What's your favorite belt squat belt to use that's actually comfortable? I've use Spud and others and they were so uncomfortable. Thinking I need to use a hoodie just to not tear up my skin on heavier loads 😆

The belt squat (cable attachment) is the staple of my leg days. Really good investment for my home gym.

If that’s your Smith machine squat, I can’t even imagine what your barbell squat looks like. No wonder you made poor gains over the last 3 years of barbell squatting. And I don’t believe you made any major gains after switching to the Smith machine either, if that’s the way you squat.

Most people are taught “knees out” in a squat for ideal form. The reality is, this is not ideal for everyone and can even be limiting for a good squat. Here’s what to do instead 👇

The Asian Squat Test Step 1 - Drop down into a full squat with heels on ground Step 2 - Hold for 60-120 seconds Step 3 - Monitor foot angle & how the body feels This is a signal of ankle, knee, and hip mobility and leg strength, strongly correlated with independence, fall risk, and longevity as you get older. If you can hold this squat for a minute or more, you've got healthy hips and ankles. If you can't, start by holding onto a pillar and gently lower yourself into a squat position. Aim for 3–5 minutes total per day in short holds (30–60 seconds), and build up gradually.

Even being the richest man in the world, Elon is still the most accessible person who will squat down and talk to people. That's why I love Elon Musk.

Legendary bodybuilder Frank Zane once designed a piece of gym equipment called the "Leg Blaster." It combines a plate-loadable harness with a stand and handles you grasp to perform a leaning squat. In a way, it was the first pendulum squat. They now sell for crazy money.

Do you have lower back pain? A lot of the times, it’s simply because you have a weak posterior chain - glutes/hamstrings/lower back strength Add these at the beginning or end of your next workout! I didn’t get to a 500# squat & deadlift by accident 🧠

The reason most dudes don’t perform their Squat patterns with this tempo is because it will require they strip weight off the machine/bar Most would rather look cool standing next to the machine to people who don’t even care rather than do what’s necessary to get the BEST results possible Kind of insane tbh Oh, also…peep how slow that last rep was on the way up despite his best efforts to move it faster
