Excellent tutorial. All the greats reinforces how important wedging under the bar is and creating that stable shelf/upper back (Toshiki, Rondel Hunte, Jamal Browner, Jesus Olivares, Matt Wenning etc etc).
There wasn’t enough weight on the bar to press him down into proper form. I’m a bigger guy also and I have to put at least a couple plates on the bar to do a proper squat. Pablo weighs over 400lbs so he probably needs 365 on the bar to do a good and proper squat.
@@dcosio97 thats literally nonsense. its not that the "weight wasnt heavy enough" he either has a strength or mobility (or both) imbalance. It certainly isnt that "the weight isnt heavy enough". That is utter nonsense. Pablo does that in competition to but hes strong as fuck so he can get away with it for now.
Jesus has the best form I've ever seen in the squat you got it perfected you're the right person to teach someone how to squat my form sucks I really struggle with this exercise lol.
@@gmontenegro9711 yah idk, that's what they said in the podcast. I also recently watched a Mitchell Hooper "what I eat in a day" episode, and if I remember correctly he was at like 5-6K for maintenance as well. Anecdotally, I myself was eating 4500-4600 cals and barely gaining when i was 215ish last year, but I was doing 4x PL & 3x BJJ weekly. This year I got up to 235-240lbs and was only eating 3-3.5K cals. So who knows man. I tend to just track my weight daily, and look at the weekly average each sunday, and base my intake off that. I don't really use the online calculators calorie recommendations anymore.
