Sitting back when squatting & focusing on heels.

I don't remember you offering any constructive advice whatsoever. Imagine someone like Dymas asking his coach for some solid squatting advice only to be told a curt 'oh just go up and down. There's nothing to it. And if that doesn't work. Go down the pub'.

little_a said:I cant imagine that. Someone like Dymas wouldnt ask much at all. They would just get on with it. The constructive advice was maybe a little bit too layman to be obvious, as mirrored by young Clegg. Would he think about where the pressure should be on his feet during a squat? No more than I would, or 'not at all'
What you're discussing is very basic and (IMO) not to be taught via the internet blindly. At the stage you describe advice would be to get some one on one coaching to gain a sound technique.
Can we have some chicks now lads FFS?

How very dare you ask this in here. Wholly inapproriate!

No.


Yes.

I was acutally asking little A, not you. So There!

General_ill said:
thanks Col
I only asked because I noticed most powerlifters at the masters this weekend had what looked like weightlifting shoes on

Thanks for clearing that up. It's nice to know a genuine and heartfelt enquiry into squatting technique gets poo pooh'ed as 'pretty basic' by some other members, and asked to be substituted with images of naked women.

And I take it you enver bothered with weighlifting shoes either - as this would mean you've given your posture some 'thought'.

It isnt poo pooh'ed, but it is basic. The advice to get some one on one hands on coaching is as good as you'll get on here. If having this pointed out causes a dent to your ego thats more a reflection on you than the advice given. Back away from the roid rage type responses fella and chill out.
