I totally noticed that, but since the goal was to find fault with your squat technique, I chose to overlook it.

Okay. Disclaimer** I am not supporting the clown dick or his position. His initial response to @bulldog9899 had nothing to do with what had actually been posted, and I’m not sure exactly how one would sit back into their hips. I mean, a stripper might sit back into someone’s hips but I don’t see how someone could do that to themselves.
I will say, that, and this is not specifically at you @j4gga2, it is regarding several comments that are clearly just attacking the troll. In all of those squats the lifters sit back. All of them. There may be some misunderstanding of what that means, but it would be impossible to maintain bar path over the ankles, or even mid-foot, without the hips hinging backwards. The OP is trying to squat straight down instead of letting the hips follow the natural path, which has to be back. I think some people have come to misunderstand what is meant by the “Sit back” cue. Those guys, including Eddie are sitting back. EC also does something he refers to as “Opening up the groin” when going into the hole. It’s not nearly as pornographic as it sounds, but also effective for that final bit of descent and more of a springloaded ascent.

I think allot of the confusion occurs when people talk about box squatting how dave coaches it… vs how others coach the squat.

Now in retrospect maybe I should have posted a different squat video, One where Im not using a buffalo bar and going ultra wide on grip. Along with not doing dynamic work with short rest period and focusing on bar acceleration exclusively… lol oh well.

Really appreciate your response man. I think I messed up my language a bit. When I was saying “sit back into their hips” I was trying to demonstrate that these lifters didn’t have huge delays between breaking at the hips and breaking at the knees. That’s my bad

How does that differ from what I said?
Brace the scapula to maintain thoracic integrity
you can squat that better by using more hips
two, you’re not on a straight bar
jeeez, there’s so much wrong with this
What part?
That there are 2 camps - you and everybody else?
The fact that at low bar if you hyper extend your hips the bar falls off?
Or that you bumbed a thread after 9 months to be a bell end?
The only “real” point of contention could be the low bar thing. So challenge to you. Load 135lb on the bar (I’d say heavier but can you?) - place it low bar and hyper extend your hips. Stick a video on here for me.
Do this and I PROMISE I’ll say sorry and mean it.

He’s gotta do it with more than 135. Most of the people in this thread he is arguing with can perform Lord of the Dance with 135 pounds on their back.

I’m under no illusion. This video is not coming. Guys like this have 0 experience.
Me - I’ve squatted low bar and accidentally hyper extended my hips trying to power through. I almost ripped both arms out of their sockets as the bar fell of the shelf.
I know what happens because I’ve done it.
I’m also an engineer so when someone says they are going to balance weight on the back of something and the lean that something right over back wards to a point where there is no vertical support - I instinctively know - gravity gonna get you there boy!

You said retract the scapula. Why would I on a squat? Maybe just enough to make the shelf, but I would still WANT to maintain a neutral spine.
And yeah, I’m not on a straight bar. I only squat with specialty bars because I have access to them and it’s preventative care for my shoulders. Also, how would I use “more” hips in that squat? I’m already almost leaning over
