    Omg this was soooooo useful. My lower back was hurting me when I tried but it’s because I wasn’t letting my hip fall back to take the weight and the bar was too forward...and my head was up lol. Gosh thankyou

    I appreciate that you keep the videos short (i.e. get to the point). Thank you! Also, thank you for the clear instruction, too. I've had discomfort in the lower back/upper glute so sometimes moves like this are uncomfortable/painful. I figured I had to be doing something wrong. I don't have a barbell so I do use dumbbells. Would DBs be different than barbell or would the form be the same?

    • @CoachPJNestler
      @CoachPJNestler  Před 7 lety +10

      Thanks for your comment! As a general rule I start with the feet hip width apart, but this can change depending on the specific goal. For instance, I use a narrow stance for my hockey athletes to hit different parts of the hamstring muscles in specific ways, to correct imbalances that come from so many hours of skating.
      But generally speaking for most people, hip width is a good starting point
