Squat Form Check Please

[kevin1969]

Last set of 3x5x260 so probably my worst form.

Things I know that are going on:

1) Doing a little pre hip-pop thing before dropping down. Old Crossfit air squat habit. Trying to break it.

2) Might not be pushing knees out far enough causing the dreaded "butt wink". I also have tight hamstrings/hips. And yes I know the butt wink stuff is bullshit but it's a fun topic to bring up. I did just get a pair of Rehband Blue knee sleeves which I hope will give me more feedback in feeling where my knees are.

Appreciate the help guys/gals !!!

Nice rack. You're descending way too fast. You're also going too deep. You can't go that low and maintain the necessary tightness in your hamstrings to generate a good bounce. Push your knees out, set your low back and control your descent. If you do this all correctly, you should feel the "bottom" right after your hip passes the plane of your knee joint and you should bounce off your hamstrings. Quit doing that silly shit with your hips before you start, too.

Nice rack.

Thx. Rogue SM-2

Push your knees out, set your low back and control your descent.

Thanks. Will post a followup.
