Hi Rip. I posted this in Technique but I'm also interested in your feedback.

Thanks,
Chris

Your stance is too wide and there seems to be a Kotex on your bar.

Yeah, someone else mentioned that as well. I'll need to check with my wife and tell her to make sure she cleans that shit up after she's done squatting.

I'll shorten up the stance and go from there. Everything else looks 'ok' I gather?

Haha, haven't heard that one before.

But didn't notice his feet were too wide apart, gotta check myself tomorrow if I'm keeping it shoulder-width.

The second rep was high. I can't see your bar placement because of the textiles.

Well I guess I deserved the remarks (somewhat). I'll man up tomorrow and get some footage w/o the accoutrements on the bar.

Until then, happy squatting & thanks Rip!

Bar is high. Fix the thumbs as well.

There is a big lapse from when your hips break to when your knees break. It's weird to watch.
