An old thread I dug up because I'm having the same problem, but sitting back isn't always the problem.
It can be from falling forward a bit at the bottom, but when I re-tweaked mine it was from my...

An agressive strength program like starting strength followed by something like texas method.
Less emphasis on benching obviously.

I'd really study squatting techniques too.
There are so many,...

Wow I won't hate to much because your young, and impatient..
Have some patience.
You need to be on a cycle of steak, potatoes, fish, sandwiches and washed down with a gallon of whole milk every...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a guy with good leverages might get away with this (ie) Eric Lilibridge, who actually squats high bar with barely any forward tilt.
Most of us just don't have such...

Those are good squats IMO.
Hardly any forward lean. You seem to have good leverages for the squat.
You might try thumb-less grip with straight wrists if your wrists begin to hurt.
Otherwise just...

Another way to look at it:
Parallel= full squat
ATG= 2 inches lower.

Squats are vastly superior to overall body strength, and mass gains.
Leg press as the title suggests is a leg exercise only.

My local gym only has octagonal plates, and they are crap for deads, and cleans.
However if standard plates as tall or taller, then I could bring a set in to neutralize the walking effect of octo...

More milk....more eggs.....more steak.....you get the idea.

These are good squats. Buy squat shoes. They will fix some of back rounding problems you seem to think you have, and they are better than squatting barefoot anyway.

Squats are high bar, and not deep enough (sit back more).
Re-read the squat chapter.
Nothing wrong with high bar squats, but the false grip outlined in SS is meant for low bar positioning.

You need to get your form lined out before moving weight....any weight with the deadlift.
Watch some Starting strength videos on youtube, or buy the book.
I would not try any deadlifts until you...

Squats, bench, deadlifts, overhead press, pullups, powercleans, = all of the big lifts I was referring to.

If you do all of those, and eat a lot you will get bigger everywhere.
Most of your other...

If you do all of the big lifts, and eat accordingly you will get bigger everywhere.

That article is for guys who want to fit into their girlfriends purple skinny jeans.

Can you use a power rack like you would for squats?
Set the safety bars just below where the bar comes into contact with your chest.
Definitely set them higher than you neck though.

I prefer to...

Reverse curl.
You will need to add more weight, but your not catching the weight on your shoulders.
The bar should be on your delts at the end of the lift, elbows up, and not gripping the bar....

Have you learned to powerclean yet?
If so, you can front squat.

Notice the catch is on the shoulders^
If you can't catch the clean on the shoulders,...

I'll add that Kirk Karwoski also squatted similar to Rip's style.
Grip really has no bearing on the weight lifted as I have seen huge squats with elbows up, and down.
Rip's reasoning FWIR is there...
