What Muscles Do Squats Work? Squats are a compound exercise, meaning the exercise involves multiple joint movements, alongside recruiting large muscle groups.Stand up straight with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

So Alan, I just wanna know, when the video:
how to: shit in the woods. Is coming?
Been waiting that for awhile! Been shitting in the woods with very bad form, and i am thinking i am losing my shitting-gainzzzz bro!
Keep up the good work!
I’ve seen this performed at my gym. Thought about trying it but to me it looks fairly high risk. It looks like a balancing act. And why not just grab the handles on the front of the bar?
Hope you all enjoy this video! If you want to scrub to a specific part in the video here are my timestamps:
0:24 equipment 2:26 setup 2:29 high bar vs low bar 4:02 grip width / hand placement 4:37 foot width / angle 5:23 elbow positioning 5:40 execution 5:46 breathing / bracing 6:49 walkout 7:10 forward knee travel in the squat 8:18 controlling the descent 8:39 foot rooting and control
If you think jump squats are evil, wait till you try SLOW jump squats!
Holy heck finally someone not referring me to “their program” “their book” or “their website” before the actual video starts
Her voice is to monotone and boring. I’m sure it’s useful information but I’m about to fall asleep
what about sissy squats? They actually make a blast to your quads.
wrong execution. he should look forward or up rather than down
Will it reduce the thigh and butt muscle or increase it. Can anyone confirm
Hello! So grateful for this channel. I made my first fitness video where I talk about Running Tips for Beginners, My Fitness Journey, and the Science of Energy Production if anyone is interested in that:) I am a junior in college studying pre-veterinary science. Have a good day and happy quarantine!
still waiting for a squat rack; but i have a weight bench; bar(s) & weights; so i’d say hack squats i’m gonna give them a go tomorow just found out about them right now
motionless at the bottom, no bounce at the way up. deep every single time.
Hahahahaha who squats like that? Idk if I’m stressed or what but the bad squat is so funny I can’t stop laughing ��
Many thanks for the video. I found it not only informative, but also easy to understand and most importantly very responsible. A ‘one size fits’ all generally doesn’t apply (everyone is different as you have mentioned) but focusing on core aspects of the movements mean giving everyone the necessary guidance in starting with squats. I’m a beginner and am looking forward to putting this to good use.
Great video. Love your channel. Keep up the excellent work!!! Wonderful upload! Keep it up! +thumb up3! +new fan!
FWIW, the pause squat helped me a lot when I was a novice because it fixed up my form.
Am just wandering, how come man see you and he doesn’t fall in love with you!!!
Esta genial, la terapia es lo mas importante para controlar los dolores
what can I do if I have poor mobility in my lower body?
I know I have to go low, it’s not about my knees I just have stif hips etc
Alan, when I hold my breathe during my squat, I get almost light headed and I get really drained, any tips?
He makes them look so easy!!!!! Like a knife cutting through butter! I just gotta practice my form and I’ll be there soon enough!
Wow I needed this challenge. Got my heart rate going and body burning. I’m 38 and plan to keep in shape!
I came here because I was getting laughed at at planet fitness lol
This is my favourite squats challenge. VERY difficult to finish through without pausing (wouldn’t recommend it) but very endurance heavy. Don’t feel like you have to finish the whole video in one session. 10/10 Variations are fun.
i miss the landmine squat….learned it from the buff dudes theirselves
Yesterday I did some squats and lunges. I don’t know why but I feel pain thigh so much. Please help me how I can cure the pain in thigh
Basically I my aim is for running 1600 meters in 7 minutes I just tried to work on my core and I did some squats and lunges plank and push ups. I badly feel pain in thigh while I walk on flat surface or on stairs please help me…..
Be careful when doing the overhead squat. You were rotating your shoulders outwards, they should be internally rotated
I’m doin’ this since locked down. And I’m seeing changes! Thankyouuuu.
Im on my 3 weeks now. ��
Edit: I just finished the one month challenge!
Its not a shocking result but It works for me! Make your booty firmer. I’m still doing it. Its all about consistency.:) and i lose weight too! Good luck! ��
Im getting more gains from this squat challenge than normal squat with a bar. Pretty good shit
Overhead squat are the best imo!
I perform it with a plate instead of barbell.
Like the 2 squats that came off the ground. I lack a squat rack and those are useful.
4:32 one day god damn it i will be able to perform that one.
I swear.
With the help of this remedy you can get rid from knee pain

What can you say about the pause rep squat of The RESPECT THE DEPTH?
I just did a 150 mini squat challenge video on my YouTube, if you do it 10 times you burn 300 cal
Low bar engages more muscle allowing you to lift heavier than any other squats and get more buff. As a secondary exercise definitely overhead squat.. Range of motion, balance, body control and core strength
This workout is amazing! I felt the burn!! I’m going to do this everyday!
G’day Alan, wow, have ‘just’ discovered your channel / vids, awesome stuff and really entertaining.. great voice-over reinforced learning tips also. Thanks alot mate from Australia. Cheers!
i recently had a hip pain during football. it 80% healed so would these type of excersizes put alot of tension on my hip?
Does the exercise on the step stool will make your calves bigger? Because I tried those and my calves got bigger ��
My knee pain has been helped by wearing a CBD infused knee compression sleeve by hemp symmetry and it works great!
I really appreciate that you guys list the exercises in the description. Very helpful.
2020 who is here��
I hope this will help me get rid of that big tommy ��
We people use traditional toilet instead of sitting toilet,
So squat is not counted as exercise in asian countries like nepal,india.
Brandon, you are the Thor/god of workout <3
Just watching the videos of this channel gives me so much encouragement.
I’ll ask my trainer to include Pistol squats in my routine and if ever I plan to workout on my own, box squats are so much safer and will give me confidence to squat without the fear of falling or losing balance.
Been doing pin squats. Helped with my high and low back squats.
I started yesterday may 12/2020. I do every repetition twice. total of 200 squats. I will do this every day for 30 days.i will give feedback on 12 June. I need to see if my dimples on my thighs will be removed. Thanks for the video.
Your low bar form is a little bit whack but you seem not to use that one that much. You have the idea though…��
might seem to be easy but it’s no nor it’s hard,speaking of experience
0:53 bending forward? No! Hinging back…. goodness that would be a dangerous bar path and probably a cue you should never reference again
Thanks so much for this. I just started with machines about 6 months ago and I know I need to graduate to weights soon, but it’s so intimidating! This helps a lot, but I really have a feeling you’d still want a coach to verify your form at least once.
Why would one want to eliminate the stretch reflex? Isn’t that encouraged for weightlifting?
March 2020: IT WORKS!
Day 1: Almost died, but completed it.
Day 2: 5 km running + this. I had a better form today, did everything in the same time with her. I even did the jumping squats in sets of 5:D. Yestarday i did them in sets of only 2:D. I’m a bit sore from yestarday, but feeling ok. Pretty sure tomorow i won’t be able to walk.
Day 3: I could do all of the 10 jump squats in a row. Today it felt like i did a medium effort, and it’s just day 3. Pretty sure i’ll add some weight soon, maybe the second week. I also did a 6,5 km walk, and no dinner today.
Day 4: I’m really sore and my legs are killing me. I did everything, but jumping squats only 5 in a row. Also, i did a 7 km walk.
Day 5: Better than yesterday, but still hard. I feel some pain in my legs. I did everything but i added more pause time than here. Meh, i’m going to improve soon, i’m pretty sure. No improvement in my legs ofcourse, to soon. Today i had a pizza (no meat), so i think i was a bit tired becouse of all the fat… Tomorow i’m going back to veggies and fruits <3.
Day 6: pause
Day 7: pause
Day 8: I did the entire exercise, but it waaaaaas haaaaard! I felt like i just started. So many pause days are awful! Going to take one single free day (friday), and that’s all.
Day 9: Feeling better, had a great form and did everything in the same time like she. Keeping the died, mostly plants, and coffee scrub for my legs.
Day 10, 11, 12 did everything and starting to see some results.
Day 13, 14 pause
Day 15 My legs are getting toned, the cellulite isn’t that obvious, my skin is so smooth from the coffee scrub. I really like the progress. I am going to keep doing it.
is there risk of passing out doing this and how much of a risk?
I’m a powerlifter who trains heavy back squats with a barbell and weight plates. I think I have a Overuse injury like runners/jumpers knee because I have a lot of pain in the front of my knee cap when I barely bend my knee (near the top of the squat, almost standing). What can I do and can u confirm if this is an overuse injury?
3:33 I admit that I need to work on my form. I did squats yesterday afternoon and I’m still in pain. Will do this one tomorrow because I need to learn how to better my form
i feel pain in my left knee when i twist it or bend it for a long time what kind of therapy will be best for it can you help it
I have sooo much of pain in my ties.first time i did this please help
i do not recommend anyone doing overhead squats not really sure why they would include them here, they’re mostly for olympic weightlifters and should most certainly not be done in a high rep range.
great video. how about pause squat (high out low bar)? does that count?
I’ll keep updating my 100 squat challenge
(So far my waist is 39.50 inches)
I weigh 160
Day 1: IM DEAD AND MY HEAD HURTS. (But I’m sensitive to pressure) but DID 100 SQUATS✅
Day 2: MY LEGS ARE SORE. ARE YALL TRYING TO KILL ME���� (i can’t walk) but guess who did another ��✅
BUT DAMN THAT HURT.
Day 3: my legs hurt so bad that I can’t sit down…so today I’m taking a break and working on my chin and flab on my arms
(Please take a day off)
Day 4: I’ve gotten less sore so I think that tmrw I’ll continue working hard
Day 5: I haven’t done it
Day 6: u know what I’ll do it…….I didn’t do it
Day 7: I have found an alternative and I’m gonna do little by little…I couldn’t do it and I failed…BUT I am still working out on other body parts and I will update in May and we’ll see what happens
This video is only for those who use Western toilet.
Because Indian toilet has been provided with Squatting exercise naturally.
I can’t stand position of Alans when he’s squating. But that’s only me, seems it works for him.
hi. stumbled across ur tutorial and found it helpful. but I noticed it does not have any captions for the video. I’m sure that those who are hard or hearing or deaf would benefit from this video as well so I’m not sure how captions work on ur end, but just a thought for future videos.
I stumbled on this looking for squats in general with and without weight, started doing them a couple weeks ago. Wondering about breathing so you are saying breath in on the way down and out on the way up? I was confused with a video I saw on basic Hindu squats that said breath out on the way down and in on the way up-that’s with no weight. What do you suggest? Also why is the smith machine at pf slanted? Thanks! Great video
I squat balls deep like Candito and it leads to my pause at the bottom completely disengaging my muscles. I am very comfortable with a loaded bar on my back in the hole position… but does this negate the whole purpose of a pause squat? Please let me know bros:)
This keeps me motivated during the lockdown in Spain. This is the 5th day in a row I do this exercise. We are not allowed to go outside, so I started something I wanted to do a long time ago: work on my body. I follow a fitness class every morning via FB and do these squats in the evening. Maybe I will put a before and after on my Insta. I have no idea when we are allowed to go outside again, but I can’t wait!
Stay safe and healthy everyone ♡
Many thanks for the video!:)
Maybe one tip: You can additionally vary all (or almost all) these exercises by using the “sumo”-method of them. Which means you have to spread your legs wider!:)
By the way, what about the “good mornings”-exercise? 😉 I’m sure you know it, too!:) But you’re arguably right, it’s certainly an interesting exercise, too, but arguably not the best one. So indeed not in the top 10 here.:) But always interesting and good for variation, though.:)
Are you going to be making an overview of the theory of assistance/variations in general video?
What about the goblin squat? It’s like the goblet squat, but you need to keep laughing with a high pitch voice.
