3 Common Squat Errors feat. Austin Baraki 

I"d say the most common squat error at least at my gym is... not squatting.

Never a bad video if they have Austin or Jordan giving advice. People should feel grateful that they are receiving these tips for free

Austin's RPE 10 Face is scary af

Best advice that cleaned up my squat, "glue your feet to the floor and balance over mid foot," not sure why because it seems kind of obvious, but a conscious effort to "plant" my feet prior to descent made the whole movement easier.

Alan, you didn't say whether we should train untamed or not. Now I don't know what to do with my life 😭

I was once one of those guys doing the straight shins in a squat. Moving my knees forward of my toes made all the difference in the world!

Eye popping insights. Thank you sir.

These video from Alan and BBM are just brilliant, I've returned to the barbell after a number of years off, long term ankle injury leading to hip issues. Had operation to ankle with good results. Now close to 50 years young and following the sound advise on here my strength and flexibility has never been better... 👍

3x bodyweight squat at the end. That's some serious strength! Im working my way up to 2x body weight!!

After fucking around with so many different cues, the only thing that ended up working for me was "Feel strong and stable." Having that on my mind pretty much fixed everything. Balance shifting and/or knees coming in doesn't feel stable, and a back angle that feels too vertical/horizontal or is shifting around at the bottom doesn't feel strong. It's not just "move the weight". It's "move the weight with strength and stability". If you're like me, then your body will know what to do.

I am a new personal trainer and do HOURS of research when I am building a program for a new client (new trainer struggle bus). Just wanted to say I really appreciate education I get watching your videos. It helps takes the written word and make it make sense. Just too good.

Watching Austin's squat gives me instant power to re-rack all the weights scattered by people in gym. Thanks senpai🙏🏻💪🏻🔥

I LOVE the content you, Austin&Jordan bring us. Simple, straight to the point and informative. It all makes sense that way, thank you!

his eyes looked like they were going to pop out. my goodness! the strength you guys have! love these videos!

Thank you for taking the time to post this video. I appreciate it. I look forward to using it on my next workout session. Cheers!

3x body weight squat, that dudes a fkn beast

Back in February I hurt my back from squatting N haven't squatted since then. Recently I found out Alan's channel watched his squatting videos been squatting just with body weight with similar body mechanics N Today I low bar squatted 115lbs N it felt good squatting With perfect form but it aggravated my low back....... If only I found your channel sooner Alan Thrall , now life will never be the same.

i like how he talks about the importance of keeping a more horizontal back angle while rising and he goes vertical at the end of the video.

5:46 I lost my lunch laughing

600 LBS at 199 LBS is awesome!

Such good clear coaching. Loved the point about how fixing balance over the foot fixes lots of upstream issues.

1:49 Damn man, I need that picture as a poster on my wall.

Austin Baraki is the man! Thanks for these tips!! Really helped me big time.

i think pointing out the chest to the where to look at on the floor will fix my problem in the next session thank you so much

Does low bar help build pecs & my chest split?

The chest pointing at same place queue is really good advice thank you

Love Austin Baraki vids - they clarify so much misinfo I've "learned" from bro science over the years.

These pointers helped alot. Especially the balance on the heel. Im one of those. Thanks for calling out on putting balance on front and back to get the idea where to be. Always Low bar ftw 🙌. Way more comfortable while doing them. I used to hate squatting. Would stand bar wants to roll. Lower neck would hurt. Ive went up in weight comfortably with the set up. Thanks

This series are pure gold!!!

Very helpful pointers here, thanks Austin!

Making the tubes just a little bit better one video at a time! Great content, Alan!

Thank you for all the videos you post about low bar squatting they have been super helpful to someone who is unfamiliar with this style of squatting.

That squat at the end was beastly!

I saw that I needed to keep my shoulders tight so I had my elbows up way too high, with the wrist flexion and everything. Starting feeling low-back pain this week, and I've always struggled with keep my weight from shifting forwards, I think this is it- I'm accidentally shifting the weight forward, causing more pressure on the spine to keep me upright. Thanks so much for the tips!

Austin did this drill with me personally and it helped my squat out big time, great guy...

most perfect explanation/demonstration of low bar squat!

One of the best squatting videos I've ever seen.

4:55 Exercise for finding and staying over the mid-foot in squatting.

Didn't discuss breathing but I can see it - You ROCK Allan

Come on AZB!!! I thought you were going to say it!!! I watched the whole dang video while anticipating those 2 magic words at the end!!!

Excellent tuition based on sound basic body mechanics. Worth a watch if you like squatting

Best tutorial yet on low bar. Great job guys.

Amazing video, helped me with some of my mistakes, especially doing low bar with high bar technique and not using hip drive

this is the best squat tutorial in the whole universe...helped me a lot..i could add 15 kg more to my max squat just by following the cues mentioned here...

Super informative! Please do more of these with Dr. Baraki for the other main lifts. Thanks!

Wonderful review of focusing into common errors. Me? Guilty of using too much back coming out of the hole. Gonna try to keep me eyes, head and chest focused as my cue.

Watching these videos lets me know that I need a coach

That’s why I feel my lower hip sometimes... because I keep my shin straight and not passing my toes when going down... great advice

Non-specific corrective exercises at 5:46.😂😂

I Fucking love your videos man. I watch them before I hit the rack. Thanks for providing such great resources

Geezus, the first tip hit me in the face. It's exactly what I've been struggling with. Learned me some!

Screw that, I'm going with your non specific corrective exercises 😂😂😂

Very helpful about holding that back angle before straightening out at the top.

Awesome video!!!! Thank you so much all who were involved with the making of it. Bout to go piss some people off and take all the damn plates for my squat lol

That last tip was golden for me. Thanks so much.

Changed my form after watching the video. Does squatting this way use your lower back muscles as well? Felt some tightness in my lower back after the workout.

Thanks for putting these videos out here! It helps!

This video is a blessing mhen, u have my gratitude 💯

Thanks for sharing that your knees can shoot too far out...I've been doing this without realizing it and my squat felt a lot better today when I focused on it

that was extremely helpful for me. i have had endless squat issues and the outside of my feet lifting up off the ground. now i have a good idea of how to fix that and work more on my technique. thanks!

had to go back and watch the "non specific corrective exercises' illustration about 4 times LOL! Golden!

Great video. I much prefer this kind of useful advice than Ripp's condescending handwaving. You guys are doing a great job promoting and supporting the starting strength model. I do miss the old untamed strength variety of content though.

More videos like this please. Very informative! Thank you.

Great video and information, always a great refresher to watch but the last tip was something Ive struggled with so Im going to give that a go next time. Thanks!

One problem with the "below the scapula" cue, is the the bar is horizontal, while the spine of the scapula is diagonal. Therefore, the bar is, I assume, below the acromion, but above the medial end of the spine of the scapula?

Alan, thanks for introducing austin and jordan to us!

Best video of how to low bar.

Great stuff - enjoy the barbell medicine team.

I recently tried shifting the balance towards my heel to see if that helps with my tendon inflammation. No, nothing to do with that. It's entirely just overuse from increasing weight too quickly and muscle outgrowing the tendon.

Great info guys ! Thank you

Love the simplicity!!! Thank you

Very cool. Learnt a lot just through this one video.

Great explanation Alan, thumbs up

Great video man! Appreciate it, always the best advice

End up doing a good morning 😂😂😂😂

the corrective exercise was pretty hilarious.

Spotter at 2:16... "You got this bro. If you need me I'll be checking my insta." haha.

Very helpful thanks guys

I just started following your page. Found out from your video yesterday that im way over trained. Now im watching these wishing I could get into the gym 😂

Thanks for make our technique better.

Good thing the spotter was there to catch that when it slipped out Allen 5:46

Thats interesting about the grip. I went to a starting strength certified coach and was taught to grip it differently than here. I think whats presented here makes more sense so I'll have to experiment a bit.

Gold... this video is absolute gold!

Baraki's a f**king weapon!!!

So what is the difference between hip drive and a good morning squat? I've been really focusing on pushing my knees forward and breaking and my knees and hips at the same time. as well as nipples and eyes to the ground in front of me. I was a really bad good morning squatter. I still feel like my squat is two motioned but the bar and my hips continue to move on the way up. I don't feel the squat in my back but in my legs. Is there a good way to tell if this is a good morning squat or am I just being too hard on myself? Thanks!

austin's a beast. hopefully we'll see future collabs with him. good info

Wow that was so clear. Great description of how balance over mid-foot clears up lots of problems.

I was always taught to drive through the heel, so I've always tried to balance towards the rear. Damn.

Extremely helpful!

The thing I really want to know is how to stop left arm pain caused by low bar squats. I've googled this, and it seems pretty common that the left arm in particular gets some sort of tendinitis or something from the shoulder, down the outside of the biceps, and into the forearm. It's so painful it screws up press and bench press sets and hurts for days afterwards. Last night, I tried placing the bar a bit higher than usual and resting my palms/wrists on the bar instead of pushing with them while keeping my elbows a bit higher. It helped the pain quite a bit (although it still hurt some), but it didn't feel as tight and stable. I've seen a lot of posts about this on the SS forums but no clear cut answer.

guy at the end reminded me of that scene in total recall.

3:08 that bar tilt tho

Bro u helped me so much in my squat gains!!!!!!! Thank u
