Comment on form

[rao00010]

Mr. Rippetoe,

I was hoping that you could comment on my squat form. I am 5'6" and have been doing SS since January. I was 150 lbs and could squat only 95lbs. Now I am 168 lbs and my squat work sets are at 185 lbs. My bench has gone from 110 to 165 lbs and my deadlift has gone from 95 lbs to 160 lbs.

I know that proper form is essential to linear progression and want to correct any mistakes.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Sunil

Your squats are 6" high, so you are not really squatting 185.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I need to go lower?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Yes, much lower. Read the book.

I'll re-read it. Thank you very much!

you are initiating with your knees traveling forward too much. Sit your ass back!
