Third set of squats

Depth looks good on those squat.

you have a tendancy to lean forward, like many of us. I found that placing the bar lower on my back helped with that.

also you need to keep your elbows forward.

well done Busy

Thanks for the help, Frenchie!

I know I lean forward too much, I’ll try moving the bar lower.

How do you get your elbows more forward?

I’ll try figuring that out tomorrow when I start the next week of the program.

Hey 2busy - Popping by to see how your progress is doing
Squats
hmmm
I would recommend doing to the hole a little more controlled then rushing. You can find help on how to do squats properly by going to Elitefts.com and viewing their incredible video series on squatting. This helped me tremendously. Also see if you can view the video by Charles Poliquin on squats as well. If you watch both, you can have a happy medium there.

Don’t be a stranger, fellow Warrior.

The vids helped a lot. I needed to look up more, tended to look down, which led to the forward lean.

I also did yoga on Monday.

X 2 I was checking out their site too. So thanks for the link too. Ha ha.

I check out your log Busy but I don’t always post.

I lurk way more in TN than I post. :stuck_out_tongue:

You seem to be getting back to normal lifting again. Are you finished healing?

Cliff Notes on 2busy

Improving steadily, still no where near where I want to be.

Indigo
 My Marine Corp son told me “Dad, you’re getting bigger, in a scary way”

The Bulgarian Squats are awkward as hell for me. But it works balance, which I need.

I still get pain in the hernia repair area. Military presses are the worst.

That seems to be improving, but increasing the weight has brought it back.

I get it also after a full out effert on back checking or on break aways on the ice.

Surgeon said expect pain for up to a year after surgery :frowning:

Lurking??? That must be something those night people do
 :wink:

Thanks Hallie and Charlie for stopping in!

Howdy, just stopping by to see what you’ve been up to. I really like the split your working with, I definitely think I can use parts of it to improve my own.

Keep it up, looking forward to dropping in more often.

Haah scary bigger yay!
