Form check on squats, press and deadlift
Hi Rip,
I would appreciate some critique on my form for these 3 lifts. Some things are pretty obvious, such as lack of depth on the squat (working on it) and leaning the whole body forward on the press (which is an easy fix), but there might be some other things that your eyes might catch that I missed.
Thanks

It doesn't take Rip to see that you have missed dinner for the past three years.

Yes I have read SSed2 and watched the DVD. Understanding the book and actually performing the lifts correctly in the gym are 2 different things though. I might think I'm doing something correctly but the video obviously shows otherwise.
That wasn't the intention of the video. Thanks for your opinion.Originally Posted by Alex Willess

In the absence of a coach, you read the book, video your lifts, compare them to the book descriptions and the other hundreds of videos on this website, observe my comments relating to those videos and how they might relate to yours, alter your from accordingly, video it again and compare. And you eat dinner every day.

I didn't understand all the dinner comments until I saw the vid. Damn, ur thin.
From my very limited experience (two months so far), eating enough food plays as crucial a role in being strong enough to advance each week as does enough rest. I try to get enough protein and fat each day (carbs are pretty easy to get) to justify the time I'm putting in the gym. I've always been on the heavy side, but you're so skinny, you'd do better increasing just about everything (but protein and good fat take priority) as Rip suggests in the books (GOMAD, 5k calories / day, etc).

You need to make this a sticky.

I need to make a sticky that makes dull people smarter. Any suggestions?
