Squat form check

[Blurmpf]

142kg.

On the 4th rep, the bar drifts up above the spine of my scapula. You can clearly see it happen, and how it affects the bar path.

I have posted 1 squat form check thread before. The coaches said I needed to start my reps standing up straighter at the hips. I hope I have achieved that somewhat, since now I am able to take the standard grip.

Set your knees earlier.

You're losing thoracic extension. Pick your pecs up and then bend over.

[Blurmpf]

Sorry, what does it mean to set your knees?

[Blurmpf]

...Does it mean stop their movement forward/out?

[AndrewLewis]

Get your knees forward early. They should be in their final horizontal position about halfway down the squat. Does that make more sense?

[Blurmpf]

Yes thank you!

[AndrewLewis]

You're welcome. Anytime.

Hey OP, did that clavicle issue of yours get better?

[Blurmpf]

It certainly did! I believe it was just part of getting a widened frame. Clavicles decided they needed to make some room for the extra tissue being developed maybe. (And I was learning/gaining thoracic and shoulder flexibility).
