How does it look?
I know I lean forward too much, working on my mobility/flexibility.
Found out the other day that I was squatting wayy too deep (given my shitty mobility).
Video is me, it really feels like I'm quarter squatting but it looks decent depth-wise.
Also I have a much easier time recruiting my muscles since I dont lose all my tension at the bottom of the movement, where I used to let myself "fall" into the hole
Get into position before you go down. You're starting from almost a normal stand. Stick your ass out a little then up and down. Not stand up, then stick ass out as you go down. Also chest up like you said. You're squatting highbar, but ending closer to a low bar position. You're going full ROM, infact you're below parallel.
You mean start with my knees a little flexed as well? I usually do that but thought it may be wrong
I try to keep my chest up and elbows vertical as much as I can, but more than this I feel the bar slipping.
It must be my shoulder mobility, I have atrocious external rotation. that may be also the reason why I lean forward. i cant even overhead squat a stick
working on it
like this I mean, open hips, flexed glutes, semi flexed knees
push the bar into your traps, your arms are there to stabilize it, not passively hang on.
I know, they dont passively hang on. and I pull hard on the bar, activating my lats, so my traps are being squished alright
Squat 140kgx3.
I hit my previous 5rm of 130, and tried to see how many I could do with lmao 3pl8 since I was feeling good. Only managed 3 reps though.
looks good
how long lifting? program?
did you just squat to get those hamstrings? miring those milky calves
~2 years lifting. Started with SL, stopped after a short while as I needed to train for a different goal, started SS some months later. Once I finished SS, I bounced around a few different routines (Layne PHUL, GSLP) but eventually I went onto PPLPPLx and still on it. Still training my compound lifts for strength though using the same sets/reps as SS.
You were able to go on 6 days a week? no juice? I've been wondering about upping my days, it's been 6 months, but my progress is slow. I've not been efficient, like messing up my meal timing, not giving it my best.
I think I'll give SS another 3 months, maybe start going 4 days a week always and see how it goes
does GSLP work as an intermediate routine? 3/week? what accessories?
sorry I'm bored and curious
