 Member 1419, 2281 posts SQ 175, BP 105, DL 240520.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Please identify every little thing that is wrong about this squat. I'm trying to really improve my technique and am having some squat troubles. Thanks and trolling posts are welcome too. | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Do you have a hairless body or do you meticulously shave your legs? | ||

 Sugdens very own David Dimbleby Member 1403, 3716 posts SQ 220, BP 115, DL 260595.0 kgs @ 97kgs UnEq | Its hard to say from this angle but it looks like you are initiating the squat with a bend in the knees and hips (your knees are too far forward) when you should bend at the hips first (force them back) then sit down between your legs. But hey what do i know i don't lift equipped. (not a dig at you I genuinely don't know if technique is different eq or uneq) | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 15.02.2011 @ 10:42 AM by IainKendrick Rico said:Its hard to say from this angle but it looks like you are initiating the squat with a bend in the knees and hips (your knees are too far forward) when you should bend at the hips first (force them back) then sit down between your legs. ) This 9/10 is a very poor que for lifters. Probably even wores for an unequipped squatter. Don't worry about the knees moving foreward. Worry about other stuff (eg hips and back) and the knee movement will do whats right for the lifter. Looks good tech | ||

 My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | The hair, the glasses..... the silky smoothness of your legs..... The squat looks good but I'm about as far from an expert as they come.... One bit of advice from me would be to go a bit deeper though | ||

 Hill sprints are fun! Member 731, 3253 posts SQ 200, BP 127.5, DL 232.5560.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Not technique related, but you seem to bend your knees quite alot as you get under the bar before unracking it. How tight do you wrap your knees? | ||

 Obvious Juicer Member 1613, 1036 posts SQ 185, BP 140, DL 220545.0 kgs @ 66kgs UnEq | -pause at 0:30 you can see that your shins are not perpendicular to the floor and you are doing most of the work with your quads. -You dont seems to be arching your back at all, which makes the bar pull you forward making happen the point above. -You start the way down with a knee bend first. You should bend your hips first and knees after. How much weight was that? %70 is not the same as %90. Peace! | ||

My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | I was being serious Wayne... I'm not qualified to comment on PL stuff really but my theory is that if you extra deep in training... when the weights get heavier and the pressure is on, you will always make depth in comp | ||
