Very informative video. I was unaware that my elbows should not wing out so far.

thanks for posting this video! I myself am a devoted strength athlete and the Barbell Squat is the key lift I do in training. I Squat as often as I do cardio vascular training. which is every workout! it’s the king of all strength building excersizes! but only when done deep and properly! so long story short great video! and Aj is a darn good powerlifter that’s for sure!

Great video! So detailed and precise. Vic you are practically training people for free! I like that you put a lot of thought while selecting a topic for your videos. They are all differant. You really know what people want.

Excellent instruction! Very nice job of breaking down all the technical aspects of this surprisingly technical lift.

Two suggestions:
1. More contrast between demonstrator’s clothes and background. With black top & bottom in front of a gray wall, it’s hard to see the subtle differences in spine position that are SO important. I also like to see different colored top & bottom with shirt tucked in, as this allows the best view of what the hips & spine are actually doing.
2. Could you address rounding of the lumbar spine at depth? Maybe not a concern for most people if stopping at parallel; but some will have their hips tuck under (ant. rotation of pelvis), forcing the lumbar spine to flex before they reach proper depth. If you know how to address this, it could be a nice addition to the video.

Once again, very well done, and very professional.

Very cool videos, but please change video hosting or player – vimeo just doesn’t work properly, at least on my Mac… cannot see the last 5 minutes…

It’s an amazing video. We learnt a lot of things through it. There should be a same video about deadlift as well.

Thanks A lot Vic Magary
