    Default Squat form check - 285#'s

    Squat form check:



    Couple things I've noticed...bent wrists, not sitting back, butt wink...not sitting back and butt wink I attribute to not stretching my hamstrings (also the reason some why my hip flexors are so sore at the moment)...bent wrists I attribute to me being lazy and not working on my shoulder mobility like I should be doing...any other glaring defaults that I'm missing?

    I think they look just fine.

    You don't think the butt wink is excessive? I need to focus on driving outta the hole too.

    I notice that you start looking down towards the floor, but once you begin the descent begin looking straight ahead. Maybe consciously keep looking at the floor to improve drive out of the hole?

    Yeah that's a bad habit that I do to keep my chest up...need to break it.

    Hi,

    I think you could go lower another inch, to make sure you are breaking parallel. The third and fourth rep especially look a tad shallow. I also think that having less butt wink would probably make it easier and safer for you to get depth.

    Damn...didn't even notice that...definitely high on reps 4 and 5 on both sets...rep 3 is iffy.

    If it keeps your chest up, it might not be a bad habit. Also, I don't see any "butt wink" at all. I think you are overanaylzing.

    The only thing I see is not sitting back enough, which is limiting your bounce off you hamstrings. I think if you sit back a touch more, they will be absolutely perfect.

    Some high reps and the wrist issues you mentioned, but other than that they look fine.

    I'm gonna have to tape all of my sessions for awhile to make sure I'm getting good depth.
