Need a little help fellas

[Lord_Suston]

Got a slight problem with my squat right now. I am starting to have problem out of the hole/bucket. I know it is not my lower back since I dead some decent weight and can SLDL 275 for sets no prob. I think it might be my quads .

So I was thinking of working on my front squats as a primary lift and some box squats as well...

Any suggestions???

Maybe I had a bad day but I want to prevent future imbalances

What is your stance like??

Work on hip strength. . .I personally recommend box squats (pause on the box) or chain suspended squats over a platform using a wide stance.

Speed work is also good. . .gives you nice explosion.

perform 10 x 2 @ 50 to 60 percent of max.

 

[jerkbox]

yes....i was gonna say the same thing....box squats to get those hips moving.

Shoulder width and a high bar position

hmm maybe some speed squats are needed

Yeah, I have one of the Wieder "Mass" VHS tapes and Ed Coan talks about what he calls compensatory acceleration.

And it is just that...compensating with acceleration. You attempt to accelerate the weight throughout the entire concentric movement. Of course this can be dangerous and great care has to be taken by lowering the weights such as louden had said.

I tried this with bench press and when your done you really feel it.

Any chance it might just have been a bad day...or some part of your form was 'off'?

it was a bad day, I was driving all day and only got abnout 3 hours worth of sleep. But on the other hand I was supposed to do 365 for 5x5 on squat. I got out 2 sets for 5 reps but I felt like shit. I think I am going to just relax for this week and hit it hard next week, but with some lighter weight and higher reps and do some speed work.
