 his poor male ego must be crushed Member 883, 6251 posts SQ 290, BP 180, DL 420890.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | DrD said:Cheers the comments, racking like that as my face hits the a bar for the pulley attachment. Could do it facing outwards but don't like people walking closely in front when squatting. Never really thought about it or had any issues with it tbh. also there's a mirror I can see my left leg in so at least have some gauge for depth. although it may not be perfect. Often use a proper squat rack so can walk out backwards as you've suggested. Will try to other way next time and see how it goes,  Looking at the mirror to gauge your depth while squatting is a horrible idea! Just fact outwards. | ||

#IStandByMillsy Member 4287, 2614 posts SQ 300, BP 310, DL 250860.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq | Thanks for all the tips and guidance, pretty new to lifting for strength - so all gratefully received to get keep things going upwards. So we have: Core work for stability Paused deep squats Face outwards and concentrate on lift. Need to keep up the stretching and rollering to losen my hips up and keep my knees and back in close to working order (they're both a bit rubbish) Still about a 6-2 split in favour of it being claimable.  | ||

Some say if you have to ask then it ain't in Some say its a training lift and who cares Only you can decide. Cheers, I thought it was just in by the absolute skin of my teeth. I was interested to get some less-biased opinions I know I need to sort my hips and flexibility to get deeper | ||

 Does not need Advice, knows everything. Member 3505, 3510 posts SQ 295, BP 182.5, DL 290767.5 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | The squat looked good, although you're not really steady before shuffling backwards. I've never seen anyone unrack the bar like that, just face into the gym.. This will also stop you squatting in front of the mirror, if you ever do compete in squats there won't be a mirror there! | ||
