can you guys critique these?? just rip it apart...

thanks in advance

Congrats, but, um...pr's on speed day? For weight? I'm confused...

when i say pr i just mean like pr singles...not maxes or anything
just the most weight i've done for a speed single

I like to take a 1 or 2 pretty heavy singles every few weeks


bad idea?

[t3c]

nope...never thought about that. I go by feel if that makes any sense. I dont usually have a lifting partner on squat day so it makes it nearly impossible to time myself acurately

got any form critque for me lady spatts?

 

[spatts]

Oh, gotcha.

Have you ever timed for speed improvement? With the same weight/tension?

 

[t3c]

damn it...how do i fix the quad thing?

just get stronger hammies i guess?

 

[spatts]

You're rocking forward and using your quads, but you are doing a MUCH better job of keeping your back tight! I can tell it's a weight thing because you don't do the rocking thing in the lighter set.

I asked about timing because I was thinking about doing it for fun...I go by feel too. I wake up one Saturday and suddenly a weight that used to feel opressive is feeling bouncy...then I know it's time to move up.

 

[t3c]

no i have not...i will try that next week...well the week after. Contest next week

 

[spatts]

Yep....hips and hams. Have you ever tried box squatting with a mini doubled around your knees?

 

[t3c]

gotcha...sounds good to me spatts thanks alot

nothing wrong with the speed sets?

 

[spatts]

It's normally used to help recruit the hips and force the knees out, but it also helps to keep from rocking forward because it's hard to rock and push out at the same time.

Like I said, you don't do it at lighter weights, so it's a strength thing.

 

[IronLion]

You are losing you're arch just before you touch the box, I can see your back round a little. You are doing everything else really well, I think you need a little more hamstring flexability to be able hit parallel with a good arch. It looks like just before you get there your butt and back start to curl, from what seems like your hamstrings not being able to stretch any more.

awesome job....those squats were furiously fast, bro tb

 

[Exodus]

looking good bro, tear them up at that contest.

i dont have any new form advice. spatts and IL hit the nail on the head.

i like the idea of testing 1 or 2 singles with the band......... i may give that a shot.
