Squat Problem

[oso0960]

Hey EM, I wouldn't worry about it as long as Dead>ATG Squat>Bench.

One thing I noticed when I did the 5/3/1 (which I believe is something similar to what you're doing), my squat ate shit. Sure, I probably shouldn't have keto dieted on it haha, but it ate shit moreso than my bench and dead combined probably because my body was so used to doing it 3x a week. Actually I probably had similar ratios with Dead/squat/bench as you when I was done with it.

OK what I can see from your vid:

You are making into two motions. You push your hips back stop and then bend your knees. Try and start bending your knees before your hips get all the way back.

You are drifting forward badly so all your weight is on the balls of your feet and off your heels.

You are leading up with your hips instead of your chest/chin. Try looking up at a fixed point above you on the wall. You are looking into the mirror and wherever you look is where you go. Look forward go forward, look up go up.

You are loosening your core coming out of the hole which is partly caused by not leading up with your chest.

Try and sit back onto your heels like sitting in a chair.

i pretty much agree with all of this. how else are you squatting? i like to throw a lot of variation into my squats.

well lately the variations I have been doing are walking lunges and leg press aswell as the full squats.

I do leg press after deadlifts

Im thinking of changing my squat day to:
Sumo Box Squats
Olympic Style Squats
RDL
Standing Calves
Weighted Abs

@scotsman, thanks for that, when I can squat again Ill retake a video and see if I can do them any better

Second on scotsman's analysis.

Are you still planning on squatting once a week?

i will have a squat day once every 9 days, although i will leg press on deadlift day

how many days apart are leg press/squat?? Maybe you can add front squat or OH squat instead of leg press?

iv tryed before doing front squats after deadlifts my back is usually smoked and makes front squats hard.

lol what is this obsession lately with front squats and OH squat?

i mean squat variations. if i where in your exact situation i would try squatting 2x per weak and throwing some variation in there. i usually do shoulder width stance atg with no lockout. sometimes i shoot for as low as 3 and other times i shoot for 20. one time i wanted to see if i could hit 50 and projectile vomited on a rep somewhere in the 30's but i swear it started a nice gain.
