Squats 295x3, 265x5 Form Check

[Mark Rippetoe]

How are these? Last set of 3x5@240.

It’s weird how it feeeels like I’m almost atg, but nowhere near it on playback. I keep trying to push lower throughout the set.

Also feels like my knees are being pushed forward a bit at the bottom. I was focusing on knees out and trying to sit back.

These are deep. Now, fix the knee slide.

Afraid I can't take credit for that, but it's a good idea.

Well, shoot...maybe it was Martin, then?

Yeah it was me. I can't remember what post it was.

I still think it's better to be able to tell by watching the lifter themselves, but useful for anyone to avoid reading that dreaded phrase from Rip. "Do not post above parallel squats here."

That's still better than "have you read the book?" though.

Thanks to everyone who has commented.

After figuring out proper depth, I’ve been adding 5lbs while working on the knee slide from last post.

Here is my last set at 265 today. Looking better yet?

These are looking better. Still a bit of knee slide to work on. Think of letting your knees bend forward right away at the same time as your hips. They are slightly delayed here currently.
