@@briangonzalez6744Honestly his name does not matter. Sometimes it's better to just be a good person doing a good thing rather than getting recognized for it. I'm not saying the coach doesn't deserve the recognition, I'm just saying that he's an ordinary guy who probably just saw this as doing his job.
With the debate about "fair use" tho, is it right that he doesn't add anything to the original video tho other than the pic of his own tweet? Like he doesn't even ever credit the original content creator by posting a link to their socials.
@TCt83067695 Fair use is for "transformative work." That is pretty vague, but it has held in court that posting a caption(tweet in this instance) on another work is theft of IP. That being said, only the original owner or someone on their behalf can be sue or issue a copyright claim. So long as the original owner of the work, i.e., the camera man, doesn't issue a takedown it is "fair" enough. So unless they are aggrieved or litigous, nothing is going to actually happen.
@@monkeybandit4162well you go and tell many young ass 20 25s kids at my gym then. Anytime I squat with pairs of safety bars, they look at me like I am beta :))). Those kids looking after the strongest kid who squat without safety bars and ass to the grass, that strongest kid in the group was saved from a PT from injuries once because of squat. He was out of gas, out of strength to lift 140kg up to the rack, his face was pale and his position was in squatting pose and almost neck injuries just like the recent dead famous bodybuilder.
I do a mid to high bar placement. Been doing that since high school. It just feels comfortable and natural to me. We had had dudes sitting the bar on their necks and getting folded over. Being much more experienced now, that is an extremely dangerous placement. We were also never taught how to safely bail. I just usually set the safety bars just a little bit lower than my full depth. RIP to Justyn Vicky.
We got obliterated so these youngsters could fly. I’ve been learning a lot about this late in life. Luckily I had no major injuries growing up. Never was a ego lifter, that probably saved me.
Yeah, same here. We didn't even have mandatory lifting, only the dude's who cared lifted. I dont ever remember seeing any of my football coaches in our weight room
@@vitoscalleta4431Nothing. Imo it was a perfect demonstration. Only thing he didn’t say was to remember to keep the core tight. Which is pretty much a no brainer when squatting anyways
@@vitoscalleta4431Well first and foremost NEVER wearing running shoes while squatting, especially not ones with a 1 inch cushion. Your feet are the base of stability, why would you want to stand on anything with gives in any direction when you're gonna be carrying weight. Lifting shoes use wood or hard plastic wedges because they're stable and won't flex. He gave a lot of good cues and form advice but none of that matters when you can't balance
He went through everything so efficiently. I would only maybe point out that the heels need to stay flat on the floor and that feet width might vary depending on the person... But he nailed the basic information anyone should have when learning how to squat. I've seen my fair share of people squatting with very poor form at my gym and it's just an injury waiting to happen.
@legroom4575 actually been on RU-vid for a long while now, a lot of people just didn't realize. Sometimes with the shorts you would have to click the 3 dots on the short in your watch history for the save option, but it seems to work all the time now. Definitely useful.
One thing he forgot which is also very important and a common mistake is NOT to wear any squishy ass running shoes. Haha I've made that mistake in the beginning
@@bosfbanksy7673shoes with a lot of cushion make it impossible to create a stable foot and a good connection to the ground. Imagine trying to use your hands while wearing mittens with cushion inside of them.
@@bosfbanksy7673 stability. Your weight will shift too much and could cause you significant issues with heavier loads. Wear lifting shoes, flat soled shoes or go barefoot. You get even distribution on weight between your heel, big toe and little toe. He didn’t mention that in the video either.
He actually does a really great job explaining every aspect of the process. Now, if we could just get a YT short for every other possible workout w/ this same level of detail. No intros or outros or a long buildup or sponsors or ads. Just, "here's the ___ machine. It works this area of the body (point to area). This is how you do it" (& then, do it). While doing it, explain it, w/ this same level/detail, including what to know about proper form & potential mistakes avoid.
Thank you, I was looking for this comment. The fact that no one else understands is very alarming. The tf wears cushy shoes to squat, and who TF still wears Nike? Jesus
I’m in UK and we don’t even get taught anything like this in PE class. I’m so jealous these young guys get this earlier at this age, I’d have discovered a passion/hobby a lot quicker.
Technically it is a simultaneous break, which is what sends your hips back slightly as you initiate the squat. For most people, learning to hinge at the beginning helps to recruit the glutes and hamstrings better.
@@CIA_Alchemistit just depends what you want to focus on for squats. Knees first for quads, hips first for glutes and hammys, or both at the same time for an even split. Glutes are a stronger and larger muscle so it’s a bit more secure to train that first
This is the same coach who teaches how to properly bail out of a barbell squat when you can’t get it up. Awesome job by him teaching and educating these young athletes.
Should be laminated cards at the front of gyms for ques how to do the compound lifts. I don't like that staff try to get u to sign up with PTs wanting $100 a session. 90% of people can't afford that, end up hurting them selves and don't come back.
Need more people like this in the fitness world. Tired of watching these social media folks with poor form that will get others hurt because they see their idols doing bad reps. Stay safe and be strong ❤💪
@@spencergsmiththat’s a cue to counteract excessive forward lean. obviously your torso shouldn’t remain vertical, that’s impossible. but telling someone who’s already very hip dominant in the squat to use their quads more isn’t going to work as well as telling them to sit straight down
@@bigguy4u989 perhaps, but in my experience working with hundreds of clients, people tend to initiate the squat with their knees more often than not, causing a lack of posterior chain engagement and loss of heel contact with the ground. Of course each individual is different, but by and large this is the case.
@@spencergsmithIt can be done both ways. Any good olympic weightlifter will tell you to break at the knees first. But that's a different squat. You can also break at both simultaneously.
Tom teaches both ways depending on who the student is. Strength/Powerlifting he teaches breaking at the hip. Bodybuilding he uses a "quad dominant" approach. Different tools for different things.
He taught the general movement but some people might misinterpret his hip hinge as a queue to arch their lower back. And he didn’t mention bracing in this video either.
I didn't say anything about a belt. I was referring to a technique called "bracing" or "valsalva maneuver" which is absolutely neccessary for deadlifting ANY weight.@@hinglemckringleberry7372
Love seeing this! In high school at 6’2” 200# I was expected to load up the bar and squats were a big struggle for me. When I got to college a coach took time to help my technique and started to realize I had some ankle mobility issues and my squat max nearly doubled in a matter of a few months. At a young age train repetition not max and take time to get eyes on every kid in your programs technique, we had a weight coach that would plan a workout and then sit in an office during practice.
@@crnkmnky it’s when your hips kinda tuck forward at the bottom of your squat. It’s a sign that your core is not braced enough and there is a risk of lower back injury. Butt wink often means you’re either squatting deeper than you are ready for, or squatting more weight than you should be. Or both. It’s a common form error that often goes in corrected even in experienced lifters because it’s the sort of thing you can’t really notice on your own unless you record your workouts. And even if you do, it’s hard to correct in the moment because you aren’t aware of the flaw while you are squatting. It’s hard to correct unless you have someone with you who is being a hard ass about your form.
Great teaching and great form, what most people do know is their head goes down first instead of their lower half you have to empathize keeping the chest and head up and hinging at the hips like he said
I respectfully disagree. If you are teaching how to squat, you should teach every aspect from what shoes to wear to how to stand and how to get up. Any half knowledge is more dangerous than not knowing at all.
You don't need any specific shoes or any shoes period to squat properly... some shoes help with form for those that struggle with keeping form, but otherwise doesn't really matter. You can squat properly with just about any shoe.
@@christislord6136 Nope, i would respectfully disagree agree. Had it been that case, then there would have been no squat specific shoes or when people squat in competitions, they would have been wearing any shoes like the one which this teacher is wearing now. When you squat, your entire force should come from your foot, which is only possible if and when your boot feet remain on stable ground with body weight properly distributed amongst both the feet, which is only possible either barefoot or proper squat shoes. So it is completely wrong to say, "you don't need any specific shoes to squat". You can't squat properly with any shoes, which will surely lead to serious injury.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 As a Fellow Lifter for 20+ years and Cert Personal Trainer Awesome Explanation, Direction, and Demonstration of Said Words and Direction. Salute. All Kids and People Need this Instruction on Squats. Do the Frontal Squat video if you hadn’t. Great Quad Gains.🏋🏾♂️🏋🏾♂️🏋🏾♂️🏋🏾♂️
I was having pain in my lower back when standing with the barbell. Yesterday, I tried the hip hinge before bending my knees in preparation for the squat. Voila! No back pain.
I set up all my squats like he was demonstrating every time. I always take my time and walk a few steps, no matter how I can move the weight. I'm not in any rush to start the lift, but once I do I get them reps in. Helps a lot when you don't feel right, most of the time I need to step away for a second when that happens. 👏🏿🙏🏿
We need more coaches like this, we have some kids that have been squatting wrong their entire life and when the get to high school the get hurt becuae of what the weight is doing to their legs and back
Dude i so needed that back in my day. We didnt have that in our highschool I remember doing a leg day then getting back to the locker room and while putting on my pants my knee gave out i never felt that in my life its like my cap went out spinned around and then went back in thats what it felt like. I fell down after getting back up nobody even said you need to get that looked at i just went to class. Shortly after that football just wasn’t for me that knee was bad I didn’t trust it i was still really young and i kept thinking i cant get this knee hurt can’t play the game trying to protect a leg. This school is pretty cool having a vet teacher come in and teach the proper ways
There are a couple of things that could be added like bracing, wide stance and the direction your eyes should be looking at in order to keep a neutral spine but this was a good one ❤
I really wish I had this in high school and even college. Nobody was there to help which resulted in injuries. I have 2 herniated disc's in my back, and while in my 20s it wasn't a huge issue, at 35 I'm really feeling the repercussions. Will be teaching my son proper form and strength training techniques so this does not happen to him. Thanks so much for all the info you leave. It's extremely helpful and I've learned a lot.
Every school needs this!! Atleast one coach that weight trained on their path to greatness!! Natural athletes make horrible coachs,the guy who had to earn it....worth his/her weight in gold!! Hope these boys enjoy the correct training tips!!
This is what he’s supposed to do. And this is what all coaches actually do. I don’t think this is abnormal. I learned how to exercise and lift weights in high school 23 years ago, and I am still benefiting from that knowledge today. Shout out to ALL the coaches out there!
A coach at this level actually explaining how to weight lift, that’s awesome. Looking back, I wish I had a gym teacher or coach take time to explain this stuff.
This is great…I also was told by another fitness trainer to make sure my knees don’t go pass my toes. I guess maybe you can go as low as you want. It gets confusing sometimes with all the different information on here.😂❤
I’ve been working out for 20 years. I always avoid squats because I never really knew how to do them properly. I just use press machines and other leg exercises. Maybe now I’ll start working them in. Good shit.
Always try to keep your knees behind your toes. Usually that’s a sign that you’re “quad-dominant” and that muscle group is doing the majority of the work because your hamstrings and glutes are a little weaker. Extending your knees past your toes puts a lot, possibly too much stress, on the tendon that anchors your quads to your patella(kneecap). Get that butt out further and make those glutes and hammies work harder. Great video.
And keep eyes looking up at angle. Helps keep that good posture. We were lucky enough to have a good coach show us freshman year in high school as well. 👍🔥
