Form Check: Squat 110kg, Power Clean 65kg

[wfrx]

Follow-up from this thread: Squat Form Check 107,5 kg

Squat: 110kg 3x5
Set #3: TRIM_20170708_104154 - Streamable
Did finish all three sets, but could only film the last one.
I usually just focused on "hip drive" as a cue, this time I tried to also think more about "head down", "point nipples at the floor".
I timed my rest periods, I did at least 5 minutes between the sets.

Power Clean: 65kg 5x3
Set #4: TRIM_20170708_112518 - Streamable
Set #5: TRIM_20170708_113307 - Streamable
The angle is probably not ideal, but it's the best I could do.
I widened my grip a bit for the 5th set, not sure if that made any difference.

Anyone? How is my squat depth? They feel high and look borderline as far as I can tell.

For what it's worth, I agree with you re depth. Looks like maybe your stance might be a tad wide, and your toes may not be pointed out far enough. I'd try narrowing your stance (just a touch), point your toes out a little more and focus on shoving your knees out HARD. That might help you get a bit more depth. Aside from that, from a quick look, I've seen a lot worse squats posted on here!

- Not an SSC, just an amateur!

(Haven't looked at PCs, it's not a movement I do any more and I was shithouse at it when I tried it....)

Hi there,

re: PC

It's fairly decent, I would say.
You seem to be leading your stomp toes first. In some instances, you can see your heels lifting a big after your rack the bar. Think about hitting thee platform heels first.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, I'll try that. A close-ish stance with toes out to almost 45° seems to feel best in my hips, but causes a lot of knee travel, which is why I've widened my stance - could be too much.

Yes, definitely. I feel that I'm often catching the bar a bit forward. I'm thinking the "touch my shirt on the way up" cue could help - provided I don't regress into an arm-pull doing that.
