Squat Check - 285 - Have at me

[Edge]

So I had a rough set today, hit the bar on my catcher on the second rep and it threw me right off....

I was going to delete it, but said fuck it, let the folks on the board have at me.

Set 3, of 3 @ 285

Things I see:

Coming forward on the way down, forcing me to recover the path on the way up.

A couple of reps my hips were rising faster than my chest.. I need to work on my bounce out of the hole to keep that chest rising at the same pace as my initial drive

Depth was a little too much (except on the last rep) zackpassman mind fucked me by missing his depth so I think I was over compensating... Got some buttwink and forward bar movement as punishment.




Hey Milo, or anyone for that matter, I'll be starting advanced novice soon, suggestions on programming?

[zackpassman]

looks like the same issue I was having (am having) for a while... not letting the back angle break down.

Where's Milo when you need him.

I only opened this to check out your video editing.

But I do see a problem with your bar path--it's not quite vertical, with the bar moving forward slightly as you descend. For me, this was something that was correlated with a knee slide, and your knees do move forward a little bit in some of the reps. (You know I am a noob, though, so feel free to ignore.)

Nothing wrong with pointing out what you see, I believe the bar path issue is not from my knees, but from my back angle being too great too early, bringing the bar forward.. I need to slow the descent a bit and keep a higher angle into the hole.... I think knees coming out is a compensation for this (as you can see the bar coming forward on the descent)..

Just what I think though, differing opinions are always welcome... I have a lifting session with a SS coach on the 7th... I want to get as good at form as I can before it so he can focus on the difficult things instead of basic form..


Edit: How's my video editing?

[zackpassman]

Maybe try using that slot analogy Rip uses. That's kinda how I'm trying to fix mine. I'm not there yet, but I think it's improving.

I'll be posting another tonight @ 290.. We'll see how it goes.

Interesting to hear about other causes of non-vertical bar paths. (I am not surprised there is more than one.)

Your video editing is brilliant.

[Edge]

Your video editing is brilliant.

lol.... Zackpassman does the best... actually takes the time to put in titles of his sets and shit...

Ha! It literally takes me 2 seconds with that cutecut app. you add a text block, then add a video and repeat. I trim the videos the normal iphone way first.
