Nitpicking is welcome.

looks like nitpicking is all that's left. these look solid to me.

now go add 10#'s to be bar every workout and 5#'s thereafter. you are skinny but if you eat a cheeseburger or two you might get that squat north of 300 in short order.

Yep, that's the plan right there!

Thanks for looking, misspelledgeoff, appreciate it!

You start your descent with some weird good-morning like movement, that's not nice. You bend forward for a while with your knees locked and just then you bend your knees. That's just weird. Stop doing that.

zinv, your squats are fundamentally fine. you've got appropriate depth and great hip drive. keep practicing while adding weight. Silly things you might be doing with lighter weights have a way of correcting themselves once the weight gets heavy.

and telling him the obvious thing he's doing wrong is much better than leaving it to heavier weights correcting it.

So break with the knees (pushing them out) and hips at the same time - got it! I might have went OC with getting my hips pushed out, thus resulting with GM-ish movement early on.

Thanks Carlos!

Stop throwing your ass back. I see this all the time.

Break at your knees and hips at the same time.

Noted, Carnivroar. Will post a vid hopefully this Friday (gym buddy pending) to address the issue.

Thanks!
