Gym autism genereal

>>35910375
one time these two girls were using the squat rack backwards and i went up to them and told them it's safer to do it the other way around and the alpha-girl of the group looked at me like a rapist and said "thanks" and just stared me down until i left

>>35910375
if you know it's such a great exercise, pass along some advice to him next time instead

>>35910423
What are the bullet-proof arguments for deep squating except "I read it on the internet"?

>>35910459
that if you're not squatting all the way down you're not fully activating the muscle & it's actually worse for the joints than going all the way down

>>35910459
say it works out your legs more, its healthier for your spine

>>35910459
The position half the world shits in?

Also, the correct argument against unwanted and wrong advice goes something like this: "Leave me the fuck alone".

>at gym
>doing ass to grass
>manlet walks over to me and starts making noises with his mouth
>remove earplugs
>ambient noise from gym suddenly piercing my skull
>manlet's face is screaming
>"Yo! These low squats are bad for your knees! You should stop in 90° position!"
>drop weights they crash and I begin screaming and punching myself in the face
>can't find my helmet
>everything is too loud
>manlet still yelling in my face
>wind blowing in grass outside feels like daggers on my skin
>on floor curled up punching myself
>manager and some curlbros sprint over and try to restrain me
>get banned from gym for the eighth time this week
>tfw lifting can't cure autism

dude what

this entire thing is just what?

why was he recording you? why did you flip out? are you bipolar?

>>35910572

He recognized me and was probably just getting a video for his friends to prove that he saw me. I'm not even that well known and in hindsight I should have just been honored that he was a fan in the first place. I did end up apologizing later and giving him a free permanent subscription to my Twitch channel.

So you think you're famous? That's why you flipped out?

You sound like a weirdo with no self awareness. That's probably why he was filming you.

>>35910620
Another confirmation that anyone streaming on twitch is in fact autistic

>>35910650

As I just said, I'm not that well known in the grand scheme of things. I just have a weird social anxiety issues. I'm usually a lot better.

>>35910679

100% true.

>>35910706

No, you're not well known at all. He was filming you because you were acting strange.

>>35910731

He admitted to recognizing me and let me in for free. I wasn't acting strange before I took the phone. Though I don't see how you are in a position to tell me how well known I am. I have over 3,000 people paying $5 a month to support what I do (won't say how much of that I see). What do you have?

>>35910802
god twitch streamers are the fucking worst just piss off

Yes, 20+ years of going atg at powerlifting weights is bad for your knees.

For leftover 90% of humans that squat, atg is perfectly fine. In fact, it is preferred.

Still isn't 20+ years of professional lifting.

I never gave you any advice, let alone forced you to take it. I only stated that I disagree with your conclusion that atg squats are more harmful than parallel based on my experience. You have no experience on which to base your conclusion, just anecdotal evidence from a small subset of lifters.

>>35911324
Alternating between them is preferred.
ATG is only preferred because it activates the muscles more.
Parallel squats will cause you to squat safer by preferring to place less stress on the knees and spinal joints in the long term

>>35911421
The lower you go the safer it is though since as you said it activates more.

>>35911397
You claimed that atg is better than paralell, i call that (unwanted) advice.
And who said that i don't have any experience to base my findings on?
You should've asked if i ever experienced problems with it before you started making baseless assumptions.

And how do you think those lifters came to those conclusions?
You can go below paralell, but you don't have to go atg (unless you train for the snatch, but we're discussing squats atm).

You were a footballplayer, you trained for explosivieness, so it'd make sense (keyword) for you (another keyword) to go atg, but it doesn't make it a necessity for a powerlifter or a bodybuilder.

Stating that i disagreed with you is not the same as giving you advice. I don't believe you have adequate personal experience to support your claim because if you did, you would have stated that as the basis for your argument. The personal experience of qualified individuals is always more relevant than secondhand sources. Additionally, if you had relevant personal experience then you would have shared it. Instead, you have only implied that you do. You could have shared this with us at any time without being asked, as it would have supported your position.

Atg is bad for your knees when working at high weight for an extended period of time, which makes senae in the realm of powerlifting. Also, it is bad when not utilizing proper form or when dealing with prexisting injuriesn. In these respects we are in agreement. For the remaining majority of those who make squatting a primary part of their program, atg has shown to be more beneficial than just parallel.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>35910459

Squatting past parallel usually does more harm than good. MOST (not all) people don't have the mobility to maintain a neutral spine past parallel. Almost none of the articles you'll read anywhere talks about that.

>>35911818

So it's not going past parallel that causes problems, it's poor form?

>>35911818
this guy knows whats up

>>35911077
>https://www.t-nation.com/training/7-reasons-to-squat-like-a-man

This is the only one of those that gives ANY mention to the fact that squatting deeper will lead to messing up your form for most people.

>>35911826
For most people depth correlates to poor form. The more you focus on depth as the only thing of equal importance to weight, the more you forget about proper form.

IF you can keep a neutral spine, start scraping your balls on the floor - go deep. You should never sacrifice form for depth though. Almost every "atg" squatter out there has ridiculous buttwink because they think depth + weight == good squat.

I'd always ALWAYS rather see some squatting 95lbs going less than parallel because they know that's what they can do with their current mobility.

>>35910375
"I don't take advice from people smaller than me"

>>35911766
1. Like i said, i have advices from professional powerlifters and i didn't received said advice for no reason, i'm just not the type that goes around talking about his own achiements on a Japanese origami website, because the achievements don't matter when the content is solid and what i said was solid, mr pro.
So there's no need to do so, i at least could care less.

2. I'm always assuming that we're dealing with guys who intend to work for years and with heavy weights.
And, if i'm not mistaken, the knees of athletes tend to wear down faster than other group and that should say something.

>>35911895

Absolutely spot on, brah.

I'd say that 80% of all incoming freshmen athletes for the school i work for need to be retrained in squat form at a lower weight. Even when they get a handle on it, a lot revert to poor form when they're going for PRs later

>>35911938


>assumptions, ad hominem, and anecdotal evidence.

Get with the program, buddy. You made a blanket statement that atg squats are more harmful than parallel, but you refuse to back it up with anything substantial. Another guy comes along, says he disagrees, gives personal qualifications as to why he says so, and all you do us try to discredit him wirh personal attacks.

You can't back up anything you said. Hit the showers, kid. The grown upsa are talking niw

>>35912047
Ad hominem is the stuff you were trying to pull buddy, don't try to turn the mirror into a looking glass.

Your qualifications don't mean that you're automatically right everytime you open your mouth about something that falls in your " field of expertise".
We have millions of people working in sports and education and less than 75% agrees with eachother over 80% of the time.

You're not really good in this argumentation business aren't you?
Because arguments work, credentials not so much, but you probably knew that already.

you made this stuff personall by saying that you must be right, because of your job, again, would've been better if you instead said th reasons as to why you think so, but i'm not lecturing.

>>35912139
I'm not the guy you've been arguing with.

ad hominem: (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

Exactly what you were doing every time. It's what you are trying to do right now, along with a healthy dose of projection.

>Your qualifications don't mean that you're automatically right everytime you open your mouth about something that falls in your " field of expertise"

I don't think anyone would honestly assume he's automatically right, but he makes a better argument than you do.

Funny you're the first one to ask

"Yes, it's true that the lifter won't be capable of handling as much weight during ATG squats. However, this is a byproduct of decreased motor unit recruitment and reduced muscle activation necessary for achieving such a collapsed position. As a result, the lifter is punished with compromised contraction strength and reduced force-producing capabilities.

https://www.t-nation.com/training/real-science-of-squat-depth

So there's that.
I can find more articles, but even the other guy said that not going ATG when doing squatting often and heavy is more beneficial in the long run, so there's no need for it.

>With the same load configuration as in the deep squat, half and quarter squat training with comparatively supra-maximal loads will favour degenerative changes in the knee joints and spinal joints in the long term. Provided that technique is learned accurately under expert supervision and with progressive training loads, the deep squat presents an effective training exercise for protection against injuries and strengthening of the lower extremity. Contrary to commonly voiced concern, deep squats do not contribute increased risk of injury to passive tissues

I've read it.
However, this article is about deep squats.
ATG is a extreme form of a deep squat.

And it said this:
" A search of relevant scientific publications was conducted between March 2011 and January 2013 using PubMed. Over 164 articles were included in the review. There are no realistic estimations of knee-joint forces for knee-flexion angles beyond 50° in the deep squat. Based on biomechanical calculations and measurements of cadaver knee joints, the highest retropatellar compressive forces and stresses can be seen at 90°"

>>35911397
I think you're replying to someone with autsim

This thread is so horrible that it has blurred the lines to transcend b8 broscience and reality. But no one understands why atg has become famous.

First, atg became big because everyone got tired of 1/4 squatting assholes e-statting. If someone who half reps their shit is told to go atg most of the time they will only hit depth.

The 2nd important thing, despite what people say, not everyone can hit atg without hideous buttwink. This isn't always flexibility issue, some peoples hip sockets simply don't allow it.

Third, the 'muh quads' argument. Yes, your quads are maxed out around parallel. If you hit propper depth you will hit your quads more. But does atg=more quads? Slightly yes, but not an appreciable difference. If you watch klokov, our favorite sexy russian do his atg high bar, watch his hips out of the bottom. What do they do? They rise and shoot back. This is not working his quads hard to do. Same way a good morning squat happens when your quads aren't able to lift the weight.

Atg elitist retards who don't understand shit are annoying. Atg has its place but is not superior to a good depth squat.

>it took tremendous autism to write this. So I'm still on topic

>>35910459
I use big words and say them quickly, this makes people think I know what I'm talking about, and leave me alone simultaneously. "Actually, you increase femoropatellar and patellotibial shearing forces by stopping at 90°. If you go below parallel and heavily activate your glutes and hamstrings, the concentric motion helps drastically reduce the strain on your knees and back". This has actually cured some people of half squatting at my gym.

This is the kind of autism I can get behind. Thanks for looking at the big picture, brah.

>This isn't always flexibility issue, some peoples hip sockets simply don't allow it.

Too many people take proper form for granted. Not all body types are built for proper ATG. Additionally, teaching proper form and improving flexibility can be a monumental task for a lot of people. It's especially difficult when trying to correct some deeply ingrained bad form. IT's a feat just to get someone like this to perform a good deep squat, let alone ATG

I'll usually give facts about Sheering force on knees due to centre of gravity then, even though it's kinds brief, tell the person to touch their ankle to ass by bending knee, did it hurt? No, because that's full range of motion and is perfectly fine to squat all the way to there providing you have the mobility but anything past 90 is fine

Stuart McGill goes over this shit. Recommend to anyone. Your hip socket plays the biggest role, like I can squar fairly below parallel as a 6'8 dude and find it comfier squatting narrower considering my height and long femurs. Someone who's a lot shorter could squat a lot wider depending on their anatomy.

>>35910997
Weight lifting in general is going to be harsh on your joints.
It is the price we pay for glootz.

>atg vs. parallel

Oh great, this shit again.

Studies have shown that atg squats are no more harmful than parallel squats.

>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23821469


The truth is that all squatting will have a negative impact on knee, ankle, and/or hip joints over time. It cannot be prevented, only delayed

>>35918352

What does EMG and shear mean?

Not native english speaker by the way

life has negative impact on knee, ankle, and hip joints.

do squatters experience lower joint problems sooner than non-athletes?

That's all I really care about.

>>35923427

Yes, because it's added stress.

>>35923387

EMG = electromyography

this is a method to measure the amount of force produced by a muscle.

something has shear when two forces are pushing the object in opposite directions, like paper being cut by scissors.

>>35923427

>does stressful, continued use of a specific joint or series of joint lead to an earlier onset of problems as opposed to normal use?


It's an enigma. We may never know.

>>35923427
I imagine that genetics and form play a pretty good part in it, but someone who reguarly lifts heavy isn't going to have great joints as they get older.
But when you get older, everything starts to suck anyway. Your body starts decaying and then you die, why not enjoy a great pair of gloots while you can?

>>35923501

So, bascially I need to be below paralell to avoid any and all shear?

>>35923451
Well, there are proven studies that show that excersie helps bone and joint function but I'm not sure it that considers lifting really heavy.

I don't think there is enough evidence at this time to show if heavy lifting will have a large impact later in life

>>35923451
>>35923505
>we may never know
do you feel good being clever

passive tissues/structures experience growth and adaptation, too. not just muscles.

Is there a sweet spot in the frequency and duration of squatting/athletics that is beneficial to joints over inactivity?

Light/hypertrophy days and heavy/strength days as opposed to training heavy the majority of training days?

I hate faggots like you. There is no reason you need 5 min rest unless you are lifting at an Olympic level. Youre fucking lazy and hogging the equipment.

I'm surprised I didn't get btfo for that...

As for the fix of good morning squats, the anon was right about leg strength. When you squat a weight beyond your 'technical' max it will turn into a good morning.

If you want a way to fight a good morning from happening, you can either try to drive your hips under the bar or try to push your traps into the bar from the beginning. Whichever you find works. If neither work, lower the weight for the sake of your back. A good morning squat tends to be unsafe.

If you were local I'd gladly get you a guest pass and help as needed. I'm not a coach and I'm not perfect myself. But I have taught enough people to know how to get you on the right path.

>>35927822

You dont rest 5 minutes between sets unless you tax the entire body by lifting at a pro level you being insanely weak have no business resting that long and you hog the equipment
