It really works. I used to think I was too fat or too stiff to get depth, but this solved everything. Turns out I naturally started using that cue at some point after seeing a video of how high my squat really was.

This video should have a million views

Super helpful. Finding that perfectly braced and locked starting position has been a bit of a struggle for me. Tomorrow is another day!

The squat is such a technical lift, I think the technique impacts this more than any other exercise

1:44 bruh

This is the shit brining me back in to the sport

1:42 had me dying

Bracing properly gives the hips a little more space to move into internal rotation. Working IR and bracing will do wonders

Thank you for this one! I'm 52, started powerlifting with my son at 49. Doing my first comp in June. I implemented these techniques for my squat days yesterday. Definitely made lift off feel way easier. It's going to take some work getting the descent right but I will work on it. Thank you!

I fixed my depth issues by programming box squats set lower than needed. Worked like a charm 😁

When I started powerlifting squat depth was my nemesis for months...I thought everything was fine until I filmed myself and saw that I was way way over parallel 😢.  I had to start all over again and lost many months in my training.

The very slight posterior pelvic tilt in the beginning is a good tip and both helps me keep my brace as well as end up in the proper position at the bottom. Depth has been a problem for me so thank you.

I'm lucky enough that squatting has always felt natural. That bracing technique is also useful for deadlifts

Dude this is the most helpful video I’ve watched for bracing! I was so frustrated today after trying a back squat for the first time feeling like I couldn’t get any depth with just the bar alone. This is great.

Thanks for this video. I found that I was getting in the habit of flaring my ribs (for many movements). It’s been surprisingly difficult to retrain. I didn’t realize how lazy my abs had gotten, and how my low back was doing all the bracing. Thanks again!

rebuilding my squat dealing with SI joint disfunction the past year and ribs down has helped so much!! although sometimes I find myself trying to get "lower" by flattening my torso even more than it already is instead of bringing my hips down lolol,,, (short torso long femur person)

This helped me a lot with my squat depth, i couldn't get to depth without losing balance near the bottom and almost falling forward or back but this helped a lot and now i can squat to depth without a problem.

The metal gear solid alert gets me every time
