Notes:
- Your elbows are flared back. Really focus on keeping them directly under the bar. This forces the upper back to be more engaged and also allow you to be more upright.
- Tighten that upper back more after you unrack. Before going down into the squat, keep that upper back tension. By doing so, you'll be forced to consciously engage the abdominals as well. Once again, this will keep you more upright.
- Start practicing hole sits with no weight or just the bar. Get down in there and get comfortable in a position that is ATG. Understand the feel of that and train every rep to that point. Yeah, you'll have to lower the weight on the bar at first, but after a few weeks, you'll be back at training weight AND you'll be sitting with your hams on calves.
The best thing for training depth and learning to keep a completely vertical torso with no forward lean for me was front squats. Focusing on weight back, bar over heels for entirety of bar path, and consciously keeping an upright torso. Now, I have very little differential between front and back squats. The motion has become identical.
As for depth, start hitting some mobility work. Lying swan, pigeon pose, and building overall external rotation of the hips should be a key focus."The code of Bushido is harsh and relentless."

That goal is true and something that I intend on sticking to. At the same time though, this depth does not feel natural to be so working on my mobility, depth, etc will just help me fire the right muscles and get used to parallel and lower...i need to stop wearing sweat pants as well...can always get a better view of angle with shorts VS sweat pants

I agree that you won't need to squat to that depth in a meet. BUT, if you're training only to what COULD pass, how is this beneficial long term? Building overall mobility and unquestionable depth, would be my focus if I was a PL.
But, I'm not a PL AND I think Low Bar is a joke...but that's just me. If I cut my ROM by 30-40%, how much more weight do you think I could sling?
Keep grinding, Alex. I like that your focus is on building your overall mobility. Nothing but positive can come of it"The code of Bushido is harsh and relentless."

to some extent (and it depends on the person) cutting depth is harder because you take out the rebound effect and have to consciously stop the descent

Exactly! I want to be able to hit complete ATG depth with proper form so come my meet, there's never a question of if depth was hit. Low bar a joke? How so? I feel bar placement to be completely individualized given different body/bone structure. Thanks a lot man! Truly enjoying it all!
LMAO!!!!!!! You know you have my love bob
Great point patrick!
WTF IS UP WITH LOW BAR BEING A F#$KIN JOKE?!?!?!?!?!?
hahaha
Seriously though haha, why do you believe low bar is a joke? LOVE that analogy! This program has allowed me to attain BOTH of my goals (BB and PL) so it truly is goal and happiness focused...i would rather do a suboptimal program that i loved over an optimal program that i hated anyday...enjoyment must always be taken into accountadvertising not permitted
