You misspelled hip DRAHVE.

The most helpful cue I have yet seen, to prevent straightening up too early, came from Jonathon Sullivan.  His 'wall of power' cue.   Imagining your butt is touching a wall behind you at the bottom then sliding your butt up the wall, maintaining contact with the (imaginary) wall as you come up.

Knowing hip drive is connected to back angle is very helpful. I'll need to watch this every 4 months as a reminder.

I've been saying this for YEARS 😭😭😭
A striking power comes from your hips, grappling 100% necessitates strong hips, and in lifting engaging your core (hip drive) is the best way to maximize strength.

Absolutely excellent tutorial on hip drive.  I just emailed this to myself so I can watch right before I squat each time.  My knees are killing me because I have not been doing this right.

Oh my! I can't wait for the inane babbling of the haters of this excellent content.

Nick really is a great teacher.

I'm now a bit confused, because somewhere else in the SS material (possibly the blue book?) the admonition was to maintain the back angle attained at the bottom of the squat as the hips drive up vertically.

Nick is such a good teacher.   Even if we have never see him lift!

what helps me on the upward phase is just to remember to keep the bar path straight. it makes me move my hips under me instead of trying to move my back upright.

I had a bad habit of staring at myself during the squat. I noticed that most lifters look down, I've started to incorporate this man does it work wonders.

I've always been squatting that way feels like, and I always thought  I'm putting too much strain on my lower back. I tried fixing it and I started having a bit of lower back pain out of nowhere, I was so confused I thought it was from the heavy RDLs that I was doing, I stopped them for 1 session, pain was still there, the next time I honestly had forgotten about my squat technique and I squatted the way I normally do which I noticed the next day when I had no pain and took a look at the recordings I had done and that's when I noticed I was squatting with my hips again, I got mad for a second that I had forgotten, but then a second later I was like "well damn, no back pain though, I guess I'll just keep doing them the way I've always done".

Though I thought i was doing this correctly on my own, I recently attended their squat and deadlift camp in Chicago.  I had it WAY wrong.  Bar position, elbows, torso angle AND not leading with my hips.  The coaches were great and really helped me learn to replicate this very unnatural feeling movement.

Excellent information and very little sales pitch. This shows exactly how, if you prove your knowledge of the subject, business will come in droves! Thanks for all you and the team at Starting Strength do to help us average people get strong.

Nick is a genius at explaining weight lifting!

Not sure how I still manage to learn something after reading the book and all these videos I’ve watched. 🤣 Great job sir.

Bre is my spirit animal.

Huh, I definitely learned something here. I have that tendency to lift my chest too quick at the start. Going to try exaggerating the hip movement at the start next time I'm doing squats.

Nick is an excellent teacher. I’ve learned a lot from him.

You TOTALLY revolutionized my squat!!! Thank you 🥲✨
