How do my Squats look?

[lweaver]

Decent standard back squats, not ATG however.

Def. need to drive knees out, change up the shoes and try to reduce the amount of shifting around once the bar is on your back.

There seems to be alot of pressure on your wrists, but your upper back is also very tight with that grip so I would stick with it if you arent having any pain.

As far as stance width, I'd keep it as is unless you plan on going for heavy and deep 1RM's.

they were lower then parrallel.


and like said before your stance and hands need to be wider and dont shake like that unless you have torretts or something. your wrists have way too much weight on them. i dont think i could even come close to getting my hands that close together.

but other then that it was good weight and u got nice and low.

hit some calfs

Yeah my calves suck. I'm pigeon boned and I can put my middle finger and thumb around my wrist so that my thumb goes past my fingernail on my middle finger. So I guess that is my excuse. I can put on weight on my back and chest, but the extremities have always been a problem.

I guess I shake around like that is so I can get the bar to sit on my traps just right. I guess I feel I'm more stable and can drive w/ my legs better.

I know my form probably lacks a little bit because this is one of my heavier sets. My knees are in great shape, and I have been squatting heavy (at least for me) since I was about 20 (26 now). To be honest w/ you, I've always wondered why my knees feel more strain when I'm doing lighter squats. It's weird.

Thank you all for the feedback. I appreciate it.

Keep that chest up and a really tight back. Little to much movement for me, but the completely my opinion only. Still very good and heavy great job.

For me the upper body should not move around, only slighty. Its something to work on, you will have to go lighter at first, but it keeps you back closer to your heels and really gets you into a powerful position at the bottom. To me the bottom looks a little weak, core strength looks slightly weak for this amount of weight IMO. I have a vid of me squatting if you wanna check it out. youtube search: kingsolver22 all my vids are there 365x5

im the same way man. arnold was kind of like that too. its what made him look a little bigger than he really was too. and compare the size of your fore arm or bicep to someone with alot thicker wrists than yours but the same size arms. you would actually have alot more muscle than them
