Thanks for the help--I'll take the advice, and post a couple of video of me trying to correct the problems.
To clarify, olympic weightlifting shoes are NOT the same as "squat shoes," right? This shoe, which is "designed for the Starting Strength program,"
http://buyweightliftingshoes.com/rev...rip-boot-shoe/ is what Rip calls a 'squat shoe' in Starting Strength? Just wondering, why do you recommend the olympic weightlifting shoe?
@Dastardly and TomC: I agree--I should eat more. I said that I ate a lot not to brag about how heavy I am, but to suggest I know it's important to stuff your face. But even then, I should ramp it up--I haven't done GOMAD yet.
