Squat form check - bar tilting
Hi guys and gals,
Link:
squat bar tilt - YouTube
Numbers:
I'm 24, 210lbs 5'9. My squat today was 260lbs, restarted NLP about 10 days ago after a break due to equipment shipping delays.
The Problem:
I found that the bar is tilting to my right side. This tilt is more pronounced in lighter loads.
Today, I also noticed that my squat stance is slightly staggered, the right leg settles slightly behind the left one naturally (I did correct this as soon as I saw it).
History:
When I was working out in a gym two years ago, others pointed this out to me and I switched to high bar based on some "bro science".
One year ago, I started squatting low bar again, and my left shoulder used to hurt a lot, most likely because of an unstable bar position.
As of now, the left shoulder (the one that is inclined up in the video) is stiffer than the right one, but I do the horn stretch, and can get the bar down low.
Thanks for reading this, do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue? Furthermore, is the tilt bad enough to cause injuries in the long term?
