    Could I get a form check on my squat and dead lift.

    I am 39 weigh 211. I am coming back from several surgeries that I had over the last couple years on my hips and core, so it’s been a while since I squatted heavy. I think my knees are sliding rearward at times and I also need to work harder on driving them out.

    I am preparing for the meet on the 14th. Thanks for the help and see you in a few weeks.

    Squat - I would narrow the stance a bit

    Deadlift - The Squeeze isn't getting all the way there. A 4in belt typically isn't great for most guys your size for this reason. I would see how they look without the belt or consider DL with a 3in belt. But you need to get your back flat and keep it flat. Think about pushing your belly between your knees

    Ryan thanks for the feedback.

    I’ll narrow my stance on the squat a couple inches.

    I’ll do my next deadlift without a belt. I heard Rip discuss belt size on a recent pod cast and have wondered if mine is too big for me on deadlift. Sounds like it is haha.

    Thanks again.

    Yes better. Getting just a slight bit of forward knee movement so focus on reaching back all the way with your hips.

    I am back for a form check. 9 days out of the November meet I buried a squat below parallel and hurt my adductor.

    It had taken last 2 months to get here and am able to finally squat without pain with heels closer together.
