    Hey folks,

    Thought I knew how to squat. Incorrect.

    Bad video but doesn't hide the shitty technique. Bad rounding in the hole, the whole works. Poor choice of wardrobe and camera-bro.

    I've tried to amend things with constant filming and rereading of squat chapter. I look at Wolf's squats a lot and try not to get distracted by his calves.

    Here's today's 3rd set at 275.

    Any and all feedback is appreciated. Posting here before bringing it upstairs to the coaches. Thanks ya'll

    You're all hips, Prim. Use some more knee at the top. This will probably create a slightly more vertical back angle and I bet you'll keep a little more extension at the bottom this way. I'll concede that your first video shows a tiny bit of lumbar flexion at the bottom, but not a ton. Let's see how this one fix changes the lift for you.
