Matty I have hit the racks before- so I take a bigger step then needed
should get that down to two smaller steps or three small steps
I trying to find a grip width that makes my shoulder(s) feel ok - but lets me get the elbows under
see - it needs work
I’d be interested in hearing about what’s causing your knees to come in at the bottom like that. You make a conscious effort to drive them out but they still do it. Is that a strength thing or a mobility one? I need to film myself from that angle too.
I would take three smaller steps rather than two big ones but that’s my personal preference.

James- I usually dont get true knee cave- if I set my stance correctly-
but there it is.
I am thinking its too wide- and you see some ankle weakness manifesting
you can see my right foot kind of leans out
should help
thanks
Oo vids! Yeah I forget collars too sometimes, or even to put an even amount of plates on both sides 
MarauderMeat says knee cave is your body recruiting (stronger) quads. Rippetoe (who I’m not a particularly big fan of wrt squats) says it’s due to weak adductors. Probably a little bit of both? Sounds like you’re on top of it though. The only thought I have to add is I thought heeled lifting shoes and wide stances don’t mix?
Looks pretty good for just starting out back squatting, you’re too harsh on yourself.
Remember remember, pain free is the best form of all.
seems like you caved more on set one, set two you only caved in on the last rep really. it will come back quickly
mini-T yes I haz vids .
I will pimp my youtube like a foamroller its blackirishbastid
PG -meat might be on to something he is a smart guy.
and Rip as cranky as he is - all the adductors I count as part of the hamstring
as for shoes I think its all about stability - chucks while comfortable arent really for my high arches
PeteS thanks for taking a look im just looking for things to improve and nail down before loads get more realistic
training 3.9.12
I actually moved the bar from the squat rack to bench
then I did curls and tris hovering over the DB rack.
531,2345 verse 1 week two day two
pvc lx ball at home
jumprope do people really count the skip numbers
8 million leg swings I counted
activation
face pull x hanging leg raise x OH squat 3x10
A squat 95x10,145x10,165x10,195x10
B1 bench 95 2x5, 145x3,165x3,185x8
B2 pullup 5x10
C1 ez bar rolling tri 80,100,100,100x8
C2 ez curls 80 4x8
D TRX - 3 circuits of inverted row, pushups, face pulls, fall outs some other strange shit
Notes.
I am a sad individual dragging the squat bar out of the rack to bench.
first I was pissed that I only got 8 on 185
then I thought And realised I probably have not done that in ??? years???
so I was happy
then that quickly evaporated when 110 lb 16 year old repped out 225 x10
see how quickly your hope can be dashed.
placed with stance and bar position and hand place ment on squats-
sliding my hands out further seems to hurt my shoulders less but takes away from keeping tight
shit to work on.
truth be told it was a fun - no brain session
sets of ten on squats feel alien but good
thanks for reading.
I think pete is right about your squats and that with time and reps that caving will go away.
Also, videoing from that angle I think squats always look higher than when filmed from the side.
Good to see you at it.
Thank you Joe and Snap
Depth can and will improve with time too
I am trying to keep my feet and knees locked into position

haha! i left the first two comments in there so you knew what I was laughing at.
As for the kid: it’s the hormones they pump into milk. I swear, kids are freaks of nature these days.
also, he’s probably allergic to peanuts. so you should be happy again.
Lula- glad to help a chuckle
most of the kids watch me pull and squat and figure something is up when I bench and press.
ok.
maybe 1 of the 3 people who watch me at the gym have figured something is up.
some kettle queer stuff pvc rolling some other rehab type shit
and some actual work- tax shit , exemptions 1099,w2’s
all ready to go to the accountant.
tomorrow afternoon I train with Mattyxl and HARA
MattyXL and HARA are some strong mofos

we met in NYC and trained today.
some OHP Some Pulls
finished with a super set of Db pressing and pullups
both those bastards OHP 225 for 2 I did a 185 pushpress x2
we all pulled 405 for singles and doubles
Hara pulled 475 for a single
I got it to my knes FML
then these bastards tried to kill me with incline DB presses
good times all around
cant wait to do it again
who has the least neck to waist diffreence?
Nnnice work ya old bastard!
have you heard about putting a microband around your knees to cue ‘knees out’? if that works (and it seems to work for a lot of people) then that makes it an issue of… neurological recruitment?
i went through a phase of using the microband for warm-up sets (which made them feel harder than they would otherwise) but then my work sets went really well indeed. just a thought.
That sounded like an epic gym session. Where are the Bro vids???!!!
It was truly horrible to see your Knee Tree up close…fucking gross 
Thank you for all the knee love
Lexi I think I am just out of practice more then having serial knee cave
PG it was awesome that gym is super tiny and really we just wanted to train
Matty I will spare posting pics of the knee here there are some earlier
Training 3.12.12
PVC rolling lx ball at home
Jump rope and mobility stuffs
3 rounds of activation shit face pulls HLR and OH squats
A squat 1352x5 185x5 work 245x5 275x5 300x6
B seated good mornings 135 3x8
C1 incline DB press. 60x12, 70x12,70x10

Notes
Squats felt good I keep leaving reps in the bag - how close to failure should I be going
Seated good mornings suck. I need some upper back work
Presses and rows easy where fine other shit is just essential
I need to add more unilateral work thanks for reading
I am a big fan of seated GM’s for da upper back, got to fit them into my routine somewhere…
I am rocking the Dimels on Wed bro…awesome work as usual.
