Squat help?

If you're having trouble keeping your balance it's probably because your core muscles aren't ready for the move yet. (Think of it as a squishy column - your torso - trying to hold up a roof.) Beef up your standing ab moves and low back work.

And good mornings, good mornings, good mornings.

I have long legs (esp. thigh) and a short torso, so I have a decent amount of forward lean when I squat. But that's physics and not because I can't support the bar. Well, at least usually...

Hey Spatts, do you train squats with the same stance as you do in the video. I ask, because its much wider then I would normally go.

i squat med/wide. enough to get me in the hole with a good alignment of my knees and toes. my OL shoes help me sit alot better than my squishy new balance. (and i thought they were stiff until yesterday). i can go ATF with a narrow stance too but my ass sticks out too much then on the way up. my stance now is a good blend of glute/ham and quad emphasis. a good balance for my goals/purposes.

thats not to say that a round of box squats arent beneficial to me from time to time. hehehe.
