1RM Back Squat & MP videos

[ark94]

Finally got my camera memory stick again.
Attempted my Back Squat and MP. I was very pleased with the Back Squat, quite a few things i was pissed about though...

Squats - I did get good depth (to some extent), but not as much as i wanted to(some reps i didn't get as much depth as i could have). However, if i went any lower my back would round significantly, so i tried to keep my back from rounding. Idk how good it was, any suggestions?

MP - fuck, i thought it went great. Only thing i am pissed about was how far my arms went back again. I am still working on keeping them more forward.

try getting the bar to sit lower on your back, that will make a huge difference...
also possibly widen your stance (cant see, but assuming) as your squat resembles more of a powerlifting squat than olympic...
get your depth down a bit... better to be DEEP than high...
focus on driving with heels
looks fairly well, but you want it to look near-perfect before moving up to realg heavy weights...
good efforts, youre on the right track...

MP looks fine, kinda hard to mess that up imo...

haha only part i mess up is going to far back with the bar at the top.

I have always tried it higher up on my back, i will have to give that a shot next time. My stance right now is between a wide and small stance, just sort of where i like it. Fiddled around with that for 5months now, and i like it in between, but i will have to give a wide and short stance a shot next time to see.
About that depth, if you see how low i go, my back is starting to round a tad, i used to squat really deep, apparently way to deep because my back would round immensely, now i found the spot where my does not really round. If i kept on squatting at that area, would my squat over time get deeper and deeper? Or does that also come from stretching etc? and btw, if i go to deep to the point where my back rounds, it becomes extremely hard to get up and i found it hurt my back a little and made my gm more.

squats depth was ok looks like you broke parallel, work on getting deeper it will come with time and flexibility...

jsut a couple suggestions. your shoes are not helping your squat at all. check out-

http://www.dynamic-eleiko.com/products/shoesFR.html I really love the ironworks

Also, when your unracking the bar, your stance is awkward which makes you off-balance before you even start squatting.
stand under the bar w/your feet set apart(not one in front of the other), than unrack the bar.

Have you tried box squats?? they will really carry over to your regular squats.
