Broom Squat Check
Hi,
after screwing around with several bb-splits I luckily found this site. I since read the Book "Starting Strength" and watched the dvd several times. I will start starting strength as soon as I recover from a cold. I didn't really try the squat in the Gym yet, because I want to make shure I have the technique down. So here's me broom squatting in the living room:

Is the bar/broom in the right (low) position? I'm having flexibility problems in the shoulders and that's how far I can go down.

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure I'm on the right track. Next time I'll post a video with me squatting with some weight. Can't wait until I can go to the gym again. It's almost as if christmas is right around the corner. Oh, wait ...

You also need to find a way to stop your knees from moving forward 1/3-1/2 after the decent. Yours continue to move forward the entire way down.
