2 ply squat training. knees still too far forward.

[rwsmith3623]

still think im having trouble with my knees, as hard as i try to push them out they still seem to come to far forward when i start to get close to the hole. the only solution i can think of would be to widen my stance and point my toes out farther. thoughts?

squat with a slingshot between your knees to make you push them out more

then when you do it without the slingshot you'll be a pro

Thoughts?

Squat suits lift the weight for you.

I understand that you're forcing your knees out but are you really focusing on sitting the weight back and holding the weight on your heels and outside of your feet? next squat session try to spread the floor as well as breaking at the hips and forcing your ass back.

awesome.

Get a better arch and really push your hips back before you start the decent. You're pretty much just going straight down. If you push the hips back, your knees will stay in line.

seems like i have trouble keeping my back straight squatting hi bar when i get a huge arch.

not true. i have proof. i threw a squat suit inside my squat rack the other day and it just sat there and did nothing. i found that you have to put it on and squat with it for it to really work.

your knee drift didn't look that bad to me.

You do any box squats? Spreading the floor down to a box is a good way to stay a bit more perpendicular.

both comments are rude and not helpful

-- as said before-- you aren't really sitting all that far back into your suit- doing so will help to load the suit and prevent your knees from shooting in at the bottom. Also, make a conscience effort to flare and sit back the entire time-- it doesn't look like you have anyone there helping you-- coaches/teammates being there and pointing out what is wrong has always helped me.

Not sure how the Slingshot comment was rude/unhelpful? Same as the common recommendation of using a band around the knees.

i do box squats pretty frequently, probably just as much as i do regular/geared squats.

my knees dont really shoot inwards, the main problem im having is them shooting forward over the toes when i get towards the bottom of my squat. i dont really have anyone here to train with consistantly, i've got a guy here who competes raw and puts up good numbers, 1700 lbs, but he's been gone alot recently gearing up for deployment. everyone else here trains bb style.

Squat with a MARK BELL SLINGSHOT(TM) between your knees so that you can MARK BELL SLINGSHOT(TM) while you MARK BELL SLINGSHOT(TM).
