GM's: Why are you going that deep????!!!!! You are going about 4" TOO deep.

Why are you NOT looking up??? Look up and your arch will maintain a lot better. It is a fully body movement...not just a back exercise...don't freakin' bend over so much man!!!

Full Squats: You are bouncing at the bottom this time. The last 2" was a drop and a bounce...maybe think about pausing at the bottom for just a second and shooting back up fast. That is how the stones are done.

Seriously though...good job!!!! Looks like a pretty solid routine you have here. Once you get your form down solidly...you will see huge gains in weight, strength, and size.

hehe thanks for the info fellas. The reason I thought rounded back gms would be a good idea was because I felt arched back gms primarily in my hammies and a little in my lower back. With rounded I felt it more in my lower back and a little in my hammies...just figured i would vary but i guess rounded like that isn't good.

Can we talk about my high bar squat more? Pausing will stop that bounce...am i cheating? I wasn't even aware of it
CCJ ? B? more info on this please

Your just going down a bit too out of control I felt. And on some reps, because of this your butt came up faster than your torso.

Just lower a little bit slower, especially at the bottom where you tend to drop faster and bounce out. Nothing worng with going down fast, but you should start decclerating earlier so that by the time you hit the bottom your already going up. Think of it like kissing the bar on your chest when you bench instead of thumping up off the ribcage. It actually requires more strength and control to do this, but you benefit more from the exercise.

Then when your going up drive the floor away through your heels of your foot. Shove it as hard as you can all the way. That will keep your form in check and prevent the ass up effect
