Need to do a better job getting in a neutral position at the start - Big S curve in your lower back.
Two more things - you need to do a better job at pushing your upper back into the bar to avoid too much forward leaning. If that doesn't work then you need to work on improving your leg strength. There's not a big difference between your squat and deadlift max 485 vs 495 so I think it's more of a tech issue.

I don't mean this rude, but I have zero clue who you are and will probably not take your advice. You have 48 posts over 12 years. I have been squatting for 8 and am just resetting at the moment after a rather bad fall for me lifting-wise. Form and strength will improve my dude

I have no clue who you are either but your form is ****ty and no matter what the excuses are it shouldn't look that way. If you can't do it right - decrease the weight. I been training since the 5th grade played sports at all levels and trained college and professional athletes as a professional strength and conditioning coach. As a 585lbs raw high bar squatter and 10.57 100m sprinter when I was in my late 20's I'm more then qualified to judge your subpar squatting form.

Anyway
I'm eating around 2500 calories a day. Getting anywhere between 180-220 grams of protein and 170-180 grams of fat. The goal currently is to eat under 30 grams of net carbs/day.
It has made my legs feel a bit dead with these squats, but I expect my body to adjust by the end of next week.S/B/D: 485/305/500 lbs

Still slow. Don't feel like I'm going to fail any rep, but just no explosiveness.. may have to do something about that with some singles or doubles

Skipped. Upper back felt completely torn up. Got to 275 and just decided it was a bad idea to go forward with it

Notes:
pre-workout: 250 mg caffeine
Weight: 205.6 (more on this)
So I have multiple theories on why my weight is currently trending in the wrong direction despite the calorie deficit. Read it if you want.
1. My sodium has been sky high the past 2-3 days. Probably has the most to do with it.
2. I started this cut on keto two days after getting over the stomach virus. Pre-stomach virus, I had been around 212-214. Post-stomach virus, I was 205.5. It has been a solid two weeks since and I just think my water weight is still adjusting.
3. My body is likely starting to convert more protein into carbs and storing them temporarily as glycogen in my muscles (due to increased frequency of workouts). This in turn draws in more water. My waist and stomach are continuing to get smaller.
Probably a combination of those 3 things if not a combination of a 4th or 5th thing as well..

So I decided to sleep in for Snowmagedon 2019 instead of getting up and driving to the gym on ice in the dark... yeah well, the snowpocalypse did not occur so I just got an extra two hours of sleep..
Not sure if I am doing recovery in the morning or just gonna wait till Saturday to reset and start the program out clean.. That's probably what I'll do.. This week has been weird and stressful already...S/B/D: 485/305/500 lbs

A lot of new stuff. Got side tracked. Training actually started back yesterday.. Trying to decide today which direction I'm going. I could do a very light few weeks of TM, but I think that may be too slow... We will see how sore I am in the morning lol
You going to start logging again or just stopping by??? I keep up with you on instagram when the weird algorithm gets around to you lolS/B/D: 485/305/500 lbs

I'm kind of spamming my own journal right now but whatever.
I want to get some equipment for my carport. I have a storage room where it can stay when not in use. I was just thinking a bench, pull up bar and some affordable adjustable DBs that go up to about 90.. Down the road, I'd love a deadlift bar with some bumper plates but that's likely a long way off..
I want to get it to where I only squat/bench at the gym. My current house doesn't make it feasible for a true home gym year around. The weather gets too extreme here one way or another and the carport gets so humid that the flooring gets pretty wet during the winter.. that and my wife wouldn't appreciate a massive power rack where she normally parks lol
Just thinking about the future. Want to get away from using public gyms as much as possible..S/B/D: 485/305/500 lbs

Not sure if I'll start logging again. Most of the guys I hung out with here are all gone now
I'll start by lurking a bit lol
Still post videos time to time on IG as you know.
Sounds like a plan.
We have a two-car garage but my wife would never let me use even half of it for a home gym## chillin at home crew

Well, I'm going to try to make it more of a habit again as far as posting.. Not sure about making videos like I used to.. Instagram will probably be enough for that outside of PR's
My wife would be thrilled if we had enough space for a home gym because I'd be here more. She would not be thrilled with the costS/B/D: 485/305/500 lbs
