You can actually see on my Youtube page a couple shitty quality videos (in terms of video and squat form) from 4 months ago where I clearly had no idea of the cue "chest up." Anyway I think squatting like that made me very PC dominant, and so now that I am getting the form down and keeping my chest up (in addition to using the Do-Wins instead of my wrestling shoes), my quads are the weak point and they are causing the trouble holding the back angle. In any case, its getting better every session and thats what counts.
It is reassuring to hear from someone who's gone through this process, and the advice to just keep on working at it is exactly what I needed to hear, so once again I appreciate it Gary.
Anyone else care to comment on the presses?
