I was squatting above 224 at 33…I know that’s not much weight but for me that was the happiest day knowing I was working hard and now I keep working harder
Long femurs and short torso club member here. I ditched the comp squat and focused on elevated heel high bar squats for a few months. Made solid progress on comp squat. YMMV.
Tips to consider for a great squat. 1. Learn how to do a BW squat over and over to depth. 2. Work on mobility of shoulders - ankles - hips. 3. Set hands up first. 4. Whether low or high bar do the save thing over and over. 5. Brace while under the bar. Squeee the bar/pretend to bend it. 6. Avoid too many steps back. 7. Feel the floor with you feet 8. Avoid looking down. Look either straight ahead or slightly up. 9. Everyone sits differently, but the bar path needs to stay the same. 10. Keep your brace the entire time, until you have come up completely out of your squat. As for progressing, slow and steady will always win. MASTER YOUR FORM.

My problem was always consistent depth and sitting back into the squat. So I finally put a stool behind me to bounce my butt off of and it helped dramatically.
I’ve never squeezed a bar when benching. I’m always pretty chill. I’ll give that a try
Holly sh*t!!! I want my back to look like yours 🙌
0:50 has made my entire day 😂
I just squatted 555 but it was high. I was so bummed
Great timing -- I'm 1RM testing today! Not going to throw off the pattern that I've been training with -- but it'll be useful to be thinking about these fixes to identify how I think they might inform my upcoming training.
Thanks for your videos. I’m really enjoying them
my ankles are my problem. when I get to depth no matter what I do my heels raise slightly and I think my ankles just run out of ROM
Lat engagement helped a ton with my bracing. One question though, do you maintain full tension of the bar into your back coming out of the hole? I feel like pulling the bar full force downward into my upper back makes it harder to simultaneously squat upwards Appreciate the info you're putting out 💪💪
Thanks
I’m narrow stance feet forward, thinking all 3 points of contact for feet and atg and my glutes activate at the bottom perfectly, now where they never did before. Going atg I don’t get knee pain anymore as my knees aren’t taking all the force from stopping prematurely and changing direction.
How do you prevent your power belly getting pinched by your belt? No matter the position, when I'm in the hole the belt just digs deep into my skin. If a have the slightest amount of forward lean, my stomach looks like a my chemical romance album cover by the time I'm done.
Haven't been on the strength side of Youtube for a min. Damn Bromley you've gained a shitload of subs! I remember when you and Wenning were neck and neck and now you have more than double his subs LOL. I guess him stonewalling people in the comments didn't help much. Congrats on the growth!
Long femured squtter here. My squat takes like 8 months to improve even a little
I can't get any squat position where my wrist doesn't feel like it's gonna snap in half.
