Squat Form Check

[ABM]

I didn't feel as solid in my form on Friday as I did on Wednesday, so I'm going to keep posting. I think I might still be going too deep.

Also, yesterday was the first power-clean day that actually felt heavy. I'd appreciate any feedback on it.

I see solid squats that demonstrate a good fundamental understanding of the movement. However, on at least one rep, you decided to pause and sit down in the hole. Don't do that. Your 3rd set seemed to show the best hip drive out of the hole. Keep everything tight in the bottom and you'll be good. You're doing knees-out so much better than before. Great improvement.

Your power cleans lacked power, because you're not really jumping. You're extending your ankles, but you're not jumping. Resolve to stomp your feet down hard. Aim to make that loud stomp sound. You'll find that this can only be done if your jump.

The movement starts with a setup that is very uncertain. Approach the bar using the deadlift steps outlined in the book, rather than rolling the bar to your shins and attempting to find the mid foot. I can see you trying to get your back in correct position, but you're confused about when to drop the hips and when to just raise the chest. So solidifying your setup is step one.

You're also turning the top into a quasi-squat-clean, so resist the temptation to add a front squat to this motion. I think you'll find that this extra step you added is unnecessary once you learn a good hard jump.

Start with these cues and see how your PC looks next time around.

Today's workout felt heavy.

Squats
I felt it in my back more than Mondays workout.

Will I always feel squats in my lower back?

Power Cleans
I tried to jump like BareSteel recommended. Reps 1 and 3 of set 1 felt good.
After the first rep of my second set I felt a pain in my upper lat on my left side, so I stopped.
