    My cues are not the same as your cues. If you’re just starting out, what’s going through your mind as you lift will be very different from what’s going through the mind of a veteran.

    Good article.

    Technique breaks down when it's really heavy; when at the limits of force production the squat isn't always quite to depth and the knees might slide more than they should. Technique can be practised more carefully on the warm up reps and the easier day lifts where getting to perfection is easier and then it's balls out and often quite a bit more ugly on the ultimate heavy sets.

    I always warm up as if the weight is heavy and try not to just romp through it without caring about technique and cues. I make these practice sessions count- I sometimes look at the plates on the warm up set and remember a time when that weight did test me, so I let that memory be my guide to being more serious about the lift, even if it's now easily within my capacity.
