    I think I need to slow down a bit and work on form. And the weight hangs on a camber so it is a little different. There is a balancing technique where you push the bar forward a bit. I was focusing on throwing my ass out and getting more "nippled down". I will experiment with a few different maneuvers to get my hip crease below the patella.

    Does the SSB put the bar in the same place on your back as a LBBS would? If not, the geometry of the lift will change, so the "point your nipples at the floor" cue might not be appropriate in this case.

    But I'm not a coach, and I've never had an SSB on my back, so there are better people to ask about this.

    It sits higher on your shoulders. There are some tricks you can play with the handles to move it back some. But you are definately more upright. It was something i tried to avoid for a long time but the pain in my shoulder grew to where i didnt want to get under the bar anymore so it was better than not squatting.

    Nice work! Is that a home gym? I'm jealous.

    Clay, yes, a home gym. I'm quite fortunate,. When I met my wife she was a crossfitter and I got interested in it as well. We found a really good deal on a rack and bunch of weights and we went in halves on it. She has never given me any flack about money spent on our gym equipment. She lifts, and so do our kids. (Only one left in the nest. )

    I should probably be embarrassed to admit this, but I once did a bench press at 225 where I'd somehow managed to forget to load the second plate on the left side. Yeah, that side really flew up.
