    Default Squat Check - Follow up

    Hi,

    in this thread ( http://startingstrength.com/resource...ad.php?t=48353 ) Nick D'Agostino gave me two tips:

    1) Hip Drive
    2) Break at knees and hips at the same time, cue: Knees first.

    I dropped the weight and worked on these cues, I think I got knees first but I'm not sure, if I still need more hip drive.

    Here is the third set on the first weight, that passed the last form check, 105kg (231 lb)x5

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, you are almost entirely lacking in hip drive. Nick's cue there still applies. Also, your stance may be wide, but I cannot say for sure.

    Ok, I'll try to cue hip drive even more.

    How can I/you tell, if the stance is too wide? Video from a back angle?

    Yeah, or even from a rear 45 is often sufficient.

    I got a back angle today:

    (It is only a set at 80%, I'm doing HLM, but my stance wasn't different from the heavy day)

    I would try a slightly narrower stance.
