Tama ba ang form ng squat mo? - The plague of high squats

Check natin form natin.
It happens in every country, on every continent. All around the world, people are squatting high, and the reasons are endless. Some people just want to move more weight; reducing the range of motion allows for this. Pack on the plates, bro. Others mistakenly think that squatting is bad for their knees, because their dad, dentist, milk man, and their mother’s second cousin all told them that squatting destroys your knees. Unfortunately, many fitness magazines reinforce this, extolling the safety of half squats, and their ability to isolate the quads. As a result, there are people who do this and call it a squat:
I’m not exactly sure what to call that, except a waste of time. Unless, of course, you use very light weights that don’t require any effort to hold, and perform 2 sets of 30 to really tone your thighs, in which case this is acceptable. That’s called cardio, isn’t it?
“Squatting is not bad for your knees….the way YOU squat is bad for your knees.”
If you only care about the best things to do, then you know what I’m going to tell you to try; squat deep!
It’s not exactly rocket science, and you make be hating me for the over-simplicity, but if you want to squat better you have to squat more. The caveat there is that you need to use proper technique or you won’t get anyway. In addition to just squatting more, you need to do more unilateral work, for several reasons. These include that it will make your legs stronger, it will help train a stable core, and it will increase your mobility.
You may quarter squat 405, but you get stapled to the floor with 135; what’s the point to that? You’ve developed ‘strength’ through a very limited range of motion, and your joints are going to make you pay for it the long run. When you start using single leg work you’re very limited at first because it takes a while to master the movements. (About a week ago I watched a friend go through a lower body workout of body weight split squats; he said he was sore for a few days after.) While you’re learning these movements, you can focus on achieving a full range of motion. For some of you, this may just involve touching your knee to the floor on lunges and split squats. If you have more flexibility, you’ll need to elevate your front foot. This gives you more range of motion for the flexed hip, which will carryover to increased depth in a deep squat. Check out the depth on Eric Cressey’s Dumbbell Bulgarian Split Squat from a Deficit. If his split squats are symmetrical, he shouldn’t have an issue maintaining a neural spine during bilateral squats.

Kaya ngayon nagreset ako para siguradong full rom.
Anlalaki ng mga katawan tapos ganyan form.
That's why he got 'em wheels.
Teka master parallel ba yan or parang yung form sa vid?
Maryosep ansasakit hahahaha
Kaya medjo napapa iling na lang ako pag nakakakita ng "quarter squat" sa gym samin e.
yung unang pic ginagawa ko now,dati yung pangalawang pic at ang DOMS niya ay lower legs lang sa taas ng tuhod. Pero yung unang pic ng ginawa ko,buong hita ang DOMS at yun na ginagwa ko. kaso nga lang mahirap mag heavy kapag upo na masyado pero masarap....:P
OT: check your journal.. may post ako about KGym
Ngayon tuloy ansakit sakit tingnan nung mga nag-gaganun na squats, kaso ang hirap sabihan na mali yung form nila eh. Baka kasi ma-hurt yung ego nila or mainsulto.
sir. nakita ko mga vids ni yang bakit ganun yun? pero anglupit ng katawan nya. artist pa siya. pero gago lang mga kadlaaasan na video nya haha. pero astig.
ok lang naman payuhan ng tama. ang masaklap tulad nung kahapon sa gym,tinuturuan niya yung baguhan ng mali. :unhappy:
Ganito gusto kong stance e.
Ano ba pinagkaiba nito sa hindi masiyadong nakabukaka?
Yun nga ang problema eh. May injustice din akong nakikita sa ganun kasi ang lalaki ng mga katawan nila tapos iwas na iwas sila sa legs. di nila alam di na proportional. ako naman hindi ganun kalakihan, pero pwede kong sabihin na proportional yung lower body ko sa upper body, hehe.
eto yata yung sumo squat boss allen eh. kapag sinusubukan ko to parang gusto kong mahiga na lang pagtapos. :twitcy:
matry nga yang ganyang stance..
Want bigger pecs? Do squats. Why? If you're squat heavier, you're poundages in executing a bench press will go up as well that will lead to more muscle gains.
parehas tayo ng problema pare. yung mga kaibigan kong alam na nagggym ako tinatanong ako kung naglelegs ako kasi nga yung calves ko halos walang development. nakaka-frustrate yun sobra. kung alam lang nila na halos maiyak ako sa calf raises twice a week. haha:twitcy:
