Squat form check - lower back pain

Also, can you make sure you cover the windows in the door behind you when you take any future videos? And try cleaning the lens.

Thanks for this Spar, I will study it and give it a try over the next few training sessions and will update in a few days. I guess with the chest thing I try to keep it up so that I dont end up doing a good morning style ascent, will keep practicing. Cover window and lens clean noted!

I think chest out is not a good cue for you, since you overdo it. Maybe think elbows and shoulder blades tight instead?

Hi Guys, I have posted todays video and tried to work on the points you mentioned Spar. Does feel a bit odd and back aches a bit tonight but going to keep at it, will be away for next few days but will get some more vids up next week.

I think I am overextending the upper back due to tight shoulders, I have only recently lossened them up enough to grip the bar with straight wrists so when I grab the bar I seem to have to stick my chest out to get my wrist in the correct position. I will have a go with the elbows and shoulder blades back cue next time.

Cheers

The upper back looks better to me now, and I notice more driving through the hip, but it looks like you're not staying tight when you get near/into the hole. This may be contributing to your back pain.

I don't suppose there's anyway to move the camera further away and up a little? No offense, and I do see that it looks like you're working in tight quarters, but your videos are really crappy and makes it hard to see what's going on.

Agreed re the video , I will see if I can get my wife to film through the window on the other side it may give a bit more room. A few days away now so will check back with a video next week. cheers

For lighting, next time block the window directly in front of you instead of the one to your left.

Hi Guys I have had a busy week so just got the chance to get my wife to video me,hopefully it is a little better. I noticed I wasn't going as low as normal I think this is just due to me thinking about all the other things I have to put right. I have been trying to look down keep back as neutral as possible and stay tight at the bottom. Comments welcomed!!
