Member 2236, 270 posts SQ 100, BP 60, DL 140 300.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	trying to sort out my form on these, i'm a skinny f**ker who hasnt lifted properly before so im trying to sort that out too! this is the most weight at the most reps ive done, i know they arent deep, but would like any pointers on how best to push on from here, when i do them they are 3x5 at the moment, today was 80kx5 90kx5 100kx5, the 80;s & 90's were better, the 100's were as low as i could go and as as heavy, will stick these weights out now until form is alot better, wasnt the greatest filming, but heels are mainly rooted, even if it does look like im rolling onto toes a fair bit

There are too many factors that come into a good squat to go through them all. Just squat. Lots. But....really make an effort to get to at least parallel (drop weight if you have to) and you should try to prevent your knees from travelling too far forward over your toes. You will achieve this by sitting into the lift more (drop your arse back and not straight down).

I've trvelled over 100 miles on two occassions to train with two different guys from this forum, and I picked up more in those hours than I have in all the time I've spent reading and looking for help on the internet.

my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305 745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq	Plenty of useful advice has been given already, but my general pointers would be: 1. Take a slightly wider stance - you should be sitting down between your legs. At the moment you appear to be doing a bit of a concertina squat 2. Go lower. You are missing out on a lot of benefits by cutting depth. Look up 'squat rx' on youtube for some decent tutorials. Best of luck.
