Post seminar squat check-up

[Agilic]

Coaches,

Thanks again for the wonderful seminar held at Coliseum Strength & Conditioning in Hampton, VA last weekend. The overall information and technique feedback was priceless.

Would you mind taking a look at how my squat looks while trying to implement the cues I received? The main ones were:

-break hips and knees at same time
-get knees more forward
-chest down earlier and more
-get weight onto mid foot (I was rolling onto the outside of my heels so badly that my big toes were actually coming off the ground)
-hands in closer and keep wrists straighter (they were wrapping over the bar)
-aggressive hip drive out of hole

This is my 2nd squat session since the seminar and it really felt like it clicked. I can't remember my squat feeling this easy since......well, the seminar.

Here is my 3rd and final planned triple:

Thanks again for all that you guys do!

Glad we could help. Those squats look really good. Rep two may have been just above parallel, but, otherwise, that is how a squat should look. Nicely done.

So the knees moving back is not only okay, but desirable?

[Tom Campitelli]

The knees have to move back at some point as they extend.

I didn't realize that point is so early.

Those are, with the minor depth caveat on rep two, properly done squats.
