Squat Depth Check
Before I get the bighead about squatting weights that I never dreamed possible, how's my depth?
Jump ahead to 0:20 to avoid the preliminaries.

Crap. Yeah, I see it now. Thanks for stoppin' by!

Good luck. When I hit new weights, the "fear" sometimes leaves me a bit high. It's not too hard to get that extra inch or two of depth. Keep videoing until you can feel your depth and you'll be good.

Practice with those safeties while using the empty bar. Go all the way down and let the bar kiss the safeties, to get a sense of hope deep you really need to be

Thanks, Tiburon!

Better?
I have flexibility issues with right knee. When I get to body weight and higher, I rely on the weight pushing me down more.
As always, skip ahead to 0:19. To my eye, #1 and 5 aren't there, but #2 - 4 made it.

I agree. Depth is good for 2-4.
Separate subject: Is your belt tight enough?

Nice.Originally Posted by MashedTaters
Next step: work on getting more hip drive. Lead up with the hips, not the chest.
Onward and upward

I appreciate the input.
Yes, the belt is as tight as I can get it. I guess it appears loose cuz my gut is bigger that I'd like it to be LOL Working on that, tho'.
Hip drive - got it.
Thanks again for stoppin' by, guys.
