The sliding knees and other shit fixed by TUBOW (mostly)

[Tom Lang]

Here's an update to this thread.

After I posted some other vids in the downstairs forum, Spar got me back to using TUBOW to correct my awful lean and to help with my sliding knees problem. The most recent vids are on the last page of that thread, see them here:

With TUBOW (set #4 today):

And set #5 without it:

Still not perfect, but--I think--so much better that where I was last month. In my case, TUBOW was also a useful cue for leaning correctly (assuming I am doing so in these videos!).

Coaches, thanks for all your help.

Those are decent. It wouldn't hurt to go just a little deeper and really work on driving with your hips all the way to the top.

Thanks, Tom.

I squatted again today, using TUBOW for all but the last set (3x5). The last set gets loose. I'll stick with TUBOW and concentrate on baking the correct form in for the next few work-outs. Sound reasonable?

It does, although ditch the block of wood as soon as it is possible to do so.
