Wide Stance High Bar Squat Form Check Please
I can't low bar squat due to chronic low back issues, so let me get that out of the way foremost.
I think I'm doing two things wrong on high bar:
1) I think I'm squatting too deep, using momentum, not strength to get myself out of first part of the very bottom. I think there is a point where the momentum ends and the strength takes over on the way up, and you can probably see it pretty clearly because the bar speed slows. I think that is also jacking up my balance, which is why I start leaning as it gets harder and starts to look ugly. That I think I can fix.
2) Don't think I'm using hip drive, and I think that's for two reasons; Subconsciously trying to protect my lower back from taking any load, and I can't figure out how to use hip drive on high bar (I can do hip drive low bar, but at the expense of being crippled for about 4 days).
Any feedback is appreciated.
