    "KNEES OUT!"

    You are not allowed to lift the weight up unless your knees are out. And no looking in the mirror to see if they are out. Just concentrate on pushing them out. Way out.

    Damn that's pretty harsh. If you only knew how hard I was pushing my knees put during that set. No amount of yelling would've prevented it. Think I should back off on the weight until I'm cured?

    You can back off to find the weight where you can keep your knees out. Take videos and watch them between sets. All you're going to "loose" is a few weeks and that is nothing the big scheme of things. And you're not really loosing those weeks anyway.

    Okay. Things I'm considering as well:

    Stance too wide.
    Sitting back too far - I'm a raw lifter after all. You think this is causing the bar to shift forward out of a straight line and making my quads fight for control? I kinda feel like this is plausible. I break way too much at the hips IMO.
    Toes too far out.

    Thoughts?

    I think being 'raw' has absolutely nothing to do with it. I think that constantly coming forward has left your hams underdeveloped for that weight.

    Now your quads are needed much more to lift it... your body realizes this and compensates... although I may be wrong.
