@@josephchu3322 really, I just need to buy bikes for all my kids so they can take themselves to all their activities. That would free up a good hour or so of my day. I feel like a non-stop Uber driver after work
I do a set of squats with just the bar and aset with a plate each side .. but I've got severe athritis so I need to check if my knee has any new crunching grinding issues before I proceed with heavier weights
I am as flexible as you and have just begun to squat. When I go to the gym, I get freaked out by how much lower I go. I also feel like I cannot do a lot of weight because I am so flexible, and new. Im afraid Im doing something wrong.
If you’ve got no major flaws in your form like low back rounding, knee cave, or excessive forward lean, consider yourself lucky. Keep squatting with low weight under control until your body gets accustomed to the movement then go from there 👍
@squatuniversity my squat depth gets affected as the weights go higher, is this hamstring related? I am still going below parallel at 80% but would like to go lower.
The black ones are usually 50lbs it all depends on your level ,yellow is good for starter but red is a little better since is more of a middle level , if your squating 225lbs & over red and up, 315 and up black and up but also comes to it been a warm up to get to the point to get to the muscle mind connection
How can I fix uneven hips? When I position mhself for squat, my right leg is a bit more forward than my left one and i get an even decent with the right leg being closer to my stomach on the bottom
You probably need to check his videos on lower back mobility and releasing the hips he has pretty good information it helped me with my low back pain it’s gone now 😊
The flexibility in my left ankle is almost non-existent because of numerous sprains. I've been doing these ankle banded squats, along with elevated heels goblet squats but after a hard workout my right leg, calf and glutes are always more sore than my "bad" left leg. I've also been doing banded ankle distraction to try and get some movement back in my left ankle. Any suggestions? Thank you and love your vids 👍🏾.
Squat warmup; Stretch every day. 1 set of 12 at 50% rep workout. 1 set of 10 at 50% rep workout. 1 set of 4 at 70% rep workout. 1 set of 1 at 90% rep workout. Do the math.
