Check This PR Bitches!!! ... (and also check my squat form)

[RADAR]

Yeah bro I just watched it again and yes I do lean forward before descending if thats what you mean. Ill try to stop that. All these little things and I thought I was squattin well lol

I am guilty of it also, but let me tell you it will make your lower back muscles hard as shit!

Then you can concentrate on form as you advance!

Alright Iv done some pretty hard shits in my life so I guess thats good LOL
Im not gonna try 225 again today, I think Ill go for 200x6 concentrating more on form... Or should I do 225 and just build up the reps, when I reach 6 reps then up the weight?

Form first, then pounds.

So how low should I drop it? I would have through dropping 10kg would be ok? Or shuold I drop it more?

10kg (22lbs) might be a good place to start. You might have to go to 15kg (33 lbs). But once your form is down, the weight will come back very quickly.

In the meantime, go to youtube and watch people like Ed Coan and Kirk Karwoski (who I think could be the best squatter there is) squat. Watch the videos of coach Rippetoe that I posted earlier. Burn their form into your head.

Do you guys have a power cage at your gym? Someone might have suggested this but I didn't read the whole thread. I can't squat in squat racks because I hot the supports when I get all the way down. You are doing amazingly for your age and for many people older than you really. Like others said concentrate on not leaning over so far and you could get a good deal lower as well. I would guy buy the book Starting Strength if you are really interested in perfecting your form without the use of a coach.

I do front squats ATG on fridays. Back squats to parrallel on monday and now I am adding in 1 set of lighter back squats ATG straight after my normal back squats. So the depth problem is sorted.

And about leaning forward, yes I know I do a little but I think this is just a flexibility issue, I cant sit back much more otherwise I fall over LOL.

The longer your femur, the more forward you have to bend at the waist to keep the bar over your feet.

The bar needs to move in a vertical plane.

Ok so how can I solve it

 

[bblazer]

By doing nearly everything that has been said in this thread, watching the videos, and practicing.

There is no magic bullet on this one.
