Ive been trying to lift in more of a powerlifting style for the last couple of weeks. Been watching lots of vids and trying to get the hang of the form. Today i tried squatting with the bar lower on my back for the first time which was f*ckin painful and awkward lol, felt stronger though. I know i didnt go deep enough in this vid but i corrected that for the next set. Any other advise from you guys will be great.

Half squats of peace.
Can't judge technique for high squats. Take another video
Theres factors other than depth isnt there?

Hitting actual depth changes everything. You can start by breaking at your hips first, instead of your knees.

Don't take so many steps to setup.

Cheers, more constructive than your first post, ill do that next time.
[QUOTE=lancs_hotpot;1013524183]Theres factors other than depth isnt there?[/QUOTE]But all of those factors will change when you squat to depth therefor any advice we give you now is useless
Its like giving sprinting advice based on video of someone jogging
Fair enough. I tried the bar lower across my traps and rear delts, it was really hard and i felt i had to lean forward a bit to keep the bar from slipping off. Any advice regarding that?
You can always tell it's too much weight when the person holding it is shaking and looks like they're legs are going to collapse at any moment.
sit back into the squat. Try to keep your knees as stationary as possible. It's ok if they move forward a little bit.

Not true at all. Some people are super shaky with any weight. You must not be familiar with LIME and his videos.

Its not too heavy. I added weight the next set and went much deeper after seeing the vid. After all the powerlifting vids ive seen theres a lot to think about trying to change my form from my usual squats. It may look a bit shaky because i had the bar a lot lower than i usually do which felt very wierd. I can assure you my legs were in no danger of collapsing. Thanks for the advice though.
It was probably just the chitty music then. I couldn't squat listening to that crap either.
who is lime?

What's that world record squatter doing trying to set the world record with those shaky legs?! You can obviously tell it's too much weight for his world record legs and shouldn't be attempting that world record.
