Squat Form Check, 275x5

[John Penick]

Hi, Starting Strength coaches. I was wondering what I should be looking to correct in my squat to bring it more in line with the model. In particular, I'm not sure I'm getting the back angle horizontal enough.

Also, this is the first session back after what I think was a pulled muscle last week (six days, two missed training sessions). I didn't notice it until the day after training last week, but I can't think of what else may have caused it. It felt like a sharp pain deep under the medial side of my right scapula. It only really bothered me from my own movements, not from outside manipulation. I was relatively pain free for a couple days before starting again, but I've felt some very mild discomfort from training.

The only problem I see here is that your stance is a bit too wide. Narrow it to shoulder width and carry on.
