanks Mark!
What the heck is horizontal back, back that is not arched?
@@lamrof No , a back which is more parallel to the floor . Usually speaking , you want to keep the back as straight and rigid as possible during a squat . The horizontal / vertical OP is talking about is the angle the torso makes with the floor
Hows it going now
That is some hardcore old school classics Brett! Loved this video. :)
This is the single best squat tutorial video on the internet. I've seen em all, you don't have to look any further. It's funny, i watched this video a few times as a beginner, but it still took me a year or two of powerlifting to fully understand everything Mark is saying and teaching here. Seeing the video with more experience it all resonates now. Thanks for the amazing free content.
can you please tell me what horizontal back means?
@@lamrof for the full instructions with diagrams and stuff go check out the Starting Strength book by Rippetoe.
But the short answer is that people think their backs should be straight up and down when squatting. What Mark is saying is that actually the optimal back angle when low bar squatting is slightly more “horizontal” meaning leaning forward and hinging at the hips more.
@@jdecicco91 - ok, meant more horizontal than vertical. That is the message. Thanks.
great video this is
How to Low Bar Squat With Mark Rippetoe buff.ly/1JxcmJ9 Starting Strength
***** Keep in mind that the angles aren't the same for everyone. We're all built a little differently so the angles will change from person to person.
For example, if you have a longer back in relation to your legs your back angle in the squat will tend to be more upright and conversely if your back is shorter in relation to your legs the back angle will tend to be more horizontal.
Regarding the hips moving forward... In this video the difference is very subtle and is hard to see but the difference in the two lifts (correct and incorrect) is maintaining the correct back angle. At the bottom of the squat, in order to correctly drive your hips up, you need to maintain the back angle as long as possible on the way up. On the movements where Rip was making corrections the back angle was immediately becoming more vertical as soon as the lifter was coming out of the hole.
***** Watch Brett's form. He 'says' vertical because most people think you need to keep your back perpendicular to the floor to avoid back pain. Brett is at a 45 degree angle when he says he's good. And the same with the hips, your hips will naturally come forward but on that squat he corrected, you can see the hips come forward too early, putting too much strain on his back. It's hard ot pick up but keep an eye on his lower body and you'll catch it
***** No, your back will be a bit more vertical due to the more forward bar placement and your eye gaze should appriopriately be a bit more forward. You can't really cue the hip drive which moves the bar in the low squat form shown in the video with high bar squats.
Darren Jackson Fuck You
Patrick Pandolfini Fuck You
"NO now the hips go forward again, that's that Louie Simmons shit" haha shots fired
Haha. Silver backs...
5:11 lol
When I played HS football, they always taught us the exact opposite. "Pick a spot on the ceiling and stare at it the entire rep". No wonder I could never squat more.
HIP DRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Hwat about maw hyips?
@@nickenspoliticalramblings4836 That's a joke, but what's even funnier is that that's the right way to say what.
This is probably the best hip drive coaching session I have seen yet with Mark, I learned a lot. awesome session.
I would be honored to have at least one session of training with Mark Rippertoe. His personality is ideal for those wanting to put in the hard work in weightlifting
best squating video of 2015 so far
10/10
Thanks dude
@@artofmanliness It still is and will never change
The person who held the camera did a horrendous job
Seriously, all of Rips instructional videos are gold. I’ve been working on all of my lifts and no longer experience the occasional injury which I realise was caused by bad form developed over many years. Thank you Rip 🙏
Mark is the trainer that everyone should have, he's amazing, guy knows his stuff and clearly loves teaching. He;s the type of guy that gyms need, a man with patients and the passion for teaching the correct form for your regulars to new gym members *people who want to get into shape*
Great Video Sir!
Can't get any more Manly then learning how to do something right.
Yes, it seems awkward and uncomfortable but you get it done... That's life for you lol
Wild WiseMan i
Are you saying women do everything wrong! OMG how dare you I'm so triggered right now!!!
than*
Rippetoe! If it weren't for his book, I would have never started lifting! It's amazing you got him on your channel!
A year into Crossfit at age 60, and lackluster performance in my squats due to osteoarthritis in right knee, I opted for surgery. Exactly 8 weeks after partial knee replacement I PR my back squat following Rippetoe's video advice - no pain and no struggles. Great job explaining the fundamentals of this lift. I feel there are many more PRs to come. Thank you.
Excellent video! I've been having trouble getting my low-bar technique down for quite some time and this video has so many great cues that have helped me big time. Out of all the low bar Squat vids I've watched (and I've watched tons), this one is by the far the best and easiest for me to apply to my own body mechanics. Thanks!
Subscribed. Excited for this series.
This was the most helpful coaching for doing a squat I have EVER SEEN! Thank you, I am so grateful!
Thank you for this video series. I've read the book several times, but it really doesn't do Mark a justice. Being able to see him critique form has helped a lot.
Wow, I watched many squat videos but the tips from this one is outstanding! Great job Mark!
Slapping montage:
00:37 - ''Thats the squat''
00:43 - ''Bend over''

04:34 - ''Make sure... The dept is critical! ''
04:50 - ''Stay here.. Drahve em up!''
05:36 - ''THAT..''
05:40 - ''That thing right deerrr shove it up outta-the-hole!''
10:20 - ''THAT..MOVES...THE...BAR!''
Hey Brett, I love these videos with Rippetoe. Thanks for putting these together.
Excellent advice, I switched over to the low bar squat and followed the technique outlined. My squat weight has been going up consistently across workouts.
Thank you for this. I've just started squat-lifting and I'm sure this will help.
That last set was epic. Nothing like having a coach or training partner yelling at you to drahve
This video series changed my life and got me into fitness thank you for creating this
I am in love with this series.
This has helped me so much. I used to look upward with an arched back, now I look down. I'm feeling this movement more in my glutes and the back of my legs than in my quads. Very helpful
Same here. I literally just tried to bring the weight up with my ass and I feel there too
I always get in the mood to lift when i hear the plates clanking together.
We have the rubber coated plates at my gym.. Miss hearing the metal ones from the old gym..Especially on bench day...
@@cyborgar15 yea I hated that too. I recently bought my own power rack and plates, cast iron plates. Slapped a mini fridge in there as well.
@@cyborgar15 Opposite problem with bare steel plates. Those things just constantly vibrate, even with the slightest touch.
This brilliant advice. I've been doing my squats like this for a couple months now and it's so much better. I had a so called "personal trainer" come up to me in the gym and say that I should be looking forward, so many people don't have a clue what they're talking about.
Best description ever !!!! Tnx. Need to rewatch
Been squating for +25 years, refining my technique little by little , all those years thinking someday i have to fix my squat and straighten up . This technique that allowed me to squat 500lbs for 5 reps on multiple occasions when i was younger. It is good to see that my body and my senses were right.
"That's that Louie Simmons shit." Lmao
Eshwar Nandam what did he mean by that?
Emil652 Louie Simmons is the founder of Westside barbell.
Emil652 Short version: he thinks Louie is wrong. However, much of what Rippetoe says doesn't make any biomechanical sense. "Your ass is what gets you up, but don't push hips forward." ...Umm, hello, hip extension shiftss your hips forward (or your torso upright, if there is no knee flexion). Knee extension moves your hips up, yet he hates on the quads as prime movers.
This video reminds me of the quote about asking the race horse how he runs fast (don't do it). Mark is a strong guy, and he helps beginners get "started," but his language and instruction is totally imprecise and unscientific. Don't play this video over the grave of Mel Siff. Lastly, not that anyone has much reason to care about my recommendation, but Louie Simmons is a definitely a superior source for technique and guidance.
jlushefski GTFO
+jlushefski I actually think you're misunderstanding this. Rippetoe's explanation isn't biomechanically incorrect at all. The hip drive cue actually keeps the hamstrings and glutes active to perform hip extension are the correct moment. Th Louie Simmons shit he is talking about is Louie's technique that honestly is designed mostly for equipped lifting, not raw lifting.
I will say that while I think Rippetoe's methods are great for teaching novices. Many of his teachings are very misunderstood. His hip drive cue is turned into shoot your hips up and goodmorning the weight which is just entirely wrong. I also disagree with Louie being a better source of information. He definitely has some very good information, and the conjugate system is quite interesting. That being said his methods are really best for equipped lifters. For non-novice lifters I'd actually advise people to look into Mike Tuchscherer, Mike Zourdos, Ben Esgro, etc.
Great series of videos with Mark, thanks a lot!
Dang I’ve been coaching this since I was in high school. I love hearing a genius like Mark making a big deal about too, reminds me I’m not crazy!
Omg this. I think this has just saved me. Thought I wouldn’t be able to continue strength training with a barbell as was paranoid was going to go backward and had back spasms. That lean forward and no hips forward makes total sense now. What a guy. Love him even more now.
I love these videos with Mark! Hope to see more videos with doing the bench press, shoulder/military press, full snatch, and or a full clean/clean and jerk. : )
Great series of videos with Mark!
thanks for making these. I've lost count how many people I've showed them to in the gym & elsewhere when talking about how to properly perform these lifts.
'That's that Louie Simmons *%^#'. Best part of the whole thing!
What does he mean
And he will NEVER be close to Louie ax a lifter , not close , or as a coach even a bigger margin .Everything he show there is wrong injuries waiting to happen .Awful !
Billy Mimnaugh why?
I thought the book starting strength
Look at their numbers ! He couldn’t tie Louie’s shoes ! And EVERYTHING he teaches about squatting is totally wrong .
It's great to have such a great focused video of Rippetoe coaching you in good quality for free. Really appreciate you guys spreading the knowledge of basic strength training in such a manly fashion.
Every time i feel my squat slacking i revert back to this video....thank you for everything
Strong video. Hitting up squats tomorrow so going to toy with my form using what I learned from this video. Thank you!
rip is a go-to source for all form questions i have never had a injury following his instruction,
i like low bar as a taller, thin lifter it suits my build, i think
Low bar suits anyone, but some will squat high bar instead because it suits their goals better
I'm living in south korea and read SS and very very impressed so i want to meet repito but i can't. just read SS again and again. sad
ElSpookay thank you i didn't know that they are uploading video. i'm subscribing them. thank you
repito lol
repito
@Mick Langley legend
Mark is amazing! I never knew how wrong I was doing things until I bought his book and read the whole thing form cover to cover. The man definitely knows what he's saying.
This actually fixed my squat. Thank you so much.
“Put your eyeballs on the floor!”
*literally pulls them out and puts them on the floor.
Surprised Mark didn't mention anything about the wrists - being bent creating leverage on them - which we don't want. He specifically mentions this in his "Starting Strength" book, which is an awesome book btw :)
What an enviable experience to receive 1-on-1 coaching from the man himself.
Rippetoe's book should be required reading in schools.
Thank you so much!
I've been reading "Starting strength" and it is"very" informative. :) This video made it much easier for me understand. Thank you Brett, Camera guy and Ofcourse Mark. :)
Please tell me there is more in this series. I would love to see a video like this with him coaching the power clean, or even the deadlift. Only wish is that a tripod was used and we could see your entire body in some of the lifts rather than following your torso up and down.
Deadlift is coming this week.
Art of Manliness
... The Clean? :D
Art of Manliness Anymore of these videos coming? Great stuff! love these
+Archerzz So you can hear him wrongly tell you to pull the bar in a straight line. Hahahahaha.
+lylemcd please elaborate on that.
"That's that Louie Simmons shit"
Louie pls respawn
This is probably the best how to squat video I’ve seen. Thank you.
The very best! Thanks for posting!
what a relief because I squat with my back at an angle because it feels more natural and stronger
HEEEIP DRAAAIIVE!
DRAAAIIVE your ass UP Brett!
point yer NIPPLES at the floer
Haaaayup Draaaihv. Ghood. Nice little rebound outta the howle.
Even though I think my form is good, been watching a lot of videos recently, and this one really goes into great detail and in a way that I can understand and self visualize. Nice work.
I wish I've know Rippetoe long before now. Nobody else explained the correct in-depth of how to lift correctly and the why's. They should play this videos in every gym! THANK YOU!
The best Squat technique explanation I've EVER seen. PERIOD.
HIP DRAHVE
HEYUHP DRAHVE
lmfao
wow, this is really simple and instructive. I took a little time off of training and this gets me right back into it
Art of Manliness dude- I think your videos are entertaining and your content is valuable!! It makes me happy you did videos with the great Mark Rippetoe! I've read his book "Starting Strength" and reference it often. This is essential "manliness"...
Mr. Rippetoe is the Bob Ross of his work - 2019
When I saw the video length ..I thought damn! its a bit long...10:51 minutes later I never thought of anything else. GREAT VID! Mark is a badd dude.
Mark. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Brett for the video!
"thats that louie simmons shit" lmaooo i love mark rippetoe.
Don’t be cheeky now. Louie’s as good as it gets
I'm surprised Rippetoe didn't say anything about your wrists are bent. In the Starting Strength video "The Squat - Bar Position" he spends 18 mins talking about how the back supports the bar and not your hands/wrists/arms.
Shaine MacDonald I noticed he didn't mention it, too.
+Chris Long
Yea there's even one point in this video where he says something about how his arms are supporting the weight. But that's not what Rip says in that bar position video. 9:44
He can't fix every little problem in a 10-minute video. Yes, Brett's wrists should've been straight, but is that more important than teaching hip drive? Also, he doesn't EVER say the arms support the bar--he points out that raising the elbows helps support the bar, and it does that because raising the elbows a little tightens the upper back to create the shelf for the bar. Why not do a little more research and read the book?
diesel828
Because he's confusing me! In one video he said to lower your elbows out of the hole or tuck them down. then here he says something else.
Why don't you read the book?
This makes so much more sense while reading his book. I only wish I had a friend like Mark to motivate me at the gym 😹.
Love this video great content please keep it up! Long live the Art of Manliness
"that's that Loui Simmons shit" haha. don't push the hips foreword. great video!
I want Rippetoe to slap my butt while teaching me how to squat.
Been rewatching all of these and getting real inspired to get back into barbell life!
That intro song reminds me of Capo by As Cities Burn.
Great Video!! Mark answered a lot of questions I had about my squat that I am now able to correct.
For those wondering, Rip says "driving your hips forward is the worst thing you can do" because you're not utilizing hip drive to get you out of the hole when you do that. Your hips go UP, not forwards. Up! Imagine as if you have a chain attached to the top of your butt, and someone pulls it up from a ladder - your hips go up! Hip draaahve gives your the most strength. Moving the hips forward instead of up makes you way weaker.
+Rafaello Fareday There's a reason no record holder or international powerlifter uses his shit technique.
You understand literally nothing. Rip's technique is so far off the ball game it's not even funny. It's like taking a minivan to an F1 race. no matter what you do to that minivan, you'll never win.
90 degree upright position = strongest position. Anything further away from that is getting weaker. The more under the bar your hips are = the stronger your squat will be.
anyone worth their weight in salt does.
Achieving a vertical torso requires a high level of mobility as well as short femur lengths. For some it's impossible, but purposely slouching forward is squat strength suicide.
I'm happy you made it through this without getting spanked
I always come back to this vid when squat platues. Then i hit a series of new PRs. Thank you ‼️
Great teaching of the hip drive!
Dude reminds me of Patches O'Houlahan from Dodgeball LOL
This is where years of experience blows the 'book experts' out of the water
Excellent man, No nonsense. only from pure experience! Love that
Thanks for the video Brett. I used your video as a reference for my workout today.
