Squat Rx Videos

Boris Bachmann · 07-01-2007, 11:45 PM

I'm making a series of squat instructional videos to help people trouble-shoot common errors and tips to improve their squat - I posted the first one in a couple of threads, but have since made more. Let me know what you think!

Nice, thanks. I'm going to direct these to a client. I do remember sort of doing good mornings out of a back squat in yesteryears when I would go heavy...well, I think I did.

A plethora of other interesting exercises too.

These were very helpful to me. Thank you.

I'm glad they had some useful info for you guys!

I made two more. Hopefully, you'll find them as helpful.

Very helpful stuff. I'll be trying some of your drills to increase my comfortable squat depth, which is just a little above parallel.

Thanks for the good videos - clearly shot, clear instructions, and straightfoward. I especially appreciate the lack of extra background noise and music.

Boris Bachmann · 07-17-2007, 10:46 PM

Thanks Peter.

I've made another video - this one is about supplemental exercises - probably not much that will be new to the CrossFit crowd, but I hope you like it.

Squat Rx #6: A Dozen Supplemental Exercises
12 exercises for knee, hip, lower back, and shoulder strengthening and stability are presented.

Nice, thanks, those are good. I think it's flexibility rather than strength of my hamstrings that is limiting me, but every little bit of knowledge I can accrue helps.

Peter Dell'Orto · 07-20-2007, 09:25 PM

Boris, I've also referred a self-described squat-hater to these videos on another forum. Hope you don't mind. After seeing Squat Rx #1 he seemed much more positive about squatting. Good stuff.

Boris Bachmann · 07-20-2007, 09:41 PM

Heck no! Thanks!

I've been keeping busy and made another:
