Slighly off balance

[Koalala]

During my set I am getting slightly of balance and the bar path is not perfectly straight.

Are there any cues for fixing this or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks in regard./

You're doing a good job keeping your hips back on the way up, but you aren't descending that same way. When you hit the bottom there looks like there is slack in your hamstrings since you didn't descend with your ass back, so your bounce is working against you more than for you. As your hamstrings tighten to stand up your ass is rising faster than your shoulders and the bar looks like its moving forward towards your toes more. I think pushing your ass back on the way down will help keep you tighter and fix some of this. You can put a box behind you to reach for, or just think of pushing your ass back more and down between your heels less.

Thanks for the pointers, I think indeed the bounce is not really working for me.

Hard to tell, but are your thumbs around the bar?

You might develop some elbow pain with the way your wrists appear to be bending... just a thought though I know that wasn't the point of the post.

Does anyone else see the need for a chest up cue here?

[Koalala]

Yes I do have thumbs arround the bar.

Chest up would be in place or maybe even lifting the chest ?

You know thumbs around isn't recommended right?
For the chest up cue, try to imagine keeping your neck in a neutral position and holding a tennis ball up against your chin with your chest. You should be able to maintain that for the entire descent and ascent on the squat.
Or, actually get a tennis ball.
