Reply With QuoteJulian, have you read the book? From your grip, to the bar position on your back, to your head position, and back angle, these don't look anything like the squat we teach.

Hamstring (?) Pain returning
Hi all,
i had issues with my left knee in the past. And there are first signs, that the issue is returning. Instead of risking injury and pause i thought maybe someone on here has an idea. I had a knee "specialist" look at the thing 2 years ago, but the outcome was a recipe for shoes inlays after 3 minutes of muscle testing...
The pain is the highest when i would perform isolated hamstring curls or back extensions with extended knees. (Which i surely don't do on SS).

I get the pain from squatting, as i also did in the past. Therefore i'll attach a video of my squat technique:
On rep 2 my pants ripped so please ignore the forward sway of that one.
Could the problem be just poor hamstring flexiblity? I also noticed, that my feet are slightly more pointed out than my knees on the bottom of the squat. Could that be the issue?
I don't really know how to solve this and i would be very pleased if i would not have to take sessions off in the future because of this.
Thankful for any help!

This is my current bar position, what i consider low bar? Otherwise the bar would be laying out on my humerus.Originally Posted by Satch12879

My grip is moved out due to poor shoulder mobility. I'm working on this trying to get my hands over the bar. My head position is indeed bad. Seems like i adjusted my gaze as it's said in the books, but didn't move my head. Thanks for that.
And the back angle results from the bar being over my mid-foot.
