If you'd watch the videos. You'd have seen that he addresses that. Everyone is built differently. Both in the squat and the deadlift

Active warm ups. Means, do light weights with the exercise that you are about to perform , up to 60% of your work set weights

How much is the weight of the bar? 45lbs?  smile.gif

Depends on your bar, Standard Olympic bars are 45lbs but different gyms provide different bars.

I cant even get pass 2x BW without using [1]mixed grip. Even with mixed grip also I have to 'land the weight' then re-grip to lift, which is [2]wasting my momentum. No matter how strong i grip it also fail, next Im looking at straps. [3]Plateau for weeks also because of this issue
*
[1]Please make sure the hand that is under in the over-under grip is locked out at all times when you move the bar. Don't curl the bar which many tend to do once the weight gets heavy.
[2]Why are you concerned with momentum? Momentum should be completely omitted from your training for now. Heck unless you're going for >20 reps, I'd say leave momentum alone. Momentum is what screws you in the long run. I'm surprised no one has given you stick yet, but then again, the regs that I know aren't that active anymore (myself included). Besides, it's called a DEAD-lift. Let the weight go dead, re-set and go again. I'd rather reset the bar and my position 10 times for 10 reps than hammer out 10 reps with momentum.
[3]What are your rep ranges and frequency on deadlifts? Are you using deadlift as a hypertrophy exercise or are you deadlifting because it's big numbers you chase? Periodize your training. For example, have days where you power out 3-5 reps, have days where you do 6-8 reps. Varying your weights of course. You'd be surprise how sets of 8 with 225 translates over to your ability to grip the bar banging out sets of 3-5 with 315.

Hey sifu's!

Just want to ask your opinion on this.

Recently i joined a new gym with ana ctual squat rack. Previously i was at CF doing squats with the power rack.

The problem is now i have noticed my form is just plain right shit. I bend in front too much when i squat down. I read that this may be really bad in the long run as i could injure my back.

What advice do you give in order for me to actually squat properly.

even with free weights, my body automatically tends to lean forward when squatting.

Thank you!

1) Do you squat high bar or low bar?
2) Youtube - Bryce Lewis Lower Body Mobility
3) Record a video and post it here so we can see clearer
4) Are you engaging your core as much as possible? If you're not familiar on how to do so, place your arm between your lower and mid back, take a big deep breath into your stomach and slower exhale and tense your abs as hard as possible, you should feel your back muscle pushing onto your hand.
5) A slight forward lean is okay if you squat lower bar and have a much longer lower body. Unless you're doing a good morning with the bar and you're experiencing butt wink, a slight forward lean is acceptable.
6) If you DO have a butt wink, it's important to have the mobility to open up your hips, push out your knees and engage your glutes. I'll go into details only if you do have it.

Hey thanks for the suggestion on the mobility workouts!
Ill try to get a vid, just moved to a new country and have no gym mates at the moment, so migh be a little hard!

A quick question on the mobility stretches, i noticed no where in the video or other videos/sites did they mention the frequency of the stretches. Should i do it before my squats, or is it alright if i did it daily to loosen up my body. I know my legs are pretty stiff, and i have a groin injury that might also be contributing to this problem. Hopefully i can get rid of this ! thumbup.gif

Start out doing as often as possible.
If you have a soft tissue injury, foam roll/deep tissue massage before you stretch. Scar tissues are not the same of soft tissue.

hi guys. I've recently hit my squat PR at 180kg. I noticed I'm strongest when i do a low bar squat. However, that has given a toll on my left elbow. Exactly at the joint. When I do low bar, my arms will extend way back and it is painful. Any mobility exercises to help with the extension?

Here's a good video about it.
