    Default Squat check (1 month in)

    Hello there!

    Im new to starting strength, but not new to lifting weights. This is the first time Ive squatted more than 100kg (225lbs). I have fairly long legs but the starting strength squat technique has allowed me to hit sub-paralell without hip pain. Now its more tiredness/pain of some sort in the right outer hip/gluteus during/after workouts, but this is not affecting me very much. I am guessing this is normal at this stage in the program.

    In this video I do 102,5 kg (226lbs?). Think ive already done one rep. Its slowed down to 1/2 speed.



    Any obvious technique errors?

    Regards
    Martin, Norway

    Great job!

    Keep eating and adding weight to the bar.

    Obvious? No. The last rep you lifted your chest instead of driving with the hips. Fantastic, so far. Issues on the way up will largely correct themselves as you keep working form and adding weight.

    Your elbows are a bit high. Don't slow the video down please.

    Ok guys thanks! I have a video showing the side angle. It's from a set a few days ago at 97.5 kg, normal speed. Could try to elevate the camera next time. Sorry sticky...

    Help me see this. In my eye, the back angle is maintained until the latter half of the ascent. When you say he's lifting his chest, at which point in the ascent are you referring to?

    Cut your depth off a bit.
