Thanks j03.
I guess no one got my "Dave-Tate-fashion-tips-kind-of-inside-joke-thing" at the beginning of the WS intro videos...A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

Thanks for the awesome video, Sensei!
I was waiting for you to make a video on zercher squats for a long time.
I've always pronounced Zercher as "Zerker", guess I was wrong

You seen this before? I just thought the linear aspect of weight bearing during a squat could be something you talk about in the next Squat Rx...just a thought
-
Sure. Of course, keeping the weight centered is always an absolute necessity.
I thought I had talked about this briefly in SQ Rx #4 with bar positioning and in the Front Squat video, but maybe I didn't.
I'm putting together stuff for a video and will put up some new videos soon, but it's been tough finding solid chunks of time.

Sensei, I have something you may want to add.
I get to train with the top track cyclsits in the world, some incredbly strong guys and girls. Their coach is very big on hip mobility.
Have you ever done hurdle step overs, i found its good to do them with a Smith machine set up at just below the hips. The techniqueis to step over with the ips sqining out far to the side.
I do this forwards, backwards, and holding a weight over head, incredible for the hips.Being a strong teenager means nothing.
My wrists hurt, but some people don't have wrists to be sore. My knees have tendinitis, but some people don't have legs to get tendinitis in. I seem to be going backwards with training, yet some people can't even walk let alone lift 400 pounds on a daily basis.
Dust out the vagina, and keep on lifting.

Squat Rx #20: Thoughts on the Power Clean
Video
Just a note about the exercises presented, I DO realize that they might promote other bad habits (like projecting the weight away from the lifter), however it is, IMHO, preferable to lack of hip extension.A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns.

Thanks for all these, Sensei. I have a real problem with engaging my hams and glutes, allowing my knees to rotate in, and understanding hip drive in general. Your videos have helped me with past issues and have been very useful to me in diagnosing and eliminating my current squat problems.
Also, LOL at the sports science dorks trying to disprove hamstring activation in one of the Rx vids.
-
These videos are awesome, I feel I can go into the gym with a lot better form than what I had before. I appreciate it!

Filmed a new video a couple of weeks ago. Just got around to finishing it.

Great information in here, thanks!

Any new vids in the works?

Probably not, but maybe if there was a pressing matter or demand. There are some finer points I've been considering making videos about but most things have been addressed in the blog.
