Member 1674, 306 posts SQ 350, BP 250, DL 305905.0 kgs @ 93kgs Eq | Cheers mate, not in your league though, actually trying to emulate your style more, its taking a while to get comfortable enough to descend faster though, just trying to keep control on the descent. Hopefully it will come. | ||

Hopefully it will come. Right! That's it, I'm not posting any more of my squat videos on the t'internet!  One thing to try if, you're going with that wide stance, is some flat soled shoes. I can squat with a heel, but if I'm using my wide stance then I find it much easier to sit back with a flat shoe on. Don't start dicking around if you're working up to a comp though, as it will feel very strange for a few weeks - maybe something to look at when you have a quiet period? | ||

Am I elite? Member 1674, 306 posts SQ 350, BP 250, DL 305905.0 kgs @ 93kgs Eq | Cheers Macca, Don't panic I don't think I'll be repping out 250 with just a belt any time soon! I was thinking the same thing myself about the shoes after watching the video, may go for some white leather converse allstars! And a bandana?! Still got plenty of time to adjust, the big comp is in May. That would give me maybe 16 heavy sessions in them before the comp, do you think thats enough? | ||

That's loads of time Rob, it took me maybe 3-4 weeks to get really comfortable. It does require more flexibility to get to depth though, but again 3-4 weeks and plenty of foam rolling / stretching will sort that out. | ||

You should just leave it till the last week, or maybe don't even try it until on the day? | ||
