It felt much better, hips are still weak, but it felt better and stronger
This may look harder than it was, I did about 6 or 7 sets of 5 with 225, and 3 or 4 sets at 135 and 185.

looking better my man!
I think teh first thing I’d attack is the knees caving in at the beginning of your push as well as your upper back rounding/chest caving.
Focus on pushing the floor apart with your feet and pushing your knees out. Focus on almost feeling your chest being pulled up or pulling your scapulae together. If you just get the idea of what things feel like when you pull your scaps together or imagine your chest is being pulled up that’s the sort of feelign you want when you’re pushing up. It’ll keep your core and back more rigid.
Good luck!

Yeah Im really working on the knees caving, the chest caving didnt feel too bad and I guess I really didnt see it, but I will work on that next time also.
your form is looking good just minor issues VERY minor so your basically doing good
You lift equipped, yeah? This may be the blind leading the blind, but your shins are moving a lot; try sitting back more, getting your weight on your heels, and spreading the floor.
this was what it was like before, I made alot of progres I would say in a couple days, I have some bugs to perfect, but I have one more light (deload) week and then I think I will have it down great.
I think you could have squatted a little deeper, but other than that they looked good.
looks a ton better but still a little unstable.weak out of the hole. but steps ahead of the last vid. great work.
take one of the light bands like a mini or monster mini and double it around your knees for lighter sets like 135,185 and 225 since your in a mono it will be easy to set up as you wont have to walk out with bands around your knees, this will help with the caving im surprised no one else suggested it its been advocated by louie and tate and all that.
thanks guys, the hips will be gettin stronger. like I said before, It might look better if I hadnt done so many sets.
Progress is looking good. Although you do look rather loose when you’re in the hole(knees moving and what not) easy to fix, like some of the guys have said work on pushing the ground apart, that will help huge with that problem. On your 3,4,5 reps you can start to see your back round and chest cave(watch your shoulders when watching the film they roll in).
Either then that you’re starting to look pretty solid. Just be sure to think about the “little” things chest out , push the ground apart etc. they make a huge difference. If you can try and ditch the knee wraps for awhile and get use to pushing the ground apart. Unless of course you need them mentally or physically. Stay tight and keep up the good work.
Also BlackLabel that has taken me forever to figure out that is an ass in your pic. I thinking I’m becoming gay.
I would do some sumo dealdifts and zercher- and/or frontsquats.
Your knees cave in, sumo will help adressing that.
You´re not tight in the core, zercher and fronts can help you with that issue.
Also, tuck in your chin. This will make your upper back tighter.
I still see you initiating the movement with your knees. You need to break at the hips. THe first movement should be back, not down.
