Ok, maybe i can’t squat 600 lbs, but here are some videos of my squats. Please critique my squats constructively and let me know what i can do to improve them. Don’t mind the belt, i usually don’t wear one but today my back felt weak.
I screwed up this video but you can see abit of my form. Watch number 2, 3, 4 and so on…
(and yes, i DID yell YAH BUDDAY)
So those aren’t your legs in your avatar??
Form to me looked good. Work on keeping chest up and back arched in rep 2
The weights are hiding your posture a bit, but all in all, it seems decent to me as well. I agree with ZYL on the posture part though, but all in all, good work!
more videos are being uploaded as we speak… It just takes forever.
Good job lifting, but I was told you want to come up faster then when you go down. Always keep that in mind, ok ? Go down S-L-O-W, and EXPLODE to the TOP !!! GOOD WORK !!!
Form looks fine, just watch
leanin to far forward when comin up
from the squat
Looks good, but make sure youre not rounding your back (can;t see clearly). Also it looks like as you go on 2, 3 and 4 your hips are rising faster…so try pushing from your heels more (glutes) as the amount of weight you’re handling is decent and CAN injure you. Keep chest out and try looking upwards throughout.
#2… I forgot the plate clip. I was wondering why the hell it felt imbalanced.
front squats going for high reps.
front squats #2
front squats #3 (1 plate and 10)
I’m burnt at this point.
hey dont mean to hijack this thread,
but i find when i go heavy on the squats my right knee(which has been injured serveral times…football) collapses and goes in toward my body? whats the best way to fix this?
front squat #2 again

Your name isn’t venusismyplanet & you jacked my therad. So now I’m pissed.
Only watched the first 2 back squat videos. They look pretty good, nice and deep.
2 things that others haven’t mentioned.
Why are you bouncing and slightly bending your knees before you do your 1st rep?
When your doing heavy squats don’t fool around yelling stuff in between reps. You should be concentrating on getting air in and performing the next rep.

I’m re-adjusting the bar so it is perfectly centered. That way there is no imbalance. I move the bar left or right.
I don’t usually yell or grunt, but when i do, it’s for myself and not for others to be amazed. If i had my own gym, i’d be yelling “light weight” :)… Just words of encouragement to get the weight up psychologically.

I constantly try to keep that in mind. Chest up, ass out. Head raises first and drive with my heels. I’m working on it.

I don’t like to explode from the begining of the hole… This prevents knee problems, or am I wrong? Anytime after that, i try.

Nah, those are not my wheels. I wish.
Should I be worried about my knees slightly jiggling left and right when coming out of the hole? (I try as hard as possible to keep them stable)
Like that wasn’t even close to 600… You did like 295 for like 6ish? That is like middle school weight…get stronger
