Does the chest issue occur on your light and medium days?
Still working on rising my chest at the same time as my hips. Weight was heavy today and only got 4 reps for the first two sets. Pulled up my sack and finished the 3rd set with all 5 reps. Happy with progress. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Does the chest issue occur on your light and medium days?
Considering your squat is 100+ lbs heavier than mine, I don't feel totally within my rights to critique your form. But I'm going to do it anyways since it's here and you're asking, but humbly so.
Just by looking at the plates, you're coming out of midfoot just a touch here and there. Your knees are coming forward at the bottom as well which could be costing you some poundage. So try to set your knees sooner. Lastly, on the last rep you come significantly back on your heels. This has happened to me several time and I've seen it happen on Jordan's training videos in the past. It's hip drive, but not hip DRAHVE, i.e. Your driving your hips hard more BACKward the UPward.
But again, I'm just a lowly, early intermediate so feel free to tell me to stfu and crawl back to my plebeian cave.
Part of the reason your chest rises is because you never really get bent over all that much to begin with. You also start loosing more control over your knees as you get tired. This happens to me all the friggin' time. For the knees, I don't have any good cues for someone as far along as you are except you just have to really, really think about keeping them over your toes until you're halfway up. You should work to fix this, but I wouldn't get into that process this close to your meet. Work on that after the meet while you're moving lighter weights. What's helped some is pausing in the bottom with my knees where I want them for awhile and then coming back up with another brief pause about 1/3 of the way up. I can tell when I'm doing it right after not doing it right for awhile by how tired my hamstrings get keeping my knees in position.
Shoes with a heel help, too.
