    Not bad. Again, now that you're keeping your chest up, go back to focusing on driving the hips up. Is there any other angle you can shoot these from?

    It's hard to evaluate with the camera so close, but my hunch is that the bar is in front of the mid foot. Next time you squat, pay attention to where you feel pressure on your feet though the rep. Are you on your toes? If so, shift back to the mid foot. Go back to the book and read about The Master Cue.

    Sorry about that, my room is narrow and that's the best I can do with a side angle. I see what you mean about it looking forward of mid-foot, but those actually felt more centered than they have in a while. No pressure at all on my toes. I will keep working on it, however.

    I'm actually re-reading the book for the third time right now. I have the DVD and go over it before, after, and during sessions, too. Being so bad at squats is really weighing on me. I actually wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it
