Another boring squat check

[Ice-man]

Decided to point out my toes a bit more and shove my knees out even further. To stop knee sliding forward. It work but feel weak in this position from the hole, so weak that bar goes forward of the midfoot on the way up?

Yawn...

You're sliding forward and weak out of the hole because you're getting loose at the bottom. You must maintain tension in your hips and keep the extension in your lumbar. Don't let the weight smush you at the bottom. Bounce out of the tension in your hips versus bouncing your hamstrings off your calves.

Probably the best piece of info I got in a long time.

Many thanks I can actually visualise your info. Will give that a try Monday

What cues can I use to maintain that tightness i.e. Tight knees etc

[Paracordist]

For safety sake you might want to consider cage with the safety bars set a higher so you can go with confidence that you can bail safely?

I'm not an expert, but it also helps to slow your descent a bit. I think about getting tighter and tighter on the way down and it seems to help.

I have incorporated tightness /tension in the hips and stopped bouncing against my hamstring/calves. Reset weight back 225lb


Sorry for the bad angle.

I can't tell if you're getting low enough from that angle, but I can see that you're doing a better job staying out of your knees, with the exception of rep 4.

Looks a lot tighter, too.

Carry on.
