depth looked pretty close. it's right around parallel. I paused the vid. Could probably go either way depending on judges.

Workout looks pretty brutal. you're gonna be feeling those SLDLs

At least you're saying that...the last couple sessions they have all been high.

It was a long and brutal one last night. Let's see I'm lifting 4 X per week and this was my first workout on Week 8 with wade so that makes it....

By my observation, you are still coming simply rising at the hips out of the hole. If it were me, I would make my cue/focus driving through the glutes/hips rather than not leaning. Perhaps some glute activation work prior to squatting would help. It just looks to me that the muscles are not firing properly to have the proper bar/body path.

I'll look into that....thanks

[Raigs]

One heck of a session squats are better than no squats.

Me three

Dat ass is fine the way it is

[mmorton]

Have you switched to more of a high bar position? Maybe you said in btw all the misc I can't remember

Thanks man...This is only my 8th session since I changed my stance so I think I just need more time under the bar to try and undo all the bad habits I formed over the past couple of years.

ha ha ha ha


If the Ham god says it...it's the troof!!!!

Yes I have....Wade suggested it. I guessing because lower bar placement will just make me lean that much more.

[mmorton]

I thought so. Working on being more upright and stabilizing your core whilst keeping your chest up will help. Otherwise basic physics comes into play and you will lean forward

6' 6" people were not built to squat...but I'm probably not shrinking any time soon so I just gotta roll with it. I feel like once I come out of the hole I just deflate like a balloon.

Was just gonna post this. Agree completely.

I think I'm just kinda maintaining here for a bit. I plan on competing as a 275 in April so I could get up to 285ish and cut water pretty easy. I have 4 notches left on my lever belt so I've got plenty of room to grow

[liftingson]

depth looked pretty good. forward lean feels natural to me..just keep your chest poked out maybe that will help.

[mmorton]

yall boys going to pull out a win tonight? i dont think hackman is coaching.

We're going to get spanked like a 6 year old in 1960 that dared to talk in church.



On a side note my boy's 7-9 year old team has their first practice tonight. I will be coaching....I'm wearing my Ogre Wear shirt the first night to set the tone!!!!
