    hi guys

    well in monday im starting week 4 of the program
    and after some critique In forums from my country
    i decided to ask you guys about my squat

    i know its not perfect..or good...and im still working on my form each workout a bit

    you can also see my other squats and deadlifts in my youtube channel

    btw, my phone is.. well not so good and i can only shot for 13-14 sec.. so in most of the short films you cannot see all 5 reps.. about 3-4 reps

    well

    Depth on the majority of reps was insufficient. It also looks like, after viewing each video several times, your heels lift a bit. Hopefully others will confirm or negate this. If so, gotta keep the weight over midfoot and drive from the midfoot back to the heel. Like the cue in the SS:BBT book indicates, lift your big toes to help keep things back where they should be and preventing the heels from lifting.

    If you watch the actual path of the bar, it goes down and forward towards the front of your feet and then up and back on the way up. I.e. a squat/good morning combination.

    So, more knees out, more weight back on your heels, basically. Should help with the depth and keep balance more over midfoot. Speaking of which, try this on your warmups - instead of thinking about sitting back or down or whatever, try just sort of balancing all the way down such that you can still wiggle your toes at the bottom. Assuming your knees are tracking properly over your toes ("knees out") and your back is arched ("chest up"), that should represent a pretty good bottom position for you. Take a snapshot of what that "feels" like in your brain, then return there each rep.
