0:01 cool all right try now good so do three reps where you're just going to barely touching that ah you see how your feet spread out M good let that happen like actually even open them up a little bit wider if it feels good good we're practicing Sumo cuz even though your feet are wide mhm you also want to keep your knees spread wide too all right good me and my son we doing sumo squats that's what we're doing today doing a lot of experimenting with sumo and finding that a lot of people benefit from doing it rather than narrow so I'm going to do that too yo um so squat day following 531 parameters and we're doing some warmup reps and he and I are both going to be working from the same racks we'll be taking stuff on and off so it's going to be one of those days with a father and son who's just squatting cool take your glasses off ni put them down over there all right so I got a warm up too think about what you want to put on

1:18 there for your first warm up set I'm going to decide if I want to wear shoes I'm not sure yet but you keep going and I'll help you I'm actually going to put these on so I'm going to go Sumo but elevated with with my heels I have Achilles injuries to my achilles tendon and my flexibility is not only off but super imbalance this makes me feel a little bit better but maybe I can outgrow these by going barefoot in Sumo Sumo Barefoot I think that might be a good goal but I'm going to wear these today cuz they just feel good we'll see all right Sun boy

2:07 Bo knees wide and keep sprinting them when they feel good good nice awesome yep let's see what's going on back here good nice just hit a lot of my obsession with sumo came from the Revelation that I feel really great when I do round back deadlifts round back deadlifts my straw man Coach Andrew point this pointed this out to me last year when I was getting stronger for a strong man show and since then I've been experimenting with different ways to keep my my back flat around my back especially my low back which is hyperlordotic I stick my ass out a lot right I have you know tight hip flexors in quads weak glutes in relation so always hinging at the hip hinging at the hip sticking the butt out has caused me lots of pain and a lot of tension a lot of problems and it's only gotten worse with lower leg injuries but I'm also noticing it in other people too like my son and my wife who aren't built

3:29 like me but they've been taught to hinge stick the butt out or just feels more natural but when I talk about Sumo in terms of the squat it's about putting your foot placement so that you can actually maintain a flatter lower back I might be crazy but it feels pretty good you saw it with my wife and Ben and I are going to practice so what do I mean by this I'm just going to demonstrate and mind you I'm healing all like I'm making excuses for my already but like I'm trying to figure out how to squat the most effectively all over again right now too so if I look like a baby you know like Bambi trying to walk on ice like you know I'm trying to figure out my way too right so you know we're healing you me and you all right so here here's where we're going to go oh that's kind of low good so I think a low bar squat is good I prob probably lower it a little bit more I think that might be helpful

4:32 keep it over my base of gravity my base my center of gravity good at the top I could squeeze my glutes good at the top I can bend my knees and keep my butt under me keep my hips under me see what I'm doing I'm spreading my knees boom and come out from here you guys follow me did you see that b mhm cool this is what I'm doing so my back kind of stays flat almost like a [ __ ] squat but PA Sumo chest up boom I'm using a lot of hamstrings using a lot of gluten I'm using a lot of core but it's it's difficult it's weird

5:38 let's move this up one what are you doing for the with these how many wraps five five cool so you warm up cool yeah good I really like that wide knee yeah yep looking good yeah on your way up keep pushing the knees

6:17 out doing it sumo that's like how our power lifter does it they Edge back knees are wide and then it's like a good morning actually feels really good this thing gets hot in the sun too be careful yeah looks pretty good I like the way that looks buddy could pause just for half a second longer at the bottom boom yeah own the power on the way up Tuck the chin yep boom nice mhm cool what do you got to do next I got to go on to the working SS so what is that 129 mhm do you think 135 would be a good jump for you how would you feel with that for a three yeah I think I do that yeah let's go 135 and then that could be my

8:21 first messy grip for right here cheering you oning your form good nice I like it try to stay balanced up top good keep pushing those knees out good so I have a question yeah that was your first working set yeah why'd you do five pay attention s we're doing threes buddy cinematic footage of me doing these squats

10:35 so I'm still in my warm-ups I should be doing fives but I'm going to do threes I'm doing threes of everything from here on out good I got my mouthpiece no belt no belt no belt just yet warm up sets so and so far I'm feeling okay right but I'm going to use one

11:11 soon taking a wide grip in my hands o how deep am I getting do I look like I'm getting below parallel yeah sinking my butt I have video footage mhm make sure I am that feels good I think that's a powerlifting squat wide base tipping forward but your pelvis stay under you right under your rib cage engaging the core I'm using a lot of abdominals eventually it'll be a limiting factor that's what I'll bring in the belt warm up feel good Sumo

12:52 Sumo all right buddy the best angle to get you bring it out here a little bit yeah good you own first good so the knees yeah hips underneath you boom on it at the bottom come up there you go good one more like that

13:34 good yeah you might well be breathing how you doing buddy you should be watching me pay attention opening my head see o and I did three about all right you still got one more don't you yeah all right

15:29 you're doing great hey this is actually your last set isn't it is your actually your last set isn't it so it's three plus the best that you can to keep your form I'll let you know good yeah it good keep pushing those knes out good control it at the bottom control it at the top slow it down a little bit M good racket nice hey you know what I can't spot you cuz I'm in front of you yeah so if you ever can't get out yeah just sink right back put your butt on the ground this is going to catch the thing you see what I'm saying you'll just fall on your butt and it might WP your head but it's going to crash here that's why we have this cool hey nice job nice go write that down so I'm going to keep doing my working sets M all right I'm going to keep living uh lifting to I get heavier till it gets heavier to the heaviest my challenge set and Benjamin is going to be training back there he thinks I'm

17:14 talking to him but I'm really talking to the camera yeah I'm just going to leave it right there should be good enough once I need help from you a for and then a 10 all right this is a challenge these are challenging Reps for me I really haven't squatted very much at all past two years trying to build it back up grow stronger so let see what's up with a new form Al together new strategy for listing these heavy ass weights let me plus

20:05 sh should I try to go a little deeper with each set just a little bit deeper with each uh rep a little bit de deeper with each rep get a little bit softer with each one relax into it a little better I'm feeling itoo it's not my final set I got one more and the sun is coming in and I to do this [ __ ] bakon bacing in the sun waking and bacon so we got to go to one more set H weight higher and do what I can

21:40 on all right so how many you got left okay you want to leave it 33 you did one out of five what if you did two more say 10 two more got it and then you go do whatever you got all right sure what are you doing he should tell you he's the one that spoke to you go tell her what to De is you guys work it out if that works then do it if not we figure it out all right it's going to be you and me Remy and Rita yeah Rita she just there okay Emerson Emerson Emerson turn off the engine it's making noise for my video thanks kid love you okay good job buddy

27:12 so I've been meaning to add more rotational movements to my programs like wood chops and things of that sort so I think this will be a good time to do that uh that's perfect with the kind of exercise we did with squats right wide base but now we're doing a frontal shift and uh transverse chop boom and these really feel very good and they develop some Primal patterns um cross crawl patterns in the body so I should do them and I think I'm going to do them Barefoot over here oh

28:28 sh me Remy puts no is m well I got an appointment in 10 minutes so I guess that means I'm done
