Squat General

When coming out of the hole for squats, are you supposed to be pushing up on the barbell with your arms like you’re trying to press?
Or do you just have your arms there for bar stability, and all leg drive?
I don’t have a picture of a thot so I imagine my thread won’t last long.

Stability.

iirc Ripp suggests you hold the bar down against your shoulders to keep your back tight

It's just to hold the bar still, if you keep your chest forward or at a steep gradient you'll feel the push from your feet and then your back once you hip drahve.

I pull the bar down to add weight

Stability. Your arms shouldn’t really even take much of the weight in a squat as you’ll end up squatting much more than you can comfortably ‘hold’ with your elbows. The weight rests on your back and your hips and legs do the work.

It's just for stability. The weight that your arms/shoulders press in ohp for example, pales in comparison to what you should squat. It's all in the legs boyo.

OP was answered in the first fucking post. Anyone below this line who still responds to this is a fucking retard.

HIP DRAHVE

As a beginner, you shouldn't worry about form so much. Just start by squatting your bodyweight only and wear flat shoes.

just grab the bar you imbecile

>As a beginner, you shouldn't worry about form so much

Solid advise right here lads

Not sure if refereing to that mong who squatted in sandals for the first time and ended up in ER

I push the bar up to push myself down making it harder to get up

10/10

I suffer from a minor anterior pelvic tilt, just like 80% of you do. Mines slightly worse than average and I’m having trouble with lower back pain after heavy squats and deadlifts.

I’m confident my form is as good as it can be, but my back is forced into a little too much of an arch as I’m coming back up for both exercises.

It’s gotten to the point where my 3x8 bench has surpassed my 3x8 squat by 10lbs. Have any of you had problems with APT during compound lifts, and how did you overcome it?

How do i increase flexibility for squats?

More deadlift is the key, your harmstring aren't strong enough and therefore not compensating enough by pulling in posterior tilt your pelvis

This would be the opposite problem of a butt wink yes?

hips UP, why you pressing bro?

I thought he suggested you push it into your back, not down? (which is why he subsrcibes overhand grip while squatting?

Too lazy to skim thru the book

Kek

Squat down with an empty bar, or no bar.

Have someone push down on the tops of your hips as you lift up.

Really? On my heavy sets, i usually find myself pulling the bar like a pullup, and i thought that was bad. huh.
