Unfair advantage with the built-in bar cushion

@jimthompson9370 3 года назад

I’ve had months of trouble with my elbows from squatting. I’ve not heard of the rounding of the wrists before. This looks exactly what I need and I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks very much.

@Witcherworks 3 года назад

The heavy that weight gets, eventually the rounding of the wrist won’t hold. This is why I stopped low bar squatting. You don’t get this problem when the bar is on your traps with arms almost vertical.

@jimthompson9370 3 года назад

@@Witcherworks yeah, I tried their fix yesterday and still had the same problem. Plenty of people are able to do it though, so after going through my stance with my wife I’ve come to the unglamorous conclusion that I have mobility issues. I’ll work on my flexibility for a few weeks and see if that helps. Not as snappy or glamorous as a lot of videos make it with their clickbait tittles, but I think that’s what’s wrong. The high bar squat is also an answer and makes complete sense. I appreciate you posting. I want to get this technique right to allow me to both high and low bar squat in my routine without injury. Thanks again.

@@jimthompson9370 No problem Sir. The lowbar squat is great if you could hold it comfortably like the high bar but most of the time you are just tensing the heck out of your upper back, shoulders, and elbows. The heavy that weight gets the more tension it will take which I believe causes the pain. Have a great workout!

Been reading Rip for decades and gone to SS seminars but this is the best demonstration I have seen yet

I've heard these pointers before and am happy to see them put into action. This video is an excellent educational tool and I'm going to implement these techniques in my squat workouts.

@mirodaros 3 года назад

Man!! Thank you for posting, I really love you for that video!

@EternalVids Год назад

Amazing video. Watched a bunch of these, and this is the only one that showed exactly how to get under the bar.

Excellent demonstration of how to take weight off the bar (5:35).

Thank you!

@kylereece1979 3 года назад

Very very good advice here. My issue when squatting is discomfort in the hands and wrist during the movement. Im sure it stems from improper holding positions with the barbell on the shoulders so this video is a good help. Thanks.

@joshpck 3 года назад

The beginning of the video was genuinely creative and entertaining, nevermind the value of the main content.

@CitadelDefense1 3 года назад

Thanks. The thing that has helped me the most is making sure my knuckles end up being pointed straight up towards the ceiling so my hands are unable to bear any weight. Not sure if it is the best cue, but it has fixed most of my elbow pain.

@connorsingley5464 3 года назад

If you can get your grip that narrow then yes, point your elbows straight up. If not though, keeping the wrist in a neutral position is the best bet

@Hossak 3 года назад

Great video! I was also getting elbow pain until I realised that the bar should just sit there on the shoulders, took a while to perfect it. I try not to think about it now but it is amazing when you have 200 kgs just staying on the scapular shelf with little or no effort from your arms/hands required and it is just locked in. It is hard to believe it will just sit there until you master it and my bar is not that greatly knurled either. Good luck everyone and remember, elbow pain is not normal in squatting - sort it out!

@cooldude70-13 2 года назад

I like to think about pushing the the base of my palm against the bar when first setting up my hands on the bar

Those clippers looked nervous as shit going in.

@farhanhussain_ 3 года назад

It appears that short arms are helpful with barbell placement on the back at particular positions for high or low bar squats. Long arm may pose some additional challenges.

@adamjeromef Год назад

My arms are actually relatively longer for my build, you just can't go as narrow in your grip.

@farhanhussain_ Год назад

@@adamjeromef same for me. Arm span is +4"

Anytime I'm squatting over 300 my elbows start taking a beating. Been trying to address my form, but my dang shoulders are so tight...

@denexploderanderosten9792 3 года назад

None of this changed my wrist/elbow pain. But finding the falcon grip changed everything, pain immediately gone.

@jacekblachsiewierski7140 3 года назад

Damn, a ginger yeti. I bet he has some sick race bonuses to luck and strength. Btw how to get access to that race. Do i need some achievement or simply buy from premium shop?

Directions unclear. My back is now covered in orange hair. Send help.

Everytime I come back from vacation and I cross 130kg+ squats, I get left elbow pain at the outside. I have watched this video many times. I should stop trying my stupid mind from deviating from these cues. I must watch this video on every MWF before workout so I don't mess up my form. I must thank Starting Strength for making me stronger than ever before. I used to squat only 60kg. But after reading SS and following them on every platform, I reached 140kg squat. Deadlift went from 110kg to 202.5kg BP from 50kg to 100kg Press from 40kg to 70kg! I strongly believe that if I had SSC in India then my PRs would far better 🙂

@brucemackenzie4952 2 года назад

Why would you not grip the bar, not sure about the way you grip the bar.

@ministryofanti-feminism1493 3 года назад

Do you have a link where i can buy a little pouch of that orangutan's shaven back hair??

@dard4642 3 года назад

I suffered with medial and lateral elbow tendonitis for months after to switching to low-bar without correcting my grip. It was pretty brutal pain. The most painful part of my workout was racking and unracking plates. All of my back training suffered during that time because any type of pulling motion that required grip (which is all of them) was nearly too much to bear. A coach fixed my grip and it healed in a couple of weeks.

@clintkennedy8387 2 года назад

... but you don't tell us how he fixed it.

@Gas10020 3 года назад

This squat grip problem on the straight bar has affected too many people. Just buy a cambered bar. You can low bar squat with the same torso angle we are looking for without all the elbow problems involved with a straight bar.
