    Some light deads. Just started SSBBT for real after quitting track (finally). These are 195lbs at a bodyweight of around 155lbs (I know, that will change). Be picky; I want to catch any errors before this thing actually gets heavy.

    Thanks guys. I'll have a squat video after I find someone who knows how to work a video recorder, haha.

    Nice job overall. The ascent looks fine, but you're rounding your back out as you lower the bar back to the floor. The same cues that you use to think about getting into good spinal extension at set-up should serve you well as you lower the weight back down to the floor. Shoulders back/chest up/dick dropped down and back between your knees.

    Think these thoughts as you are going down to grab the bar. Try to see
    how far you can push your butt out behind you as you try to push your chin
    as far out in front as you can.

    This will get the proper tightness in your back and also you need
    to squeeze your shoulder blade together. hold this tightness throughout
    the lift.

    These thought have helped me a lot.
