What are your top tips for squatting? by Dr Stuart McGill Part 18 of 18 

Thanks Chris, glad you found it useful!

Dr. Baraki from Barbell Medicine is really good as well.

As a general rule reverse lunges are fine, but it depends whether your low back rounds at the bottom of the movement

@@ChristopherHoleTraining thx

I've 3 disc bulges. Surprised, No Pain with reverse or curtsy lunges. Nor reverse sledge.

I think it’s depression of the shoulders

@@ChristopherHoleTraining that makes more sense :) In any case Stu is the GOAT!

I was thinking more so the feeling at the top of a pull up is what he meant

If you listen, he wants the lats to help with extension but also stiffen the trunk. A cue I've heard is basically like what hes saying: pull the bar down into your upper back (almost like doing the top end of a behind the neck pullup) to really lock in the lats. This really stiffens up your torso, creates proximal stability, and prevents (thoracic/lumbar) forward lean.

Start with this exercise ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tlHRpKDXw7A.html

thanks a lot sir herniation is in c6c7

This exercise is Lumbar herniation but the principle of using gravity to help will still hold

thnks a lot sir

You can't. That's why you need to strengthen the muscles around it and stop flexing.

This sounds like an assumption of the viewers

Because that's a dumb idea

@@ChristopherHoleTraining I got to give it to him. Nobody before or since has went to such great lengths to avoid a proper squat. It's rather inspiring.

@@miltkarr5109 What’s your definition of a proper squat?

@@ChristopherHoleTraining hamstring touching calves. Time to get in the hole Mr. Hole. Lol.

That's one type of squat, why is this type of squat better than all the others?

Maybe it’s also interviewing 101 to communicate listening-sounds, to encourage furthering.
