I thought that these were good, until I looked at the video, and saw that every one of them was high. I'm gonna spend some time squatting to a box to relearn depth. This really pisses me off though. I should know by now what a parallel squat feels like, and I should be able to hit it every goddamn time. Weak fucking sauce.
Oh, and I probably should have known better than to go for that 5th rep, but I really wanted it.
No assistance today. Instead we went outside to chainsaw a tree and chop some wood for a couple hours.
You're bending over too far as well.
ReplyDeleteSome generic cues you need to hit:
Hips back.
Arch your back harder.
Chest out.
It seems like an odd thing to say, but you need to shorten your stroke. Get under the bar, arch as hard as you can, sit back, explode up.
And get a belt.
Can you show me a video of what it should look like?
ReplyDeleteAdvice from Rip that sort of applies to you:

Obviously his stance is not as beneficial to a raw lifter, but notice how he doesn't bend forward at his waist. His chest is up, his head is up, and his back is arched.
