See I’ve been confused about low bar squats for some time because I’ve been trying to do Mark Rippetoes version who says hip drive is important and I may be wrong, but I interpret that as a slight rise in the hips on the way up. I think this is probably a better way. I just gotta sort out butt wink also
McDonalds Rocks!
Awesome video. I'm trying to perfect my low bar squat. For whatever reason I don't like the high bar squat.
3:34 whats with that weird half hip break- pause then full hip break? Id cut that out.
Toes not pointing outward .
This is how a cybernetic organism squats.
Thank you Omar and Alastair! I applied the entire technique that was presented in this video, especially sitting the hips back first then the decent. Sitting the hips back first resolved my bar path and bouncing forward out of the hole problems. This video was extremely helpful.
He has a HUGE buttwink. Yes he's FAR stronger than I am but instead of breaking at the hips, isn't he hyperextending the spine? Dangerous with a lot of weight on the spine isn't it?
how to buttwink
Omar, does it matter if you wear squat shoes for the low bar squat?
Man my form was fucked until I saw this
Can anyone tell me why his butt wink is okay?
I get he's a professional and he's doing it the right way but I don't know how else to call that
Any advice for elbow pain during low bar??
Nazi Salute at 5:10 is key before you perform the low bar squat.
why call that 'good morning'?
Ok cool thank you I appreciate this video.
This video is Canadian as fuck
This video is Canadian as fuck
Drive the shoulders BACK INTO the bar!
Nice.
ok im going to pinch My muscles together and throw 300#s on a small area? need to reword that
why are your knees not pointed out in the squat? Won't it hurt? Great video tho, thanks
Love the coverage and how many other YouTube stars you do videos with. Great work Omar 😀
5:10
Help! I have no shoulder shelf. Bar tends to roll off making my arms bear the weight.
Thank you. This was very helpful.
Sign the dude in the red shirt up for some calf raises in the near future!
Good vid bro
def a good morning guy. couldn't fix it so trainer told me to switch over to high bar D: ):
Great video…trying in gym now
Alastair has flawless squat form. His instruction in this video is gold. I can't wait to go to the gym in less than 48 hours to squat without lower back pain. I imitated the way he squats in my bedroom with a 20lb weight bar and my lower back feels much more protected and powerful.
I just don’t get that hip hinge 🤔
Fucking hell, I can finally get into a solid low bar position. Great video!
Thats not low bar like rippetoes one.. Who is right who is wrong? Mark Says you have to point nipples toward floor
One of the greatest low squat videos
This video, from 2014, is the best low bar explanation I've found! Crazy. Well done both.
This is the most well explained squat workout. -greetings from Philippines
What’s the lumbar doing and how do you keep that rigid?
Thanks man best squat video I've seen I think this will fix my squat for sure!!!
This is what i looking for. Thanks
Swooping is bad
2:00 "I'm gonna take my grip just outside the shoulders." Ummmm, what? Lmao
I'm 6'3" with a very long torso. Switched from high bar to low bar. High bar puts way too much strain on my back. I just started squating about 2 months ago. Low bar feels way more natural for me.
lol he looks like he should be a movie star.
Low bar is so uncomfortable for me but my trainer doesn’t want me to try high bar
He kinda talks with the same pace as PC principal from southpark
Why do guys put the safety bars a good foot below the lowest point they bring the bar. Completely pointless.
struggling with how to grip the bar with my hands with this variation, any tips?
Thats the most pretentious squat I've ever seen
Alistair looks like he was born for weightlifting! Great video! I've been having trouble fixing my good morning squat. Gonna try this fix at the gym today!
