Workouts are bad ass. You for some butt wink going on. I would reccomend not going as low and working in mobility until you get to that depth without that issue. Also work on keeping chest up elbows up that will help

What mobility work would you recommend for that issue dude?
I’m not the best at that. I would look at mobility wod. Hip openers. Working on hip flexion as well.
Honestly imo there is no reason to go atg unless you can safely. Just my 2 cents

Ok will do.
No I agree, especially for people like you and I who are 6 foot and above. I just suck at really gauging my own depth when doing reps.

Agreed with that. Stupid long legs. For me squatting becomes posterior chain dominant at parallel so I stop even shy of parallel. Go slow on you reps I mean 2-3 sec neg. focus on form and staying tight. You will feel your ass dip under and your low back round.

It’s hard to tell from the angle, but I think part of your problem is stance width. Your feet seem fairly wide for going that low, and your lower back tucks to compensate. Try bringing your stance in and really focusing on “high elbows”, sitting down and keeping the chest up and abs tight. Gonna be awkward, and you’re probably gonna have to lighten it, but the weights will come back. Or use it for all warmups, greasing the groove, whatever. Also, checkout Defrancos “agile 8” for mobility. He just recently posted the “limber 11”, but haven’t tried that.

Elbows and chest are normally ok, it’s just when exerting a lot of effort my form obviously falls to pieces.
My feet are just outside of my shoulders with toes pointed outward, that too wide for below parallel? I really should just go to parallel lol.
I will give Agile 8 another try then, I tried it when my lower back was in tatters but failed miserably at doing the roll over v sits, I implement everything else Defranco recommends in it bar them and the groiners.
meeeeh, least the bulk beard is coming along.
Forgot to weigh myself yesterday.
Today I was 175.6lbs, there’s some unpumped pics from then too.

Personally, anytime I squat with feet outside shoulder width it turns into more of a hip/low back move. Whenever I watch Olympic lifters squat, they’re generally inside of shoulder width and crazy upright. Never seen an oly lifter with bad quads, so there’s that.
