You're letting your knees too far forward / hips not back. This is why the bar position is still resulting in a squat lacking hip drive.

Periodization was heavily talked about when I was getting a USA track and field coaching certification for throws maybe 10 years ago. We read Bompa's...

Thanks for this post. Looks identical to my squat at the bottom and I'm glad to see the feedback confirm my concerns.

Starting Strength radio is also available on podcast apps if you don't have time for ads. However I know YouTube is better monetized. With the amount...

Why 8 reps? Seems like torture.

My understanding is that the double layback should happen naturally as you get stronger and the weight gets heavier. I don't think the book mentions...

I'm 6' 2". I switched to 3" on squats during a reset just out of curiosity. I found it's far easier for me to get into position at the bottom now and...

Try 8 minutes and stick with 3 sets of 5. You should have fully caught your breath between sets.

Not a coach but 1) No. Looks like you need to drive your hips further back and consequently bend over more. 2) might be a touch narrow ...

Hey Mark, I think you're descending too fast and out of control. If you control it more you will be better able to tie the instructional videos and...

Agree with Neil. You're lifting your chest but not enough. It should be uncomfortable before you start the pull. Lifting the chest should set the...

The camera angles aren't great.

6 minutes is not enough between sets, which is why you failed set 3. It's also probably why you stalled with 3x5.

Sounds like you created week 5b.

I'm 6' 2" and the only thing I hate about my power rack are the monkey bars because it forces a more narrow grip than I want with my long arms. That...

If you get him to think ass back, I think the pain will subside in a few weeks if it is pinching at the bottom. I read 'Active hip 2.0' by Rip then...

Sounds like you're overtrained

What exercise and weights are you using for your volume pulls?

Not that I've noticed. I think doing double overhand for warm ups takes care of it.

Those are high bar squats so I guess I'm not sure how close to your DL they should be. Don't let grip stop your deadlift. Do all your warm ups...

Like I said, if I wear boxer briefs (or anything tight), my hips impinge. Also for whatever reason I can never see the videos when they're...

I agree, you should probably start alternating your pulls and move to 2 lbs on OHP. 10 minutes between work sets is my standard. Are you hitting...

I've gotten 5,5,4 four weeks in a row. I think it's because I have a bad knot or something in my arm so my bench form is inconsistent. I should...

Have you missed a set of 5 yet on a 5 lb increase? Once you miss maybe a 5% reset will seem like a better idea.

I believe the reset should be on your volume day- presumably cleans for your pulls. I think you're supposed to keep adding 5 lbs to intensity day but...
