Buddha		Ongoing discussion about forward lean	09-12-2015 @ 23:52
Coached by deine Mutter Member 5887, 145 posts SQ 182, BP 115, DL 200 497.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq	I had a discussion about forward lean and my question is: are lifters with long legs and women damned to practice good mornings instead of skwats? He did say that Sheikos opinion is wrong and that it's impossible for most lifters to squat with a upright torso. His opinion is basically that they have to do good mornings. So i ask the hall of Sugden what is your opinion? (can't insert a picture)

as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11330 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190 502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 10.12.2015 @ 00:21 AM by Wiegieboard My opinion. It comes down to bone lengths and bodyweight distribution. Simple engineering really. If you want to squat more upright because you have s**t proportions, squat wider and do high bar. The longer the back and shorter the femur, the more upright the squat.

Member 5548, 415 posts SQ 270, BP 157.5, DL 310 737.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	I have very long femurs and short lower leg and find that the only way to keep upright is an almost high bar position, wideish stance with toes out and with knees tracking outward over feet.

So i ask the hall of Sugden what is your opinion? (can't insert a picture) all sorts of factors govern forward lean levers - femur length, tibia length and back length ratios. flexibility - ankles, hips, abductors (shape/angle of femoral head and hips affect whether you can ever get down with a very wide setup) i'm lucky to have decent squat levers (short femurs and long back) so can narrow stance, low bar and still be quite upright. but even a deadlifter build can still stand upright if he can get a lot of knee travel and/or take a wide stance.

no really Irish Member 1196, 5908 posts SQ 312, BP 230, DL 320 862.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq	Technique can be adjusted to maintain a "more" upright torso to allow better transfer from the legs to the bar. Not everyone can get a beautiful technique but everyone should be always striving to be more efficient. Just accepting that your not "built" for a lift and just whacking away with bad movement is lazy.

Drugs cheat Member 3860, 630 posts SQ 335, BP 210, DL 330 875.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Not really sure that anyone can answer this question correctly as there are so many answers and viarables depending on an individual It was once explained to me that the bar just needs to be as central as possible over the hips and move in the shortest route up and down That's my input anyway

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	Obviously not an option if you're pursuing a powerlifting total, but if you're a long limbed athlete purely in pursuit of leg development, then swap back for front squats and do this in a heeled shoe. You can almost eliminate forward lean this way no matter how unfavourable your biomechanics. This has served me well.
