To squat, your butt needs go close to gras and not the upper body. The mobility in the hips looks bad. There is room for improvement, maybe start with Kettlebell Goblet Squats.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm demonstrating a good 90 degree squat which is what most people can do without compensation of other muscles. if people try to squat too low (down to the floor), they will have all kinds of muscle compensations, which we want to avoid. Also, I would not recommend adding any weight until you have good form first. Thanks! I'm sure your squats are awesome though!
@@MalinMethod Sorry, i just noticed this extreme hinge movement between legs & body. This bending forward of the upper body pulls the centre of gravity from the heel (where the weight should be during the squat) to the toes (where the weight should definitely not be). This leads to shortened movements in the hips and even damages flexibility. A little tip: It is best to practice barefoot, as any shoe that raises the heel only makes the posture more difficult. Incorrect pressure on the toes also damages the knee joints and is not so good for the intervertebral discs.
@@hirschcola1 I agree about doing squats barefoot, if possible (easy to with body weight, but not suggested if using weights for safety reasons). As far as the hinge movement, you have to lean a bit forward or you will fall backward. Again, I totally agree with keeping weight on heels as much as possible and using the glutes to decelerate down and accelerate up.
@@MalinMethod The straight squat also has a significant advantage : when stretching into the final position, it activates the glutes better. I take them out with every centimetre that the body leans forward. The glutes are a very underestimated muscle, because it is, so to speak, the shock absorber of our intervertebral discs. Many back problems have their origin in unstable glutes and spinemuscles. That's why a good squat is one of the most valuable exercises of all.
Don't put this on the internet please. Proper form requires your hands to be slightly below your pecs and in close like should be when benching. Tuck your elbows close to explode your lats. Don't screw people up with this kind of shit please
And notice how they were thinner then as well as healthier? It may be an old exercise but that doesn't mean it isn't effective!! I doubt you could do this for 30 minutes (which is how long they did it back then!)
