Widely regarded as one of the greatest posers in?bodybuilding?history, Kai Greene remains a favorite among fans. While the bodybuilding icon hasn’t competed since 2016, he continues to train regularly and maintains a massive, muscular physique. In his latest TikTok video, the uncrowned Mr. Oympia showed his signature squat variation called the Jefferson Squat. The unique squat variation looks nothing like a traditional one, and Greene has mastered it.

Besides showing himself doing the squats, the three-time Arnold Classic champion also wrote a bunch of pointers in the comments. Fans of the bodybuilding icon appreciated both his physique and the tips. However, some fans also made another demand.

Kai Greene urged his fans to try the Jefferson Squat

While it is called the Jefferson squat, the movement is more similar to a deadlift than a squat. However, unlike the deadlift,?the lifter in the TikTok video steps over the barbell, putting it between his legs. In the video, Greene grabbed the barbell slightly wider than shoulder width. He then stood upright with the weight, much like a deadlift. However, instead of resting the weight on the ground, Greene did reps.

“Save This & Tag A Friend To Try,”?Kai Greene wrote in the caption of his post.?”Rather than just dropping down and blasting up, try and feel every inch being moved slowly,”?added the Mr. Olympia runner-up.?Emphasizing the mind-muscle connection, Greene told others to focus on the movement instead of trying to lift heavy weights.

The?“amount of weight, no matter how large or trivial it may seem, will feel heavier than what the bar itself reveals”?if one can form the mind-muscle connection with the Jefferson Squat, said Greene. Fans appreciated the tips and praised Greene in the comments.
