What they said. Also whatever you are lifting there looks way too light. Put some weight on the bar and you'll find you have to move your arms in to keep from dropping it.Originally Posted by mgilchrest

Yep. Nothing like the fear of dropping heavy shit to motivate the use of good technique.

I recommend an excercise called "squatting" -- and add some weight every week. I assume that video is the empty bar -- put some weight on and film a real video from 3/4 rear view and post it to the technique forum. You won't learn how to squat by doing empty bar squats and worrying about your hands. Once there's enough weight to need your hands to control it your body will figure out a way, then film that and post it and smart people will help you get it right.
