Dave Tate's Train Your Ass Off Program takes the guys through a continued campaign of the squat technique. These guys would be classified as regular squatters but far from experts. Watch how Dave works with them on their breathing, body bracing, arch position, and grip technique to finely tune their squat for optimal performance. Ideally, with a precise squat technique, they will ultimately be able to see an increase in their squat weight and strength.

So you think you can deadlift? Tim thought he could, then we posted an absolutely disgusting video of him pulling 315 pounds on Instagram. It was so bad, in fact, that we had to get one of our top team members and inventor of 5thSet Swede Burns to come to our S5 Compound and fix Tim's deadlift. Watch how Swede implements just a few slight queues to the deadlift to make it look great! Add these to your deadlift and let us know how it works!
