Courtney is me! I mean, sure, I’m a middle-aged black man, but you get the point.

i cant believe i went my whole life thinking i had to squat like the dude

I'm a tall, novice lifter and I've been struggling for almost a full year trying to figure out how to squat in a way that felt good. This video is GOLD!  I realized a stance like Cortney is what feels natural for my hips.  This information needs to be spread!

6 years on and this video will forever be useful

I need to have this book marked so when our “gym bro” tries to “fix” my squat I can just hold up video instead of having to tell him that my hips don’t work the way he thinks they should.

I'll never understand how people will come in the gym & do quarter squats with information like this available on the web for free.

Comforting to see someone (Corntey) in this sport that squats the way I do.  Nice video!

I've been given so much 'advice', " bring your feet closer", "don't open up your feet" etc etc but now I can finally get in a comfortable position armed with the right knowledge

So I started watching this video and then remembered that I did legs a month ago, so just going to go do chest and biceps.  Good luck with squatting though brah

"Get out of here, Go play in traffic." I had to paused the video cause I was laughing so hard.

This video is MONEY! Every trainer should watch this, awesome way to dial everything in. Thanks for the quality work!

Great video.  I spent years banging my hips up thinking there was some optimal squat position I needed to aspire to, and only recently accepted that my anatomy requires me to squat with a relatively narrow, toes out position, that finally allows me to squat pain free.  I wish I had this information years ago, rather than listening to these mobility "gurus" that are selling so-called optimal human movement.  No amount of foam rolling or banded hip distraction will change your hip socket.

I'm a new lifter myself and trying to figure out the correct technique to squat so this was very useful! Thank you

This video helped my squat more than anything else I've seen. I've been lifting for 15 years.

in the first two minutes of this video I learned the most natural way for me to sqaut is a-OK. For months I tried by the book way but it never felt right. Thanks for this video

I've been experiencing pain in my right hip for these past two weeks after my workouts and I started to get worried that I wouldn't be able to squat heavy anymore, even though I'm pretty religious with my warm-ups and mobility exercises. I tried experimenting after this video and I compared my current squat stance (feet just outside of shoulder width, pointed out) with a narrow stance where my legs were more or less straight with my feet underneath my hips and pointed out. Whereas my hip would fire up when I just got down to parallel with the wide stance, I didn't feel a thing with the stance I tried out. Almost unbelievable that something so simple could make a huge difference! I think you saved my hips! Thanks!

I have struggled with terrible squat form forever, and videos like this are pure gold, thank you!

Really needed this. Like Courtney I squat with a very wide stance naturally and I had a trainer who kept saying it's wrong and forced me to squat with straight toes and narrow feet. It totally put me off squats and even affected my self confidence a bit. I am getting back to squats now and even more encouraged after watching this. Thanks. 😊

I feel like crying. I heard for years about how my toes should be forward and how I need a narrow stance to do a squat properly, when at the end of the day I'm a big-boned, wide-hip, 5'0" woman and always felt better with a posture that essentially mimicked my own body structure. It was so demoralizing to feel as if I couldn't even do a basic exercise "properly" that I lost so much confidence and motivation. Now I'm over 30 lbs overweight and desperately want to get healthy again, so it's such a relief to finally hear from an actual PhD that yes, the squat I can do comfortably is the correct squat for me, and odds are I know my body better than anyone else when it comes to other exercises too.

Thanks Dr. Quinn!
