I need some help on my squat. i round my back on the way up. its like when i push with my legs my back goes up but my upper back just bends down. also i have some trouble keeping my CCOG over the middle of my foot.

now this huge ass mofo in my gym noticed it and told me to try putting something under my heels.

I sayd well arent you supposed to be able to do it without that.
cuz in like PL competitions they dont use that stuff either.

ps the back thing only happens after a few reps.
for a second like mid ROM it would feel like im doing a hyper
 
arent you even supposed to be able to do them heavy barefoot?

theres obviously something wrong with my technique.
what can it be?
 
video? no sorry.
so you figure i need to stick my ass back more?
sounds so logical you know but i dont work out at home or something or id go try it some now
 
You need to stay upright and keep your hips in line with the bar. The bar needs to travel straight up and down.
 
what exactly do you mean by keep your hips in line with the bar
logically you dont like... turn them or something thats not what you mean is it?

the bar needs to travel straight up and down-
then why do smith squats feel kinda "wrong" if its supposed to move that way?
or is this just something you concentrate on to do it right but never actually happens
 
If you hang a string from the barbell, it should hang down to your hip bone. If you are leaning forward, the string will be in front of your hipbone. When you squat down, the bar should STILL be over your hips.

looks so easy when that hairy fucker does them.
i know they are supposed to be like that i mean to do them like that but I dont for some reason. I think it is because i am afriad to let my knees come forward. but the hairy guy does it too.

its just a misconception that you shouldn`t isn`t it?

Ill also read that article on the squat that Arioch made very carefully. i loved the deadlift one and read it like 3 times but i have so far been too lazy to really read the squat one.
