    Default Another squat check

    Hey coach, was hoping you wouldn't mind taking a quick look at a recent set of squats.

    In the past I have had problems with shooting my hips back without breaking at the knees and turning my squats into a good morning (I'm not afraid of leaning forward, you were actually the one who told me to start squatting and stop doing good mornings, hehe...) and that also resulted in my bar path coming forward.

    I'm trying to break at the knees simultaneously with the hips now, what do you think?

    I think I can cut the depth off to maintain better tightness and perhaps be careful about the knee movement in the hole but otherwise I don't notice anything too terrible. Doesn't look like as much hip drive as I used to get with the more "good morning" style though. Any criticisms appreciated, thanks.

    The sequence of events has been corrected, but they are 2 inches too deep. You're giving up a lot of weight doing that.

    Thanks Rip I appreciate it, will work on cutting them off closer to parallel. Thanks again!
