Question on squats

[the.gladiator1987]

Good stuff in here. Also good job on 242 bro, btw you dont have to do the exact weight it has you do, You can round it off

Try some Lunges with weight, its a great workout and it stretches your muscles...

Cheers Glad. I'm in the UK so my gym works in kg, I try to add 2.5kg each workout. I just convert it into llbs for the sake of the board.

I think my stance might have been a bit narrower this week like Spector, I'll see if I can get a video on Friday morning and will try to post it up so you can see where I might be going wrong. Really wanna nail these things =D

Cheers zed. Ok, so today more box squats. Did 4 sets of 8 with 160lbs they felt good, I can already feel myself getting stronger off the box and will probably make them a more permanent feature in my programme.

After box squats I couldn't resist chucking more weight on and trying back squats again. This time there was no pain during but I was stiff as hell for a minute or two after each set. I managed to get a video so you guys can see if there are any issues with my form but I have no clue how to upload it (I mainly use my I phone app to post) so any help on how to post videos would be great =D

Think I managed to figure out how to upload videos (fingers x'd this works) constructive criticism and any pointers more than welcome.

That's a great looking squat bro. I am seriously considering starting the strong lift program. I will be watching this thread for your progress. My biggest question is you said you started with the bar which is what the stronglift site recommends. However what if you have been lifting for a while and are stronger than that? Would you still recommend starting with bar only and working up from there from your experience?
