| Ryan I think you just need to squat more for it to feel natural. At least once a week every week without fail. Your technique is fine just get under that bar and squat. I know you love deadlifting but maybe backing off slightly will help you focus on your squat (if you really want to improve it). I'm a great believer in a good squatter is generally a good deadlifter, but a good deadlifter isn't always a good squatter. Just set some goals you want to achieve and go and get them! We all spend too much time blaming technique and trying to perfect this and that when sometimes we just need to shut up and lift! Under 4 weeks to go for your comp mate, time to step the training up, starting tonight!! | |||

FAT_SAM said:Strong mate! Grip looks slightly too wide for you though, I reckon you'd be stronger closer. With a closer grip you can get extra pop out of the bottom from your lats aswell. Cheers sam, I definitely want to improve my pressing this year. I'll move my grip in and see how I get on. Where do you grip the bar? As in the same as close grip bench or a bit wider? | |||

Post Edited: 12.05.2012 @ 21:56 PM by Darrenmac1988 12/05/2012Had a few goals in mind today and set my sights on them. Changed my technique on squat (toes point out more) and bench (legs back more with slight arch) which both really helped. A really east session apart from squat and push press! Have set an 8 week goal of a 225kg squat and 125kg push press. Squat - 60x5, 100x3, 130x3, 160x3, 180x8 PB (belt and wraps) Bench - 60x5, 80x5, 110x5, 110x5, 110x5, 110x5, 110x5 (all very easy) Dbel Row - 33x8, 43x8, 43x8, 43x8 Push Press - 60x2, 80x2, 100x1, 110x1, 120x1 PB Curl - 30x5, 52.5x5, 52.5x5, 52.5x5, 52.5x5, 52.5x5 (easing the weight up gently as to not aggravate my injury) 180kgx8 120kgx1 | |||
