new squat video

thanks for all the feedback

madcow, i see what you're saying, actually the guy that taught me to squat does over 900lbs, and uses all those techniques, so I am familiar with them. Some I cant use, like good mornings, whatever is wrong with my back, wont let me do them anymore. I've been to several docs and they arent sure what is causing the pain, but for the last few years its has left out good mornings. It also stops me from locking out when I squat, when i do, it feels like I'm being puched in the lower back. My lower back has always been really strong, when I was doing them, I was using more weight for good mornings than for squats.

As for what you are describing, I think thats what I was taught too, but it was described as when you come out of the hole, thrust your hips forward like you are trying to screw someone, it straightens out the torso, but I tend to forget the little things when hitting weights I've never moved before. But I know I have things that I need to work on. Its hard as I always squat alone. This time I was lucky, the guy spotting me is a bodybuilder that has won shows all over the world, and is a judge up to the nationals level in ontario, but every other time its just me....maybe because I squat fridays, and everyone else has more important things to do on a friday....

very true, but most people dont realize that, especially when you hit rock bottom, your back automatically leans forward, but it really felt like I leaned a lot on a few of those reps

i th ought they looked really good...

its an injury I've had since I was a teenager. I generally dont round out on deads, but when I do, my back falls apart pretty quick

By pulling back on your torso you'll facilitate the hip thrust (to thrust your hips which is the lever both arms must be extending and just from the short video it's something I suggest giving a try - it's actually all the same thing just different ways of saying it but the upper arm attached to the lever, torso, is getting stuck out in front as the lever, hips, aren't driving underneath it adequately on a few of your reps) . Try focusing on it some in warm ups to get the feel. Personally, I suffer from the same hitch and focusing a bit on this even in light warm ups makes for an immediate "ah...I see" improvement. It's really worth a try as a botched rep can zap your reserves significantly.

I'll give this a try, I have a period of 4 weeks coming up where I'm lowering intensity, so it'll be a good time to practice

Nothing wrong with those mate. Medium stance power squat! If you want to be more upright,just have the bar higher and break at the knees first eg BB style or OLY style. Good work anyway.
