    Default Squat Form Check 225x5

    I was stupid and about 2 months ago decided to lower my calories to 2500 to get shredded for the summer :-(. I've only recently moved back up to 3000. 6' 2", 198. At the time I lowered calories, I weighed around 210.

    Topped out at 245 on worksets and now I'm struggling with 225. I've deloaded down to 200, worked back up, still having trouble at 225 for some reason. This set was first set - failed the 2nd and 3rd, 4 and 3 respectively.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Your squats look okay, albeit heavy. You could probably widen your stance an inch or so. Stay tighter at the bottom. I think what you need is more Bolt Thrower on your MP3 player. Go after this shit. You can squat more than 225 for sets and reps. At 6'2", you can eat a good deal of food and weigh more than 198, too. For reals.
