Squat for check 5x165kg
I just reset my squat by 10% and switched to advanced novice, and want to get my technique checked before reaching difficult weights again.
Here is a video of the highest weight I reached. I managed to get it for 5, 4 and 2 reps the first time I attempted it, and what you're looking at is the first set. The next workout I only got 4 reps on the first set before the bar pushed me back down on the way up, to which I responded by calmly nodding, thinking back to my ever-increasing lower back fatigue, and taking 45kg off the bar for a couple of light 5s. I was beat up. Any technique improvements to make working my way back up?

Thank you, I think I get the message. I'll focus on bending over more on the way down and keeping my knees in place coming out of the bottom. Will see how much further that takes me building back up.
-
These any better? I'm cueing myself to break at the hips and knees at the same time, and to keep hips tight at the bottom.
-
Better. Can you tell me why the 5th rep slowed down so much?
-
That's how it usually looks for me once the fatigue sets in despite resting 7-10 minutes between sets. Taking an extra breath between the last two reps helps, but I hadn't given myself permission to do that yet. I read somewhere here that stopping to breathe between reps on a 5RM or 20 rep squats is fine, but that it shouldn't be required on the NLP. What do you think?
-
Look at your back angle on that rep, note when the bar speed slows, and tell us if there is a correlation.
-
I stop driving with the hips and try to get my chest up too early, don't I?
-
Precisely. Very good. Stay In Your Hips.
